Beginning restoration

I just begun restoring my table saw. It's all apart now and I am in the process of cleaning it all.



























Cleaned up parts... Shinny!

  1. Etienne,

    Doing this kind of restoration of an old General is a dream of mine. Your photos are inspiring.

    I am also in the Tech sector, living in Ottawa.

    My first challenge is to find a 450. Any suggestions for where to look?

    Regards,
    John

  2. Hi John,

    They are pretty hard to get by. I've been looking at the tools section on kijiji daily and I saw only one 350 for sale. The 450 itself is even rarer.

    It is fully restored now (minus the rails I still want to adjust) you can see the thread on OWWM.org http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=99422

    Cheers, thanks for commenting.

  3. Hello Etienne,
    I just bought a 450 after many years of searching. Thank you for your photos - they answer several questions for me.
