Hey All, I picked up a '63 Unisaw today from a public school auction and it is in great shape. Included was the old type flip up blade guard , retractable splitter, and a perfect Jet-Lock fence and rails and table wings. Three phase machine but I plan to get a new motor for it and set it up in my garage once it's restored. There was an amazing display of various colored sawdusts inside. It looks like it was used to cut plastics and wood. I also got the remnants of a 6x48 belt sander for $60. Not much left of the sander but the 1&1/2 hp motor (Delta, 120/230V wired for 120 with a 120V starter ) purred like a lion. That motor will probably go on my "not yet running" gap bed lathe. I am looking forward to theis Uni restoration- i think it will be a lot of fun. Marc (it's not like I have a lot of time on my hands, but I really wanted to do this for a few years now)
