Dewalt Dw788

Hi Mort

The key word for professional is " 3 Phase " most have 3 Phase motors

and can't be used in a home shop, the norm.
Some of the smaller ones have a 220 volt 1 (single) phase motor.
Most schools did this to keep the tool in the school and to use less power.

Mort,,just a note**,It's no big deal to switch out the motor with a (single) phase motor 120 volt, 1HP or a 2HP one,that you can get new for about 50.oo bucks or a good used one from the flea market for about 20.oo bucks.

Also the top of the blade was on a plunger so that the saw cut was straight up and down. The ones I see in the stores today move the blade on an arc.

I know some folks who swear by their RBI Hawk machines.

I know RBI went out of business but I believe a company in Kansas is taking over their production.
