This is from my Grandfather's (original owner) cabinet shop on Rainier Ave. in Seattle WA.

This saw runs very very smooth..... problem is I can only cut up to about 1 1/2 inch thick. Because of the limitations I pulled it out of the 60 year old cutting station and replaced it with a new DeWalt miter saw. The workstation was rigged with a sawdust drawer behind a door under the saw. I didn't use this saw for a long time and after I moved I went looking for a key to start it but it was lost. I replaced the key switch with a toggle switch, problem solved.
I've been setting up a shop at my new house and if I have room I may just find a place to set this up for simple cross cuts.
