I bought this off Craigslist 5 years ago. 20", 3hp single phase, no miter slot, Heavy 900 or so lbs! Guides are different from other Davis and Wells I have seen. Uses hardened steel guide blocks and a thrust bearing. The upper guide is mounted to the cast iron blade guard.not the thick steel guide bar like the more common ones.
I added a magnetic fence and Vevor casters.
