Comments:
I purchased this machine in Washington DC. The PO had done a complete overhaul, but must have missed the cracked upper guide. I have ordered a replacement. The saw is 1hp 3 phase. I will run it with a VFD. The seller bought the saw on CL and knew nothing of its history. The saw was sold by Root of Philadelphia.
