That looks like a classic. I am sure there is a collector out there somewhere.

Will I have to pay to have this taken away?

Cheers Matt.

I inherited a larger version (10 or 12 inch) of that one from my father-in-law and also picked one up off a nature strip.
After some time, I finished up putting them out for hard rubbish as I was not sure if they were still safe given the metal bodies and their age.
My son used to say they would need a power station to run them and they were as heavy as anything to handle.

Hi Matt. Did you finally sell it? I have 2 in my workshop both my dads and I will keep them for ever. And they're even louder when the bearings are on the way out!

Hi MA.
No unfortunately I haven’t sold it,
Not really sure what too do with it either,
I don’t really want to bin it either.
I could just imagine the noise they would make with a bearing on the way out.
Cheers Matt.

Matt . A good use and something I did with a spare saw was to mount it in the corner of a box so the blade sits close to flush with the level top surface . Or just a smidge higher . There is a hole just in front of the blade as well for larger trimming. Its a thing used for trimming chair or stool legs . Comes in very handy when sets of chairs get a re glue and are no longer sitting perfectly on all four tips. There a great thing that saves time and for storage slips out of sight till needed.

One good thing is you dont really need to touch the saw when its being used . This sounds dangerous but its not . When I use it I keep it unplugged, I wrap the switch with a wire loop so its turned on . I prefer not to go anywhere near the saw . The box sits on my work table with the saw mounted in the left front corner. To start it I just plug it in . Grab a chair and test how its wobbling on the level top . Two legs will be long and two short. work out which one I want to trim and slide it across the spinning blade . If it was 10 mm to long I could drop it through the hole and knock it all off a t once. Usually its only a mm or two so I slide it over the slightly high bottom of the blade and it takes 1/2 a mm at a time . Re test and if its good grab the next chair .

I copied the idea from a contraption I saw at Dewhurst Furniture . I was chatting to the owner and spotted his Pro manufactured machine . They Pump out some chairs there, Just ask Elan , He may have an opinion on the thing as well. Its Just a steel box coffee table height with a blade in one corner from memory. You got to have a need for such a thing, either making chairs or restoring them, if you do they save some major time .
