Comments:

Was sold at auction from an old local window & sash company that closed down. Got it from a fellow that picked up a bunch of their equipment to resell to make $$.

Comments: Post restoration. Got it as close to original as possible but the table is thinner than original. I wanted resaw height - got 8 3/4" out of it! The heavy lower wheel & resaw height make this great for resawing musical instrument stock.

Comments: Easy to tell that this has the serial number of 2126. The right side shows paint under the main table. It is hard to make out what it says above the serial number - looks like OV3?

Comments: Here are the guides - as close to original as I can tell except I have inserted a ball bearing into rear of the top guide. It was an easy fit. True Lignum used on these!

Comments: These are the adjustments for the upper wheel/ blade alignment. Simple but effective, especially after crowning the tires. Used updated tire material for longevity
