Here are a few photos of my Wilson 16" RAS. Aquired this about 2 years ago from a local machinery dealer. It was originally purchased on September 30, 1943 for $627.50 from Burke Miller Mfg Co. in Kansas City MO. I am the 3rd owner. I have all the documentation including the manual and the original bill of sale. I even have a letter to the original buyer signed by Burke Miller. This saw is a monster! Compare to the size of my Delta 12" in the foreground! It has a 3PH/5HP motor and cuts anything with ease. It has no brake and the blade spins for almost 4 minutes after I cut power. Max depth of cut 4-3/8". Weight 700 lbs.
