This was my first OWWM of note. I found this in a area newspaper add. Yes, that long ago. Its 3 phase, direct drive.
I actually loaded it in my van by myself. I separated the base and main saw. Mine also has had the top cast wheel cover repaired.
I don't know if any of the other saws on this site have this feature, but my saw table has the cast iron webbing with the sheetmetal
top. not the cool part yet. the webbing is 2 pieces, a center round casting connected to the trunions, and an outer square casting that can rotate a few degrees cw/ccw to square the table with the blade drift.
The drive motor has a small fiber gear that drives a big cast gear behind the lower wheel.
As with all these saws, it comes with the not so great steel wheels. I have the original blade guides, though they are not on the saw in the pic's. My saw didn't have the lower wheel cover with it.
