This is a 1950's Sears Craftsman 9" bench saw, made by King-Seeley, 103.22180. Attached to the right-hand side is the optional 4" jointer, 103.21840. The motor shaft protrudes from both sides of the motor and has pulleys at each end. Because the pulley that runs the jointer comes off the back end of the motor, the jointer cutter head turns counterclockwise, so this is a left-handed jointer, with the infeed table on the left. Not being a lefty, and already owning a jointer, I don't use it and have removed the belt and cutter head. It makes a nice cast iron extension, though.

There was no blade guard when I got this at a garage sale, and Sears no longer supplies parts, so I made my own, visible in the side view photo. I replaced the original cast pulleys with machined pulleys and a link belt, it cuts smoothly and passes the nickel test with ease.
