We have seen a sliding table saw with "Mfg by / Zeifang Mach Co / Fremont Ohio" cast into the base. The saw strongly resembles the very uncommon benchtop 8-inch sliding saw from Crescent Machine Co. The Zeifang version of this saw may have been intended for use as a tile saw.

- From Larry Michaels of the Sandusky County Historical Society: "The machine shop still stands at 933 Napoleon Street. Fred Zeifang bought the building from William Golden who started the business in 1909. Zeifang ran his company for 45 years, until his death in 1967. He lived above the shop. Albert Mader bought it then, and today it's called Line Tool & Die. There is another old building to the left that is also part of the business. Since you called our attention to the Zeifang Shop, I've talked with several people who remember it."
