Comments:

This saw was auctioned off from The Riverside Brookfield, IL School District. The business manager of the school privately disclosed that the saw did NOT have the sliding table feature that was an option on this model and that the brass tag was damaged, making the serial number unreadable. Not too many of these models have surfaced but without the sliding table and the 3.25 cutting height limit with a 14" blade the saw only brought $761.

Interestingly, Riverside, IL is 52 miles from Crystal Lake, IL, world headquarters for ArnFest.
