I think this is my most unusual OWWM. It is a rotating table saw. According to the patent it was designed to work in tight places. I just can not imagine using this saw in a tight place with a 8 HP gasoline engine. This machine was not very heavy duty. The whole top is held on by one 3/8 bolt.Frame is mostly pipe.
My uncle bought the machine around 1956 out of a mail order catalogue. He bought it just for the Wisconsin engine mounted on it. I am guessing it was some kind of surplus catalogue. When he got it he took the engine off and put it on a cement mixer and threw the frame on a scrap pile. Years later my cousin brought it home to use as some kind of stand. He knew I was interested in OWWM so gave it to me. Here is a link to the patent. I am looking for a 8 HP WISCONSIN AEN gas engine to replace original engine.
