Comments:
This heavy piece of arn was bought from another OWWM member in April 2007. The saw is in great shape and just needs new thrust bearings and a refurb. The sale included a new 1hp motor. The saw is missing the original rip fence, but the guide bars are in place and great shape so a new fence can be fabricated to match the original one. My plans are to first get the saw running 100% and a mobile base welded up so it can be moved around. Once these are done the saw will be torn down for a full refurb & paint. Please feel free to e-mail with any questions about this saw and keep an eye oput for updates.

Here is my web page dedicated to the refurb:
