I picked this up for $20 down the street from my house in California. It came with a Wagner Electric motor. Looks to be missing the arbor. From some helpful members on the forums it seems to be from the "old hot metal type composing rooms", a printer's saw. Something about trimming linotype slugs - "Slug Sawing Device", patent 1,662,638.
