Comments:

I picked up this unusual Table Saw at Mare I. Naval Yard just north of San Francisco a few years ago, for Dave Foley, of Vernon, Ca. The sliding table is located to the right of the saw blade instead of the left, and the 10 h.p. direct drive arbor tilts to the left. About a year later while shopping around eBay I found the very unusual miter gauge seen in photo 2. I am convinced this gauge was manufactured for this particular saw by Fay & Egan. The base measures 52"x36". The top 42"x61". Sliding Table 42"x35". It's a Model 530, s/n 138091. Sandy Adelson
