Comments:
I bought this from an older gentleman in Port Orchard, WA (on the Olympic Peninsula). He used it many years earlier to build a large wooden boat. It's painted in Rustoleum dark bronze and silver. The saw has a few modifications: First, I welded a stand out of 1/4" x 3" steel angle and Footmaster ratcheting casters. The casters a are a bit of an overkill but are very well made and when down on the pads offers a very stable platform. Second, I modified the pulley/belt guard the PO made so it would fit over the motor, which is not original and is 3 hp, 220v. Lastly, I installed pre-crowned urethane tires and Carter guides (until I can get replacements for the original thrust bearings).
