Comments:
I picked this machine up off of a CL ad in Norfolk. It must have been surplus Navy equipment. It was in pretty good shape overall, no major rust, most of the parts are accounted for. Has a 3 phase 2 hp motor and is now running off a VFD. Cost a whole 250 dollars. Sweet saw, plenty of power, smooth and the variable speed is wonderful.
