My father purchased this saw in pretty rough shape and we rebuilt it together.

We put new bearings in the motor and on the arbor. Put a new arbor on it and had a retired machinist friend of my fathers turn a new elevation shaft for it. The elevation shaft was wallowed and the hole it went through was wallowed out. The new shaft was drilled and slotted so the elevation handle break would work like the original. I drilled out the hole that supports the shaft, added an oil bronze bearing and a Zirc so the new shaft won't have the same issue as the original.

Not shown is the 37" right sheet metal wing and the 52" industrial Biesemeyer fence it came with.
