    This saw is made in Germany.  The base needs to be bolted to the floor for smoothest operation.  It is a bottom feeder.  The upper arm does not lift a lot. Has a magnetic switch which makes a floor switch not usable with this saw. Uses only pin-less blades.  Excellent customer service from Advanced Machinery. Repair parts available for my 1988 Hegner Multimax saw and for this saw.  This saw has a 1/4" HP 3.1 amp, 1640 rpm, induction motor, no brushes. It has a cast iron table that measures 10 1/4" x 19 1/4"

    I recently took the motor to this saw to a motor shop and had the magnetic switch replaced with a regular rocker switch.  Now I have the saw plugged into a foot switch and it works well that way.  I bought this saw new in 2008 and have used it almost every day since.  I cut 3/4" thick stock doing inlay and intarsia and spend 30-40 hours each week, in my workshop.  This saw gets a lot of hard use and has given me zero problems. Seems to be very durable.

    Do you have a problem changing belts to change speeds, 

    I ask because PS has belt drive and I am looking at the 21"

     

    On my Hegner, to change speeds, I just move one lever, slide the motor to loosen the belt, move the belt to a different speed, and slide the motor back and move the lever back to lock it in place.  I took me longer to type this post than it does to change the speed on my belt driven Hegner.
