You dont see to many of this type around,that is why I bid and won this machine at a school auction.
The Brodhead Garrett J-line were mostly sold to schools,very basic machines but built well to handle the everyday abuse of students.This is my second BG machine the other is a J-170 lathe that I love.This machine came pretty much plug and play,installed a new plug, table was very rusty and begining to pit,WD40, wet and dry paper with a coat of wax took care of that.The motor look to be orginal,a Dayton 1/2 hp single phase.What I like about this saw is the varible speed control by turning the handle, it adjusts(slides on a track)
the motor mount to decrease or tighten the belt for the speed.The saw has a 26'' cutting capacity,over all the saw is well built. I will donate this scrollsaw to my HS Woodshop program. In the base stand ,I found in a box the dirty paper and a bunch of parts for the saw.
