I bought this off an ad on Craigs List. The guy I bought it from said he had bought it from someone who had bought it at a school auction. I get the feeling these were used a lot in school wood shops. Its built like a tank. The manual that came with it has hand written in the corner on the front cover 11/17/71, but the back page of the same manual has printed may 1979. The full circle story is it was originally bought at barbo machinery, where I bought my new Powermatic table saw.
