Sorry for the late reply

The motor is a 240vac 3 phase 1/4 hp, . the drive is an AB 240vac 2 hp 3 phase, I dont remember the % the drive needs to be sized larger than the motor but 2 to 3 time higher is the norm from what i have seen, Im sure some one on here will correct me (flame away). the wiring is straightforward, single phase 240 in 3 phase 240 out!

week points, the blade needs to be high quality, the motor mount bracket is a little week and hard to get it to keep the belt tight, and the little plastic cover that is around the blade in the middle of the table makes it hard to cut small pieces
