I picked this up from a machine shop that was using it for cutting aluminum. It was missing the lower wheel guard and the knobs. They were also running it without tires.

I tore it all down, gave it a thorough cleaning, primed and repainted. I found a lower wheel cover on EBay and knobs from a fellow OWWM'er. I modified a fence from a Delta Homecraft table saw to fit. I also put on new tires from a source recommended by a fellow OWWM'er using the process defined by yet another OWWM'er.

The motor was an old cast iron Craftsman and needed to be rewired. I also added a decent old switch salvaged from another project and a new belt.
