Comments:

I bought this from a furniture shop that was downsizing. So is was still in use, although they used it exclusively for ripping. They had added a fence, but also kept the original micro-adjusting fence, which is one of the things that makes the machine great. I have done very little work to it. The one problem, is that the arbor or the arbor plate, or something is slightly off, giving a 14" blade an approx. 1/32" wobble. It kind of just makes a larger kerf. I was able to sand and clean the arbor plate and that did help some. It does not apear to be the arbor itself. This appears to be straight.
It has the 5 hp motor - plently strong. I only have 14" blades right now - but those cut up to almost 3" deep.

Comments: The Tannewitz - you can see the added fence bar at the front. Everything now works very smoothly
