Cutler-Hammer Freedom Series IEC starter is salvaged and mounted inside the Rockwell Model 20 bandsaw.

Here the starter is removed from it's original (banged up) enclosure.

Wiring schematic can be found here at Cutler-Hammer's parent company.




Rewired and mounted inside the bandsaw column. This area is normally where the welder (optional) would go.
