I acquired this saw in Woodbury,NJ.I have been looking for one of these saws for the last 5 years.I liked the size compared to the larger Madisons and it is an American Wood
Working Machinery Co.machine.The saw is powered by a 15 H.P.,220 volt,3 phase,direct drive motor.It weighs in at 3800 lbs.and take up 6'5" by 4'10" of floor space.The feed works consists of an endless chain in the table and pressure rolls in the upper feed
works.The saw was missing a counter pulley and a throat plate which i have already replaced.Everything else on the saw works very well.I plan on cleaning and repainting the saw.
