Comments:

Bought the GA (on the Dewalt stand) from the widow of a deceased cabinet maker. It had been sitting in the same place in the shop since 1960. It is in very good condition. I did not use the original wedge clamp system in back of the fence....I rigged four(4) 5/16" bolts with T-nuts through the back most board of the table with T-knobs to turn the bolts. The bolt heads press another board (which replaces the wedge boards) into the back of the fence which is then tight against the back of the table.....works well for me.

The GP was purchased from a local woodworker/metalworker who did some restoration on the saw. I acquired the missing parts, such as the guard, and replaced the rails. The saw is in good condition and cuts great. The GP has a cast iron base mounted on a wood base with levelers.

I set up the saws to share a common table and not take up so much shop space. I suppose it's a bit over kill for my small operation to have 2 big saws......but it is a pretty good arrangement.

I also posted the saws separately here on OWWM with more detailed information.
