Found this saw on marketplace for only $80. Couldnt pass it up for that. Was very rusty and hadn't been used in a long while. I fully dis-assmbled the machine and within a few weeks had it restored and back working. For its age its runs really well better than I expected. Found out that this model uses a 3/4 arbor which is an odd size with everything being 5/8. started to get concerned couldn't find a blade with a 3/4 arbor hole. I gave up looking and made a special lathe faceplate, mounted a blade and indicated it in. used a dremel and opened it up to 3/4. worked better than I thought. like most of the older machines its built very solid and heavy not like machines today.
