Comments:

This table saw was made by Marcus Pollak in Royersford, PA. It's model 216, showing patent number 2471773 (for the floating motor mount). This saw was acquired by my father around 1958, as a used machine. He used it until about 1976 and then stored it until I took ownership in 1980. At that time I repainted it, including detailing the red letters just like the original. The original had only those in red which you now see in red. I used it until 2004 when I bought a replacement saw. It still works as well as ever, though the main bushing has some wear, affecting high precision cuts.
