Just picked this up from Salem Wisconsin. just west of Kenosha. Seller was down sizing. PO was very nice, he stated that he had gotten it from a friends dad along time ago. That is all he told me. He had a garage full of equipment. Machine runs very very well, although I have not run wood through it. Will be selling this in the near future. Interestingly, both beds are spring loaded which keeps them in-line with actual table. Will need further study. Fence is super easy to adjust. Quick adjusting fence. It is heavy, but surprisingly efficiently made. Less is more. Seems all there, accept for the switch. Made in Chicago.

Just finished the once over. This is a very robust machine. Very pleasing to use, cuts very well, i really like the adjustments.
