Quote:Northfield #1table saw. 5 HP, 3 phase, 16” blade. 3.5” doc, 4.5” with 18” blade. Includes Beismeyer fence with 60” crosscut capability. Also includes auxiliary sliding table. 1200 # of cast iron. Saw is only one of 355 produced. It does have a vintage aspect as it was made in 1946. It can be seen under power. Table was recently reground flat. Table tilts for angular cuts. It also goes up and down for blade height. A piece of history ready to go.

Wow, can you imagine trying to tilt that table??? But it really does look neat.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

It is neat but a tilting table saw does not have a lot of value.  They are difficult to make cuts unless the table is flat.   In this case, the sliding table attachment would have to be removed every time you wanted to make a bevel cut.  I have seen other other old tilting top table saws at auctions and no one really bids on them.

AquaticJim: agree with what you said and I knew of the "limitations" before hand. But to have that in my shop we call for some serious "braggin' rights"....

It would take a big shop to use it.   I am just wondering if small 1/4 hp motors can be installed to raise up the table and other parts which would make it a lot easier to use.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

"Looking?"

I can see that thing from clear up here.

I think you could even see if from outer space.
