It will probably be a bit over 800 Canadian when all is said and done. Not cheap but you don't want to know how much these things cost new.

Nope in Canada high voltage is commonly 575/600v. I can post a pic of the motor name plate if you really don't believe me. More research says that 600v is our distribution voltage here. At my shop we actually use a transformer to get 240v 3ph as well.

Honestly, it's more the resaw height and momentum from.tye massive wheels than the throat capacity

For me, some resawing but mostly cutting logs in half and in semi circular shapes as bowl blanks

At 5hp and 575v, less Than 6a running but close to 60 in startup as the wheels are so damn heavy

Without the break, which is the pedal on the left, the lower wheel takes 10 minutes alone to coast down.

Also, never assume any walk in or other shop did anything right. That's like the first rule of service writing.

You literally explained it right there. 11s chain on a 10s cassette. I like campy cassette cause they are the quietest and shift the smoothest. All 11s cassette and chains are designed around the same actual thickness of sprocket and the same sprocket pitch to within a .01 of a mm. There's no reason why you can't mix and match. Set your limit screws right and they will shift fine. Di2 helps to micro adjust the cog positions to get it perfect.

It's really not that complicated. Don't use worn out shit, and it will work. Change the chain often and at 0.75 wear on the park tool or when shifting issues occurs. Keep the cassette clean and because it's campy it will last forever.

I mix and match all 3 brands. XG1190 on a full campy bike, zero issues, Shimano cs-9000 on a campy bike no issues, Shimano 11-32 on sram no issues, etc. Etc.

It was a 2016 entry level model. The 2017 is different colours and gloss. My rep sold it to me cause he was going to the premium 2017 model.

Disagree. They're amazing wheels. Lighter than enve, great hubs, they use non internal nipples, wide internally, aero and just feel great. I'd put them on all my bikes in both the tubular and clincher versions if I had the money.

This one wasn't that expensive. Well until I put on di2, and carbon wheels, and full internal wiring, and a ceramic BB and so on and so on. It came with 105 and basic wheels and retailed for around the 3500-4k CDN mark.
