Hi Col, yes i think i`ll just buy a 1ph motor and take the simpler option.
I plan on making it pulley drive like you did and so need to make a shaft and install flange bearings like you did.
I`ll try and get the casting stripped before i do this , i bought another small saw the other day (received it today) which is built like a tank and a fantastic piece of engineering, an American saw of which i dont think ive ever seen one over here .Just needs stripped as someone has did a bad paint job using gloss house paint of a colour i dont like.
After today im going to stop looking at band saws on ebay.
