Bing Saw & ManI picked this Bing table saw and man up off ebay for just over $12. (I believe that is the make,can someone help me with the year) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008 The only problems were it was very dirty and unfortunately two holes have been added to the base. This is how it looked on arrival: 
I then took it apart: 
And began the cleanup. The base has a unique paint job, and here is a marking: 
Marking in reverse from underside: 
Cleaned parts ready for assembly:

Nice restoration work Nick, an oily rag usualy does the trick
Date wise, looking through my reference books gives a date from 1925-1935

I picked up my method from someone on a different forum and it works great. I use Gojo (hand cleaner, without the pumice), a toothbrush, and some water. Then I dry it off with an air copressor and apply a small amount of oil to keep it rust free. This is the man that helped me out, the video is a little long, but it shows how to use it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qxWX2BOf-O0 |
