Comments:

For a time Foley Manufacturing sold some woodworking machines under their "Foley Power Tools" label. These appear to be re-badged machines manufactured by TomLee (another Minneapolis area manufacturer). There are not many samples of Foley/TomLee machines on the index, so I am included these photos from an old CL listing (sometime in 2012).

This saw looks substantially identical to the TomLee Model 36, which is an 8" saw. I own a TomLee Model 33, which is the 10" version of this saw. Although these have a very simple, almost primitive design (tilt table, raise lower blade by hand), they are a solid build with good mass and a good arbor.

For those who are looking for tell-tale signs to identify a machine, note the face of the miter gauge (which is classic TomLee), and the contours of the saw body.
