Hi,

This was left in my garage from the previous owners and i'm not sure what it is. I think it's some sort of panel saw...

Can anyone identify what it is and/or the make and model?

It looks to be a panel ripping unit with self feeding ability, but it also appears to have a router carriage, so unless some of the more sophisticated artisans on the forum can enlighten you, I am at a loss. Nice tool, though. Did someone say "tool"????

I agree, thats what it looks like to me too. I really need to get one of those. Why? Because I don't have one yet!

I'm trying to make space in my garage and wouldn't begin to know how to use it. I was contiplating sending it to the scrap yard, however it sounds like I should sell it first.

It looks rather expensive so I thought I would ask if anyone knew what it was first.

Let me know the name of the scrapyard you use. Vic, I'll beat you to it, because it's closer. Definitely try to sell it, as it would be invaluable to a serious woodworker.

Do you know what company makes this? I would like to try to find either a manual on how to set it up and/or prices.

you should definitely try to sell this. you have no idea how die-hard woodworkers and DIYers would kill for hard-to-find, cheap, functional equipment.
