Comments:

just picked this "Boice Crane" table saw up in Verona Wi. PO had this machine for over 30 years. He bought it from a state auction. Came from Madison East High School: Madison, Wisconsin. This saw is in really really nice shape. Front and back fence rails retain almost 100% nickel finish, and all parts are original and are silky smooth. Saw has a 3/4" tilting arbor and came with several extra brand new carbide tipped blades, as well as a dado stack too. Also has the very rare motor mount that allows tilting arbor and motor to operate together. The motor mount has little set screws in tubes to lock spacing from motor to arbor. I wanted a back up saw to my Delta Unisaw, and this is perfect for that. The price was was $45.00 The PO was gracious too hold this for me for a couple of days as he was getting numerous calls from other people. This saw has weight to say the least. The top has a very similar profile to a Unisaw. Cuts like a dream!!!!!!

Has the top extension on Rt. side. Part No. 2515
