This "Onan Safty Saw" belongs to Jeremy Mitchell. The saw has a handle that pulls the blade through the stock. It is similar in concept - but predates - the Henniker sliding-arbor tablesaw. There are pictures of the Henniker saw elsewhere in the Photo Index.

Where the Henniker has the blade-advancing handle below the table, the Onan Safty Saw has the handle mounted on the splitter above the blade
