Re: K 700 S electrical question

Hey Craig,
Felder should be able to provide the specs for that motor(specifically FLA), and you can shoot that spec to American Rotary for them to confirm. Or, you can do your own homework if you want a faster response. I assume you can find the output spec for your converter pretty easily. I suspect you will be fine, because it takes an unusual operation to max out a 5.5kw motor on a saw. I have maxed out the capacity of the 700 before crosscutting a very thick end grain island, but it's not often you are sawing through 5" of material.?
That seems like a fairly good deal on the used saw. For how lousy the last few years have been for used machine buyers, it appears that things are coming back down to reality. Good luck with the upgrade

I've been lurking in the background reading old and current topics since I looked at my first used Felder sliding table saw a few months ago (didn't buy it...).? I've come across the following used K 700 S () and I'm trying to confirm if my current electrical set up (10 HP American Rotary Convert) will work with the saws 5.5 kW (7.3 HP) motor.? I know the rule of thumb is the RPC should be twice the 3-phase motor?but I also see comments that 75% of the RPC works as long as there's not a heavy starting current.??
Can anyone confirm that my situation as described will work?? If not, I'll keep looking for the right saw.
Thanks again.
Craig Z.
