Found at a yard sale recently. Original cut-off wheel was thin 4" diameter, with 1/2" square to fit the arbor. I could not find any cut-off wheels to fit, so I notched out a 1/2" square hole in a standard abrasive cut-off wheel with a circular hole. Machine quality seems good, tried a few pieces of 1/2" copper tubing. Motor say 115 volts and 5 amps. The base has the cast "Con-O-Saw", where the "O" is a globe symbol. Since all my Internet searches could not find another one of these, it may be a rare machine.
