This nice tool has a 60" table all cast iron and 3/4 enclosed cabinet. It houses a B-line ( Brown-BrockMeyer Co. ) 3/4HP Motor. Frame #RM-720-R
My research says these are probably from the 1920-1930's. They seem to be a rare find which people are delighted to get their hands on.
My husband purchased this used in 1975 and only used it on a few projects himself. Since each time you use it it's just for a few minutes, total time use here is minimal.
He believes it was from another home woodworker, not from a carpentry shop. He has reversed what he thinks is the original set of blades to the second side and there's still a lot of wear left on those.
There is another new set of blades that comes with it. He says these cost $60.
It still works perfectly ... in that aspect it's in like new condition.
Due to everything above the price is pretty firm at least at this time.
