Downey California auction

[Markem618]

It is an Iron Planet Auction, whole lot of stuff. But the old Sears table saw is cool.

Phenolic wings? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

My dad had a late '40s or early '50s Craftsman table saw with cast wings and they came out with stamped steel sometime after that but I've not seen phenolic. I'd guess it beats steel and probably even poorly cast iron too.

Not quite sure a zero clearance insert could be made.

Doesn’t seem like a lot of room next to the blade on the left. What would be left of the insert would be pretty flimsy. Hard to tell, bad angles.

But the router tables have miter gauge slots. ;-)

The wings appear to be laminated wood, and likely home-made.

Yeah much like the insert which looks like oak.

Yeah, I think you're right. Looking closer, it looks like butcher block.
