Bought from Doug Broberg in 2010. This is a fairly early machine because it has a sliding table instead of a rolling one, and the cutoff saw position is set by moving two collars on the saw shaft which straddle the inboard bearing. It had been modified with a countershaft running the length of the machine so it could have a drive pulley on each end. I cut this off on the table end (and removed the pulley from the head end), added a two belt sheave next to the shaft hanger, and mounted a 5 hp 3ph motor in the body. I mounted the pushbutton station on the front of the sliding table so that it can be turned on and off without reaching awkwardly. It came with the cope countershaft and both cope heads, though I have not yet mounted the countershaft or run the cope heads.

Comments: Moter mounted in the body. Cord goes over the side to keep it out of the way of the belts.
