Here's some pictures ot the American No. 7 1/2 combination saw and dado machine.This came out of the Pattern Shop in Penn.Its the only machine that I will keep for my self
to use.It came complete with all its fences,counter shaft,pullies and belts.The blade rides on ball bearings that then ride on a track.When you push down on the foot pedal
the blade comes on a straight plane to the front of the table.The blade doesn't lower below the top of the table.It will adjust up to 4" thick and will cut through a 1"board
20" wide in one pass.The fences can be adjusted from 0 to 45 degrees for miter work.The
right hand table is pivoted to the frame and can be moved for bevel cutting.
