I picked this up last week from the BIL. It’s an Atlas model 912 circa 1950. With the exception of the motor wiring, the saw is in great shape and runs real smooth. The table has some pitting from a soda can, the upper wheel was a bit stiff but little oil loosened it right up. I downloaded the owner’s manual and price sheet from the Old woodworking machines website so I’ve got some basic information about it….
Saw was sold without a motor (1/4-1/3 hp suggested)
Weighs about 125lbs
This one includes the Atlas stand and work light
12” wheels with ~6 ˝” cutting capacity
Blade speed ~2048 with a 1750 rpm motor
Suggested retail price $105.00
I’m thinking I should replace the motor with a TEFC type and I welcome your suggestions. The on it runs fine, no funny smell and it doesn’t even get warm but the open design is a bit scary….
Thanks for looking!

BTW this is a freebee!!
