Bad324 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I acquired this table saw and its a 220v hook up in which I don't have so I don't really have the space to have this hanging around. I'm not totally sure of its value so figured I'd enlist in all your help! All I know about it is that its 30+ years old, runs like a champ (im told) and is a Sears Roebuck unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 If you really want the table saw to have and use, you could swap that motor for a 110V motor. From my experience, they don't make woodworking equipment like they used to and that is probably a sturdy one. Being that it still says "Sears Roebuck and Co." it's probably from the 70's. They dropped the Roebuck name after that. In current condition it's probably worth $100-150 tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 If someone is truly interested in this saw, I'd guess by looking at the pics that the motor is a single phase/dual voltage winding, meaning that you could easily rewire the controls for 120V. Only drawback is that it's now gonna draw double the amperage, so you'll need a minimum of 15 amps, or more likely a 20 amp circuit on a minimum 12g wire (10g=better!).

TRMN8TR Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'd guess by looking at the pics that the motor is a single phase/dual voltage winding, Yup, after looking a little closer it does say 115/230 V on the nameplate. 14.8A @ 115V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomike Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just change the taps inside the motor per the diagram on the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks for the info guys! I don't have any interest or real need for it. I don't do any wood working projects and if I did need to use a table saw, we have one here at my work I have access to. Just gonna sell it to help fund the rest of my deck project!

vf1000ride Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 My dad has that exact same saw. He runs his on 110V so it should be no problem to convert it over. It's a good piece of kit and should outlast anything modern by 2-3 lifetimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
