I picked one up for $300 a few blocks from my house. Skizzo sent me the CL ad and I took advantage of it but the saw was in rough shape compared to the one here. 7.5 hp not so house friendly for most

If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.

Glad to hear you made it home. Probably made the ride home a bit smoother I know my truck has a nicer ride with a bit of weight in it

I am thinking full refurb .....Bearings ..belts ..Paint . Probably won't touch motor ...just paint . Its a louis Alllis Pacemaker 3 hp ...bulletproof . Did not know they offered a 3 hp ... Or maybe it is a replacement . No time to dig right now . got a plug and wire for it ... Will have to figure out whether it was running 460 or 230 . My understanding is two wire to lL1 , L2 , L3 is 460 ... One wire is 230 . Can't wait to dig into it .

I remember that one. Did you ever fill in that gap next to the router table or get the fence made?

If you are going to sell that one you must have at least a Wadkin PK or Altendorf F45 in your workshop aye?
I am not a fan of American cabinet saws but that one looks like it would be pretty much equal to a good European cabinet saw. Nor quite the machine a woodworker should sell unless he has something even better.

Yeah, long time ago. Used a piece of oak to fill in, made a fence out of some 80/20 and some benchdog pieces. Don't know if I have a current picture posted somewhere that I can link to, this site has no upload capability.
