Thanks for everyone's help. Like I mentioned, crazy timing for one of these to pop up the day I made the thread and it be the most recommended. Going pick the saw up tomorrow. Only problem is its a 52" fence. Will see what its like and make a decision if I should attempt to find someone to trade for the smaller fence. Guy had 2 others lined up to see it, so no haggling other than getting a dado cartridge thrown in, but he closed his business and is selling off a bunch of stuff and got a 1.5 hp jet dust collector thrown in for just a little more.

Congrats! You’ll be very happy with that saw. Will be interested in how you get it moved. Take off the raills and both iron side tables, and you still have a pretty heavy cabinet? I have to move mine soon, so will be interested in your input, if you don’t mind updating.

Awesome! Your going to really enjoy it. There‘s a group “Sawstop User Group”. They have people that swap rails every now and then. You could post on their see if anyone wants to swap. It’s also just a good group to be on.

Rented a 5x8 trailer from Home Depot for the day. Was 40 bucks. Relatively low and a sturdy back ramp. Laid some OSB over the grating of the ramp. Used a furniture dolly borrowed from a coworker which has a heavy duty strap to hold the saw on and is tall enough to get leverage by myself. Took two of us to get it on and although my wife was there, really got it offloaded by myself. I couldn't have stopped it, but I could direct it easily down the ramp. Really not a terribly difficult move all together.
Everything is attached, Just need to tune it up tomorrow . Ended up buying his JET air filter system as well. I realllly need to get this electrician lined up now, haha. Lotta cool toys that can't really be used.

Grizzly sells very good tools. The are probably not as nice as the other brands but for the money they are sufficient. I have a 2 HP grizzly hybrid saw with a incra fence and I’ve never used a better saw. Mine is about 8 years old and it stays tuned up like it’s brand new....and at times it has been used like a production saw. Can’t be beat at the price.
A note on voltage......a multi voltage motor pulls the same load at 240 as it does at 120 volts. The only advantage is you can pull smaller wire....but you have 3 instead of 2 so that’s not really that much of advantage. Normally install costs will be more because of the amount of copper in 3 smaller conductors than in 2 larger conductors. The motor will perform identically either way. And last as long, either way. The same is true of all single phase and 3 phase WYE circuits. There is some applications where 3 phase delta circuits, either single or 3 phase, depending which phases are connected to the load, where on leg is a higher voltage than the others and therefore there is less current on that leg. This is fairly common in industrial and commercial applications but in my experience unheard of in residential applications in the US. It is common in Europe and most of the world but not here. A motor operates at its rated HP and pulls the same load regardless of its being 120/208 single phase or 240 volt single/3 phase. There is a slight difference between 208 and 240 in current. The same is true of 277/480 wye systems.....the current is the same on one conductor, or half that on 2 or roughly 1/3 that on 3. No difference in speed or torque but start up current can be different.

Well worth the price of refurbishing an old Unisaw. Hard to find at a decent price cause no one will part with one.

Got the shop wired up on Monday. Just ripped through a few hundred feed of Walnut. Didn't even use a rip blade, just a good quality combo blade. That 3 HP sawstop went through it like butter. Still probably would be okay with the 1.75HP if I had to buy new, but beyond happy I found the 3HP saw used. Thanks to all who pointed me in this direction.
