i have had this for several years.....i thought i had posted it here....a J.D.Wallace portable table saw. with a great stand and extension table...I found this in Michigan. Came out of a historic homes basement....probably there from its original purchaser. Saw runs very well and is a gear driven saw. Look at the front of the saw stand where the user lifted his foot and rested it while they cut......has the sliding quadrant that is really nice.....interestingly has a 1/2" arbor.....great adjusting fence and a sheet metal top over a cast frame.....Castings are great.....((((And is patent pending, making it an early example))))J.D.Wallace of Chicago did there own unique machines that are built over the top....
