This is my first post but I have been following this thread with great interest since I am also involved in the restoration of a 1948 Unisaw at the present time. My saw was used in the carpenter shop of the cement plant that I have been employed at for the past 28 years. The manufacturing part of the plant was closed and torn down 2 years ago. The carpenter shop was located in the small shipping section which survived, otherwise this saw would have been cut up and destroyed with all of the rest of the equipment. I was given this Unisaw, 2 large Dewalt Radial Arm Saws, and a very old 26" Silver (Crescent) Bandsaw. At the present time this presents somewhat of a dilemma because of the limited space in my shop. So... I thought I would just add a photo of my saw also...
