Unknown Asian Tablesaw

[Andrew Hughes]

I'm looking at this Vintage Tablesaw its very well built much nicer then the one I have now.
I don't have a pic of the whole saw yet.
But here's the makers badge what do you think is it Chineese or Japanese?

[Bill Dufour]

Japanese

Thanks for the reply Bill.
Its looking like I won't be owning a Vinatge Table saw from Japan.
The motor is 480 3ph.
But here's more pics of the front and sides.

Interesting saw. Looks beefy. I don't see any tilt feature.

[Bill Adamsen]

Same question ... tilt. I always look to see if there are any other front tilt machines like the Greenlee, Wadkin or Robinson. Could it be foot adjust?

[Bruce Page]

I'm curious about the two pedals. It looks like a serious tablesaw.

[Andrew Hughes]

No tilt it's just a ripper and cross cut it had both miter gages. One pedal is to lock the blade the other is a blade break.Very simalar to a bandsaw just rubs on over sized arbor shaft.
It also has a high and low speed pulleys on the motor.

We see little Japanese machinery here but they made some great woodworking machinery. The lack of tilt is a bigger deal than the voltage. Transformers are cheap. Dave

Wait a minute I just thought of something. A tablesaw David doesn't have now I really want it :p

Probably easy enough to switch out the motor for a voltage you like. May need to switch jumpers on the control transformer. It is probably a European standard motor size? I do not think Japan has their own motor standards.
