Comments:

Flat-belt driven table saw purchased for $100 from person who removed it from a printing company. Other than superficial cleaning, no restoration was done. Points of interest: large single-piece table; original rip fence and miter gauge; brass blade insert; wheel and worm gear top right raises table for blade height (arbor is fixed); foot pedal bottom right controls on-off switch to motor mounted in rear -- foot pedal looks original but it is certainly possible that saw was driven by belt from drive shaft; table can be raised about 75 degrees to work on internal mechanisms and is held up by built in support like on an automobile hood; has one-inch arbor with babbit bearings; built in arbor lock wrench.
