This has been my quest machine for a long time. It was advertised at a very low price by a CT patternmaker who was selling machines for the widow of his recently deceased buddy. The saw had been sitting where it was exposed to people robbing parts, and there were several vital things missing, like the arbor nut and flange, not to mention the rip fence and miter gauge. I bought it anyway, because knowing the incredible resource of owwm I had to draw on, I was confident that the missing parts could be found. Sure enough, before I had owned the saw 24 hours, I had a line on virtually everything. The small disappointment came when I found out that it had a single voltage 440V motor. The very low price suddenly doubled when I realized I would need a transformer to run it. It is still a very good deal. The saw is clean and hasn't been abused.
