    Precision table saw gloat

    This precision model makers table saw is very rare, and has the power take off attachment for buffing or horizontal boring, when the chuck is added. I was very fortunate to find it, and it is a pleasure to use, except for cutting sheets of plywood, where it is a bit dicey.

    I got it for next to nothing, from a seller unaware of it's value. Could this be the tool that gets me the coveted 'you suck'??

    YOU SUCK! There is so much suckage going on I dunno what to say. I think that is the model that has the flesh sensing accelerator feature, it wasn't recieved well and they removed it for the following model year. On a better note this is the year they introduced the beefed up mounting bracket, previously you used a piece of Juicy Fruit to secure the base to the workbench. All in all an excellent find, depending on the price you were paid to take it.
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    You are supposed to wear your kevlar safety glasses when viewing it, even pictures.

    Actually,

    I've had it so long, I don't remember where I got it. Gives me chills just thinking that someone probably tried to use it. Yes, that is the blade that came with it.

    Seriously, does anyone know who and when this was manufactured, and more important....Why on earth would a company produce something like this?? Hmmm, it is the old Powermatic green.

    Maybe I should try to put it on the OWWM site to see if anyone knows.

    What fence? Didn't you know? You're supposed to freehand with it. Don't worry about kickback. In case of workpiece binding, the saw, along the table flies AWAY from you. Best safety feature I've ever seen!

    What's even more scary is judging from the wear on the blade, it looks like it has actually gotten some use!
