THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE, DON'T ASK, AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOUR ITEM "X" FOR IT. THIS IS NOT A SALES FORUM AND I DO NOT HAVE MACHINERY FOR SALE HERE.

I don't know much about this machine, 'cept that it was offered on the local Buffalo, NY, C'list for the very reasonable price of $65.00. The owner didn't need/want it any longer, but could appreciate the quality in it as compared to todays offerings. He mentioned that his father had gotten it in some sort of "deal" while he was the owner of a furniture store in Buffalo/surrounding area. All I rec'd was the basic saw, no stand or motor, no dirty paper, altho' an extra blade was included. Standard blade length is: 71 3/4" also known as 5' 11 3/4". Note that the dimension given on the box beneath the saw is incorrect for blades for this saw. Both wheels are of cast iron. Further discussion on the saw can be seen here: http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=45605
