Rare Oliver 88DY tablesaw

This came out of a crating department at a missile silo. Fancy crates I guess.

What a monster that is

I love the t-track grid in the slider, I'm sure there are some really creative jigs that could be produced to take advantage. Very cool machine, thanks for sharing!

Looks amazing!

Boards just give up out of intimidation.

A battleship with attached aircraft carrier.

What is the blade diameter, and how wide are those miter gauges?

It was designed and built for the pattern industry, it originally came with a ground angle iron cross cut fence with stops. I think I can come up with something pretty sweet by incorporating the original mount holes and the t slots.

Hold an 18" blade.

I think those miters are 12" across the face.

Table cranks out to allow for massive dado stacks.

Didn't know about this brand (thought they just used a mule and a plow to cut wood back then).  I hope you'll post more photos as you get it up and running.

Searched u-tube and was really surprised at how the entire motor carriage moves (on this model) when adjusting bevel.

The 88s only have a large single front trunion.

Did they also make a full size version?

There was actually one with a larger sliding table.

Ha!

That'll teach me.

Have to put extra footings in the shop floor to support the saw.

So much Iron!

You're not off at all on that one... [smile] I worked for 3M for 8 years and when we needed to install a new lathe to machine the 10' or longer rolls that produced everything from ribbon to tape, they excavated 30' deep holes to lay footings on the bedrock for the lathes that would not transmit the vibrations from the freight trains that were passing next to the plant. Name me a successful manufacturing concern that doesn't have a rail head next to their production facility.  [smile]

I love watching time lapse videos of foundations being excavated in the middle of a building for new foundations for machinery. Sometimes a years worth of work just to start setting the machine.

Ya it's pretty incredible the methods they have to implement to prevent the transmission of sound waves to the equipment. Who'd of thunk. If you're measuring your +/- in .010 increments then you're good. If you're measuring in the +/-.001 or less increments, then you'd be best to stack all the cards in your favor.  [big grin]  Otherwise you're on the bosses sh.. list.

Yeah, fun to walk into old plants/shops and see all the cuts in the floor from every time they needed to put in a new footing under a machine, which then was replaced with something else.

Sometimes I think no one really knows what kind of base the machine needs, so they just decide 3-4 ft deep and a lot of rebar is the answer.
