May 6, 201412 yr Had to adjust the fit of the saw plate to the "new" tote.   1" wide belt sander to gently ease things along.  Fired up the 1/4 sheet sander to sand down the tote, first some 120 grit, then some 320 grit.  Put the saw back together.  Had to use a drift pins to align the holes.   Setting on the bench out back, mid 70s here, and very sunny.  A look at where this old saw is atThe back side, or non "show" side.  FINALLY got the rust off.  Some along the tooth line, but I hate sanding there, all the set somehow disappears..Now the Show sideAnd a close up of the repaired toteMaybe get some Gun Blue to bring back the etch?  Might just get an oil finish to the wood.  Not bad, for a $2 saw, and $2.50 in parts?    Saw was the first model to feature a skew back design.  About 1878-1888?   Haven't measure the ppi on it yet. Planer? I'm the 'planer', and these are what I use...
