It would be cool to have around and show off. its an old Mall...shine it up use it a few times...maybe have it powdercoated back to original for 40-50 bucks and then resell for a couple hundred.

Yes it would.

I worked for a older man when I was young, rewinding ele. motors
We would gage the wires count the windings, put new insulting paper
the new wire, the cotton shoe string like stuff around the loops at each
end of the motor, tie the ends of the wires together, put a steel ball-bearning
in where the armature goes, put ele to it, if the ball wet round and round
the inside, you new you had done it right. Would then take it dip it in
this 55 gal of goo, let drain off some, put in the oven let bake. And you
had a new ele. motor. He was 4' 2" tall and all his work benches was
made for his height, it killed my back even as a young man, But he
really knew his ele motors.

I'm going to be using
the Oak for studs and floor joist, for some small buildings, sheds
and lean-to's. The width of the cuts will be less than 6".
The 200T has more than enough power to do the job, but
I think it would burn it up. I was thinking about buying a electric saw
for this

I have an 36" Alaskan and a 385xp for milling big stuff. I do think electric saw would be ideal for this task... A used shop bandsaw with a 1HP - 2HP induction motor would be perfect.

You'll have a much less wasted material due to the smaller kerf and you won't need to worry about wearing out the motor, sprockets, or oiler.
