Description: 8" table saw, 4" Jointer, 10" disk sander
S/N: CB-5479

I am not really a collector of old equipment but picked this combo unit up from a friend for $100.00. This unit had been used at a small town lumberyard in Missouri and at building sites for many years.

This combo unit fit my needs as I have limited space and with one unit I have a Table Saw, Jointer, Sander, plus I mounted a router between the extension wings and built a wood worktop.

After using it for about 5 years I refurbished it. The work I did consisted of tearing it down, repainting, replace all bearings, bushings and re-lubricating. I took the motor to a motor shop and had them check it out replace the bearings and clean it.

I have uploaded a 24 page setup/users/service/parts manual (I dont think this is a complete document). It is currently located at: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1075

I have also uploaded another very informative document about this machine. It is a 16 page comprehensive full color catalog/Sales Brochure currently located at: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=5858 (many thanks to Phil Sudberry for loaning this document to me so that I could scan it).

A black and white version submitted by: Doug Westlind is also located at: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1102

Items I am still looking for:
Any additional documentation or anyone who has parts available for this machine.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or comments about this unit or have parts or additional documents available at jmichaelpz@gmail.com.
