This is the same machine listed on the American Artifacts website: http://www.americanartifacts.com/smma/advert/aw125.htm

Exact age is not known. Anyone with any information about the Superior Tools Co. or this machine in particular (or other examples of the same) is invited to send me a message.

From the price tag on the toggle switch showing Uhler & Kline Harware Co., this machine appears to have been in the Lebanon PA area at one time, then at some point went to MD (American Artifacts), MA, and now is in my shop in western WI. We are not sure that it is made by the same Canadian Superior Tools company on this page, but it was recommended by the site historian to list it here until such time as it might be further identified.

Everything on this machine is cast iron, with the exception of the upper wheel and wheel guards, which are aluminum. This includes the frame, lower wheel, both main and auxiliary tables, the blade guards, and the base. I hope to restore this machine to working condition.
