Comments:

I purchased this saw in March, 2009, in south central Vermont. I believe the previous owner bought this machine and four others from a north central New Hampshire mill in the 1970's. The machine has been modified from flat belt drive to motor drive and appears to be in usable condition. It exhibits a number of features common to other late 19th century table saws--saw lifting mechanism, no tilt arbor or tilting table but a tilting rip fence--and a number of unique features such as the half round cast iron post construction and sliding table inserts.
