In June of 2017 purchased this saw from a cabinet shop in Pennsylvania that was closed for $375.00. Saw contained the cast iron extension top. The saw had a 3HP 3Phase motor. The owner had a 3HP 1 Phase motor for sale for an additional $150 which I purchased. The saw came with numerous rip, crosscut blades and a 10inch dado set. It also had the original miter gauge, guard, table insert and dado insert. The cabinet shop was the original owner of the saw. It was purchased from Richard T. Byrnes in West Chester, Pa. in 1963. Mr. Byrnes was the founding member of the Woodworkers Machinery Importers Association. Under his leadership, he founded the International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta, Georgia.

The first picture is the saw in the cabinet shop. The subsequent pictures are in my garage.
