Anyone who respects Louie Sauzedde is destined to turn out great projects.
Thanks for saving the saw.

AFAIK a ships saw has a frame that tilts the head to cut bevels while the table remains flat. This is just a big old bandsaw.

A beautiful big old bandsaw at that!! I'd build on to my workshop to accomodate that big old guy!!!
