Importing a table saw from the US

[BobL]

Sorry maybe I misled you, no i didnt have to change the motor. The saw is made to run on either 110v or 220v all I had to do is switch over some connections in the motor junction box. The instructions on exactly how to do this are in the manual and it only took 5 minutes.

The other $575 was for freight etc.

That's very good news about the motor.
However it still doesn't address the issue about the 60 to 50 Hz.

To be honest I really don't think its an issue at all. I've been using the saw all day today and I love it. Its plenty powerful enough and today I had it cutting through 90x45 Jarrah like a hot knife through butter. Maybe if I were able to see or feel the difference a slightly faster RPM would make I would be better able to comment but right now I'm well pleased.
