I got these pictures off of eBay. According to the catalog it is a 30" dual cutting band saw. It cut both on the up side and the downside of the blade. It had a special vise to hold the parts on the up cut. It had 4 speed transmission. The model shown had a sliding table gravity feed system. Even though it is a 30" band saw the tables could be swiveled about 15 degrees and then pieces longer than 30" could be cut, the blade guides moved with the table to keep everything in alignment. If you notice the blade is in the center of the vise which can be rotated for angle cuts. The front part of the vises are missing, they were a lever locking type. See my photos of my JM20 Laidlaw.
