Gotta wonder how much a blade costs for that beast.

To be honest, I'm not sure that's a TC (Timber Cutter). They usually had 36" blades and a chain drive arrangement to move the carriage. But it's still an impressive saw.

Or did I miss something?

Sorry, what I meant was a powered chain drive, and not with a hand crank.

The seller, Wolfe Machinery, (that manufactures the old DeWalt line under the Original Saw brand, and refurbishes old DeWalt saws) would know if that is a timber cutting saw as stated in the Ebay description.

Keep in mind that the larger the wheel/blade, the less leverage the motor can exert, so the lower the risk of the blade trying to self feed.
It'll stall more easily as the blade's diameter increases.

Every tool a person should have a healthy respect for and it is the same for this. I would LOVE to have it except the blades would cost a months pay.

The shipping alone on that monster is $700 to my house.
No thanks. I could drive there & pick it up for that kind of money.
