Delta buying motors from Sears

most unisaws are 220, that should be a 15a 240v plug

Somewhere there is a matching 120 volt 15A outlet wired to 240 volts :-)

As for Sears, the catalog that yesterday's mail brought shows some new Craftsman "light industrial" table saws, they don't even bother stating a horsepower rating in the description. That's a new twist.

Haven't you heard? That is a major invention that came from the Sears Marketing Research Labs. It was first applied to air compressors. They are getting 5 HP from an ordinary 115V wall socket. That must be 300% efficiency. This is truly astounding. Who needs cold fusion?

Now Sears is applying this new technology to table saws. Today they are only able to get 130% efficiency. With their top marketing researchers on the project, they should be able to push it up to 300%. From there only the sky is the limit! ;-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is known as "virtual power." But, tell me, is the ever-present risk of kick-back on table saws consistent with the actual power or the virtual power? Seems their advertising people may have another gimick they haven't used.

They have much smaller horses than the rest of industry. Shetland ponies, I think. 10,000 foot-pounds per minute instead of the normal 33,000. Kept on a secret Sears horse farm somewhere.

That would explain why my new Kenmore fridge makes ice, even though I forgot to plug it in.

I'll bet you're right. My 3HP single phase Uni-saw has a
