Notes: |
Previous owner bought at auction in the Pacific NW of the US in early 80s by the seller's father in law. PO was in the timber industry, living in Yamhill, OR. The family was selling the house/land and asked if I'd be interested in an old table saw that probably needed a little TLC before it was functional. He didn't know much about the maker, just that it was big and heavy. He sent me a picture of the badge and I got to work researching Poitras. Not a lot of those on the west coast, but I tapped into a community of Canadians on OWWM.org that said these were wonderful saws, urging me to get it.
It took a forklift to load, and every bit of six men to unload into my garage.
Seller said this was three phase running through a converter, turning it to single phase. I think it's probably a single phase motor and the converter is actually just a european starter. Badge states Single Phase 3HP.
Blade can be 12" or 14" with a 1" arbor.
Table still slides smoothly, but with some attention will be like new. |
