I purchased this in March of 2023 from a guy in Dublin, TX. It was previously his uncles with no known connection on how he received it. It was, at some point, a part of the General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) machinist area. There an item tag still on it from those days. It's standard practice for them to paint all of their tools this grey color.

There's minimal rust on it but there was a lot of dirt and oil remnants on the saw. It appears the previous owner replaced the tires, belts and the motor.
