Comments:

Since there was not an entry for a model 1500 B-C table saw I thought I would add one from a couple of years ago. It appears to be a B-C 1500 tilting arbor table saw from the 1935 General Catalog. It has a massive 1 HP RI GE motor and AB switch. Original .75" diameter shaft. Included were the arbor bushings to locate the blade and the original dado blades and chippers. No blade tilting hardware, but when unlocked the assembly easily tilts. No mortising attachment hardware. PO said it came from a factory. It looks to have originally had a jointer with it. The motor mounting system has been changed from the sliding pulley to a shop-built rolling motor.

Comments: Massive GE motor and outfeed roller. The motor is mounted on a frame with rollers allowing it to move latterally when the blade is tilted.
