This was my father's table saw. I grew up using it. Not certain when he bought it, but had to be early 1950"s or late 1940"s. In later years, he did not use it because switch needed replacing. After his passing, I took it for memories. Now like to restore it for small stock cutting. Has a Westinghouse 1/4 hp motor that I think is original. Anxious now to restore it.

7/6/2011 - Know now that it is not original motor. Seen some available and might try to get one eventually. Have found a couple missing parts. Starting now to actually restore to original condition and appearance. Will put up new picts when complete.

10/8/2015 - retired now and have started restoration of this saw. Got it all torn apart and nearly ready for painting. Doubt I will use it for sawing, but rather put sanding disk on it. I have a large Unisaw for all the real sawing needs, plus a Ryobi BT-3000 for dados.
