Found on Cregs List, I had never heard of Tomlee, it looked like a cross between an Atlas/Craftsman 11 3/4” and a Shopmaster 12”. The construction is very similar. I’ll see if parts interchange when I start its restoration.

Comments: It’s a carbon copy of the Shopmaster, it even has the 3 mounting holes for the cool Shopmaster badge and green paint underneath the brown. One more clue, the head casting is aluminium.
