Purchased at an estate sale in very good condition with a 8' oak butcher block style table set up for cross cutting only. Have cleaned and adjusted, built a new Mr. Sawdust style table (with steel re-enforcing bars), replaced the blade with a new Forrest WW1 TCG blade bored to fit my 1" arbor. Power supplied by a rotary style phase converter.

This machine originally used tapered spacers as wedges to hold the fence between the main front table and fixed back table (no screw clamps at the back). I added front mounted cam clamps - more convenient than wedges or rear mounted screw clamps. The two spacers allow for 3 different fence positions with an additional fence screwed to the back of the fixed rear table (for ripping).

In addition to cross cutting and dado operations, I hope to use this machine for molding work - particularly curved work.
