Vintage Monarch Uni-Point Multi-Function Saw Station - $2,500
This is an extremely rare industrial tool. Its primary purpose is as a radial arm saw. However, the unit can be adjusted to make rip cuts, beveled cuts, resawing, dado, plus many other configurations. I have completely gone thru this machine top to bottom. It works perfectly. Extremely heavy duty and versatile. It has a brand new custom made rock maple top measuring 65.5" by 25.5' by 1.5" thick. It also has a brand new 16" high quality carbide tipped blade. 24+ inch crosscut capacity by 5.5" thickness. Motor is direct drive 5hp 3ph 20amp.

I winder if that is the forerunner of the Northfield Uni-Point (my dream RAS). A lot of similarities between the 2.

I have one similar to this RAS. it is a Comet radial arm saw 16" blade 5 hp built onto a trailer. It was built back in the 1950's. I used it to build the house I'm living in, have not used it for 6 years.

Pretty much the same thing but a later version of the original design.
