This is my parts saw. I picked up a less than complete saw a few years back. Kept looking and found a second saw that was less than complete but mostly gave me enough to finish this saw. A few months later picked up another one so there were 3 of these in the corner waiting.

This stand was sitting under a table saw. It came with the casters and 3 cross supports. I have a 2nd one of these stands and a few more cross supports and still didn't have enough clips. Had to make an e-Bay purchase to get those. Anyway, took the stand apart, scuffed the paint and used a satin black Rustoleum. Reassembled the stand. Scuffed and painted the cross supports with a red that I had here, another Rustoleum product. The motor is a GE 1/3 HP. It came with one of the 3 saws. It had a frayed 2 pole (no ground) plug. I replaced it with a plug and wire that was cut from something in the past. Added some lugs and wired it with a ground. The Rousseau switch has been kicking around here for years. Never quite found the right machine to put it on. I have used it as a switched extension cord a couple times. I decided to use it here. The link belt is new and was purchased for this project. The saw is a parts saw. Out of the 3 saws there was one good lower bearing and one good upper bearing from a different saw. That is what is in this saw, so only time will tell if the old bearings will hold up. I put new urethane tires on it. Cleaned the table. I went through the upper and lower guide mechanisms as well as the table tilt/support mechanism. The best pars from the 3 saws went into this. The case got a scuff and paint with a Granite satin paint that was another Rustoleum product.

The miter gauge usually sits on the table saw. Just put it there for the beauty shot. I do have a table saw fence that I plan on cutting down to use here if I can't find an original fence and rail.

Nice little saw.
