Status: Large Vertical bandsaw still needs attention. We need to wire up the motor to a VFD (Andrew has stated that we can barrow the one from the 2 x 60" belt sander) to test the motor. If test is successful, we need to reinstall the motor, clean up the bandsaw, remount the yoke and the table and get it prepped for a 3-phase power drop.
