8in. by 24in capacity. Vise can swivel to 45 degrees.

Yes, you read that right. 24 inches.

Older design, but all guide bearings, idler bearings and electrics have been completely replaced.
Electrical box has a provision for a 120V coolant pump, but no pump is installed. Motor has been replaced with a 2HP 240V motor.

New pulleys provide for speeds of 57, 93, 158, 266, and 439 feet per minute.

The saw could use a new blade. (It still cuts adequately, but has a small section where the teeth are worn.) I don't want to second guess what type of blade you prefer, so I and leaving the old one on it.

144in. x 3/4in. blades in a range of materials and tooth counts can be had from this company in Langford, ranging from about $30 for Flexback Carbon to about $70 for Bi-Metal or M2.


Or, you could spend $700 bucks on a new import 4x6 ;-)
