Additional Information
This was a donation from Akron Makerspace. It's a Bett-Marr 14S, vintage 1942-1956 (or maybe later?). Motor is dated 1986.
Needs power cord (12/3, as it's a 16 A motor)Fixed, though plug is 15A for now.- Should have a better power switch installed. A nice, emergency-stoppy one.
- Probably needs a new belt - size?
- There's sort-of a bodged welding job that needs to be ground off, have rust cleaned off and re-welded.
- This has been worked around for now, but long-term should be fixed better
Blade should be replaced (note inside door says 95 1/2“ x 1/2” wide x 0.025“ thick)Remove the light attachment - it's a mess and not helping anything- Add a guard to the belt/chain mechanism
- Add a guard to the blade
- extend the current guidepost to drop lower?
- Table needs refinishing - rather rusty
- A nice repainting on the body wouldn't hurt either.
- New tires? Probably not a priority right now, but eventually?
