new ( old ) unisaw

[David Christopher]

I got a good deal on a used unisaw ( free ) it had a 3 phase motor on it. I put a 5 horse motor on it a cleaned it up and painted it and the top was ground by quality grinding ( those guys do a very good job) it looks better than a new one.... I forgot to take pictures of the build but here is the finished (almost) product

Beautiful job David.

I have been looking for a old uni or PM 66 to do a restore job on just for fun. So far I haven't had any luck. I won't keep it but it would be fun doing, like the old Harley sportster I am doing right now.

Thats downright purdy!

The saw itself is a major major gloat for the price but I'm curious what the top cost to have it machined?

[Phil Thien]

Looks nice. Quality did a nice job, too, didn't they?

[Carroll Courtney]

Love that blue,saw looks fantastic!!!Carroll

[Cary Falk]

Nice saw. Do you have problems with the miter slots now that the top is ground?

Matt, quality ground the top and cut T slots ( old saws dont have them ) for $200.....when cutting the T slots it made the groves are the same depth

That's a beautiful machine and major gloat, to boot! Congrats on both the great price and a fine restoration.

[Bill Huber]

That is one really nice bit of work...

It does look better then new, it looks almost to good to use.

I always enjoy seeing a quality old machine brought back to LIFE again!

What's the body paint? Baldor Metallic Gray? The trim looks to be '68 Corvette Stingray Blue!
