Grandpa bought this saw new and used it for many years. Dad used it too and it eventually came to me. My first thoughts were to use it as a small crosscutting station. Circumstances got me caught between shops for longer than expected. Out of sheer boredom dad and I went to work on it. Dad got blow-out duty.

A nice thing about getting hand-me-downs in my family is that they generally come with everything that was originally in the box . I can't believe that plastic part of the blade guard survived unscathed.

The bearings were a little rough after nearly 70 years of use but, I got them swapped out without much trouble.

I built a small base for it and put it on a mobile platform. This will help since I really have no shop space right now and have to head for the side yard to do much. She cleaned up pretty good.

It is a stout little saw compared to what you usually find in a contractor today. A 2HP motor gives it lots of spunk.

Anyway, I hope this inspires someone to take after that 'fixer-upper' they've had around for a while .
