If you can post a pic I am sure that some one on this site can help. I am not familiar at all but I know that there was a table saw somewhere in the distant past. So stay tuned and welcome.

If it looks like the brochure, it is a 71 000 and is a 9" saw:

If different, sorry, this is all I have on Magna table saws. The two pics came out of a pdf file called Magna Line Power Tools found here:

I realize this is a pretty old post, but if you still have that Magna 710 table saw, I just posted some pictures of mine that I recently completed a restoration on, in the Gallery of Restorations thread, here:

I’ve also posted the full manual here:
