This saw was sold on e-bay in the spring of 2003. This is what the seller listed:

Here is a chance to get the Unisaw?s big brother for less than the price of a Unisaw. It also has more depth of cut than the Delta RT40. I bought this when I got tired of struggling with plywood on a Unisaw, trying to rip thick oak (with a 5/8 arbor) or just standing on it and having it tip over. This one is designed to cut all day. Has mass that the Unisaw does not. You can stand on it without it tipping over. It uses a standard motor not a special frame, so you can get a new motor cheap on eBay if you want. I have one with a 10 HP motor which I paid $10 that I run with a static phase converter built from plans bought for $5 on eBay. This saw is an older one with the cast aluminum motor cover and the Cresent name on it (along with Delta and a Rockwell model number tag.) Judging by the serial number, it is an early model, which might make it a collector?s item. The saw has interchangeable arbors. It comes with the standard arbor. 2" long x 1" dia and 5/8" dia x2" dado arbors are being sold for it here on eBay. With some care you can get a 16" blade on it and cut about 6" thick. I am selling it with a Grizzly miter gage with a long bar. I bought it with a sliding table and without a miter gage. If you are interested in the sliding table, we can talk. The saw was taken from service two weeks ago. It is presently in pieces to allow it to go through a 32" door and for me to handle it by myself. If you pick it up, we could load it into a truck or van. If it is to be shipped I can put it back together, put on a pallet and have it forklifted on to a truck, but I will charge you $170 to do it. I am in a commercial neighborhood. So at least you will save the liftgate and residential charges. This saw sold new for $975 in 1957 which is close to $6000 in today?s dollars. The second picture shows the saw with the table removed and a 10 HP motor, which does not come with the saw. Table size: 38"x48" Arbor size: 1" Blade dia: 12-14" Motor: 5HP three phase TEFC, with magnetic starter and toe stop Power transmission: quad vee belt Depth of cut @90: 5 1/8 with 14" blade Depth of cut @45 2 7/8 with 12" blade Cabinet size 26.5"x30" Rip to right of blade: 30" Miter gage slot width 1" Weight: 1000 lbs. Model 34-350 Rockwell Ser. No. 988B
