Wood working only or can it also do metal?

Both ! Most likely I'll only use it for wood and aluminum only . I need to find some of my skip tooth blades to see if they fit this saw . If not ......................................

does it have a gear box? without a gear box, it might be a multi speed woodworking saw.

I had one that looked just like that one, but it was only for woodworking or I would have kept it. Same friend that gave me a bunch of tools, gifted me that as well. I ended up giving him the money from the sale.

Not sure Jeff . Still laying in its horizontal layout . I'll investigate when I get it in the garage which will hopefully be soon . Looks like storms are on their way .

I have it in . Seems to be metal and wood as I leaked a bit of oil while moving . Then I found this . 39-278 sfpm .
What is left down the basement now . I have another radial arm saw , 30 ton hydraulic press , 18" x 24" surface plate and stand , Diacro 24" shear and 3 42" roll arounds . And MORE junk . At this point , I can't move anything else up until the lathe leaves which will be Saturday as hopefully planned .

Who bought the Wilton I sold awhile back on here ? Wondering how it's doing ?

Still discovering tooling that needs cleaning from the fire. I got my 40 taper stuff cleaned today. Dropped everything in Evapo-rust last night. They all have a light coat of SP-350.

I don't know if I'll ever get all of my tooling clean from my fire. Pyrochemistry involves a lot of radicals and photochemical reactions, that ain't normal rust. I still have the vignette of a hex key and wrench ghosted on top of my mill vise that looks like crime scene outlines.

I'm glad you still have stuff to restore. It doesn't take much to see it all go up.
