This vintage machine is currently listed for sale online ( as of Sept 2014 ) an hour or so NW of Toronto. * I do not own this machine or know the owner * Since there are few listings recorded in this database for this manufacturer and this unit is a 3-way combo machine ( jig saw / drill press / table saw ) I chose to register it here.

The owner describes the machine in the ad as having a cast iron table that is 42" by 52 " with 3 separate 220 v motors. Asking price = $ 250

* From some online research I've found the following additional details on a similar model ( not certain this unit as depicted will match or not );

Drill Specs:

Drill Chuck Capacity:1/2"Drill Throat Capacity:50" Drill Speeds: 2 Drill Motor: 1/2 HP (1720 RAM)

Circular Saw Specs:

Table Size:

F to B: 52 1/2" L to R: 42 1/2" Height from Floor: 39 1/4" Weight (Approx.): 1,500 LBS

I am not sure what all this unit comes with but I did see references online to the following additional features on similar units;

Foot control
