Comments:

I was lucky and found this little Table Saw for sale. It will only take an 8" blade but is very sound. Too bad General didn't make more of these as it is perfect for a small home workshop.

Other than a little surface rust and blade misalignment, it was in very good condition. I just cleaned it up, changed the motor from a GE to an old 3/4 HP Leland, changed the switch from a light switch to a mushroom cap and have temporarily added a light metal Delta table extension that I happened to have on hand. This will be replaced with a cast extension at some point.
