I found this on CL for $25 and bought it for the fence. I had always just dismissed the tilt top tables in the past. Once I got this saw I realized that I could not cannibalize this saw for the fence for my Unisaw. This saw not only came with the correct fence for it, it also came with the miter gage, but that was because it was rusted solid to the table. I also found the stand it was on to be quite unique with a counter shaft drive system. The saw also came with a GE 3/4hp RI motor. The PO said it was his fathers and he remembers him using it when he was a kid. He wanted to restore the saw himself but realized that he would probably never get around to that. He was glad to see it go to a good home and helped load it to my van, so it stayed in one piece for the haul. I had to disassemble the top from the saw, and the saw from the stand to unload by myself. I cannot believe how heavy these little things are. So while I do not really need a another table saw, I will be restoring this one and keeping it around for a while.
