Purchased from an architect in seattle who bought it from a now defunct sign company. The tilt mechanism was broken and it needed some TLC. Put some paint on it, added new bearings, adapted some carter guides I got on clearance and used the plans from OWWM to make a new tilt cage/mechanism. I added the belt cover (even though it doesn't go with the WW saw) because it looks cool. Much thanks to Fred for parts, and my brother for scrounging steel and welding.
