Comments:

This saw was given to me with a couple of other very rusted up machines that had been stored in a warehouse area that had leaky pipes. The original stand and motor were thrown together and really weren't worth saving. The wiring was a joke. I restored this machine mechanically by all new bearings, tires, replaced the bronze guides with HSS ones, and balanced the drive pulley. I put it on a stand and installed a 1/2 HP motor. This is as heavily built 12 inch saw as I know of. The lower bearings and the upper bearings are the same size as the 14" Delta (top bearings are 5/8 bore instead of 15 mm.) Blade backup bearings are 202 size instead of the 200's used on a Delta. Once restored, it should make a very durable machine. I gave it to my son for his shop.

Comments: This is before I started doing work. I had determined that this saw was clearly worth the work required to put it back into working order. Note the two-pronged plug.
