1881 Herbert Baker Universal Saw Bench

[WarnerConstCo.]

Well, this just came up for sale close to home and I could not resist.

This saw is a dual arbor saw, the left side table slides and all the accessories are there.

Herbert is home now and being massaged back into wonderful working condition.

This saw still has the original paint with gold pin striping.

That is really cool. Is that a sliding table?

 

[RONWEN]

Wow, what a find!  That looks like a wonderful old piece of machinery built for several lifetimes of use.

cool piece, find any fingers in there during clean-up? [eek] good luck

Yes, the left side table slides.

The PO had a custom extension made for the sliding table and I am able to cross cut  42"+.

It can carry 2 12" blades, a 14" and a 8" or up to a single 18" blade for a cutting depth of a little over 6".

I plan on using it for cross cuts and dado and tennon work.

Just have to pay attention to what you are doing when operating these old machines.

With the sliding table and clamp, it is a very easy and safe machine to use.
