A few single phase motors don't use a capacitor but they are for low torque loads especially fans where the load is a function of speed.
On a saw, there is the load of the belt drive to overcome during starting and I can't think of a belt driven machine I've come across (single phase) where a capacitor start motor is not essential.
Sorry I'm not familiar with strartrite saw model numbers. What max size blades go in a 145/165?
