Bot from used equipment dealer. Arm moves providing clear view of work piece. Has accesory shaft at much higher speed than saw arbor. Saw arbor is coupled to main motor shaft by flat belt in crowned pulleys acts as clutch. Guard is cast aluminum, machined; attaches with only one bolt so strongly an steadily that I managed to attach 2 HP variable speed router at guard. Although motor is rated 1 HP only, it is much stonger built and torques much more than universal motors claiming 2 HP. Machine is very simple, reliable, and accurate. Solid-rock construction. Uses 8-1/4" dia blades but depth of cut is deep since saw-arbor is offset down from center-line of motor via flat-belt pulley.
