Beach Swing Saw
For sale: Near Statesville, NC. Any reasonable offer accepted. Sold on "as is, where is" basis. 20" blade spins freely and coasts; I did not see motor run though I am told it does. About 1/3 of teeth have chips, but blade should cut. Roller bed and frame looks a little rough with rust, but would come back with not that much work: some wire brushing, new wood for fence stop and deck. 6 of 7 rollers spin easily and coast freely. A fun surprise was the classy iron stop and rail set up on the right side. Its calibrated in nice old-timey numbers up to 12? and has adjustable stops that flip out of the way. One is missing the flopping part, but it would be easy to make with one of the others as a pattern. There is a fair amount of rust on the rail and perhaps about 1/3 are pretty hard to see, but I think that it would wire-wheel off to make the numbers clear.

Comments: Bed actually is in better condition than it looks; rust should grind off pretty well. Nice stop system.
