does that middle part turn? weird!
maybe its a saw that is supposed to be dedicated to coving or something??
Yep! It spins
That's a seriously large cove!
A quick Google search turned up an article in Popular Science for the Norsaw 805 with a brief mention of its big brother, the 1203. Looks like its purpose is to be both a tablesaw and a CMS (by raising the blade into the work).
Very interesting.
I can see a lot of reasons why they aren't around anymore - any else think setup and accuracy were a problem? I bet the blade could get out of parallel quickly and cause some nasty kickback too.
I like the concept though, just probably a tough one to execute well.

Looks like a norsaw...the ultimate builders table saw. Still being made. They are very accurate for what they are and they are designed to be set up outside...yes, outside in the snow and rain.
I am burning wood in my jotul.

There are lots of Norskies out here and they use these saws to prep salted cod for the Lutefisk festival. No, really they do!
That is one odd saw, thanks for sharing the pic and thanks to those that identified it.
"What is this?"
It's scary, that's what it is!
I thought Hallowe'en was over! :cool:
Looks like a bowl maker to me. Probably how you get all those "handmade" cheap painted souvenier bowls from third world countries. (Is there such a thing as a painted bowl for a souvenier....)
