looks to be 14 inch as a guess. All cast iron base. Is that a cast iron work light cast into the upper guard? Not much blade hole in the table. Only $225

I would make room for that in a heartbeat if it were local to me!

Metal cutting?

Boice Crane had slotted guards kind of like that.

Regardless of what it is...it's not hard to look at! That's a work of art.

Metal cutting BS maybe due to double reduction pullys. Really nice looking BS, glad I already have three diff BS. Great price! Randy

I wonder if those open pulleys in the back are factory or not. With the nice guards on the cutting wheels seems unlikely those rear pulleys would be so exposed. Of course there may be a guard that got lost.
Think it is metal only or can it be shifted to wood speeds.

I was wondering too if there's a dual pulley on the motor so it can be run direct.

My Dad has something like that in his garage. I'd forgotten about it, looked at it, 'Oh, its a ...' already forgot. Should have pulled the phone out of my pocket.

Dual pulley system as well, and I didn't think to look if it was 2 speed. But it might make its way here someday instead of a new 14" whatever.

The hub of the upper pulley on the back of the base is very large. May have some sort of shift or clutch there.

Ideally, you pull the 2nd stage belt off and switch the 1st stage to direct drive. Or vise-versa. I don't see it looking like the spacing working out that way. But belts are cheap...
