Bought this back in 1980, used from a farmer. The past 3 years it has been in a storage container next to my shop. I have a Northfield 12" that I use now. I took this out of storage the other day to knotch out some table legs for hanger bolts. The set up on his is quicker than the Northfeild. This has been a great and faithful machine for that $500.00 investment while I had just started working as an apprentice cabinetmaker and still helping in my Fathers counter top shop. It was only missing the original back belt guard door I made one out of wood. single phase 110 or 220 machine I have it wired 220. Original paint. The farmer bought this from State Saw & Machinery Co, Baltimore no longer in business.
I bought my first table saw there in 1982 a Powermatic 66 on a hand shake and no credit app with 60 days to pay. When is the last time that has happened!
