--- Quote from: johnny123 on August 12, 2010, 07:36:37 PM ---hello The saw is not made in Taiwan,rather by Warsaw ind. USA, Made in USA. That is what is on the power king label. Think you might be confused with King power tools Don? I think it will make a nice little aluminum/brass saw when slowed down with bearing guides both upper and lower the table. --- End quote --- Hi Johnny: I saw your post. Try over at the Old Wood working Machines site for a bit of history on the Power King. www.owwm.com The company does show up in the records there but has been bought out and merged with Atlas and on down the line. At one time I think those may have been retailed by Montgomery Wards, but that is just a guess. As far as bearing guides? I don't think I would bother. The guide blocks are available from wood working supply houses and actually give a wider support and anti-twisting action than a bearing. I could see retrofitting a rolling rear support bearing but the blocks should be fine for the sides. Roger Old, Tired, and Grumpy BTW, you realize that you stole that thing for $20 don't you? In the vernacular of the OWWM bunch "You Suck!" (and that's a good thing) |
