Check out this table saw. I called the #, to ask if it had a brand name, but no answer. Any ideas?

It looks like the brand name is embossed on the saw, but I can knot quite make it out.
It looks something like DROPMASTER or CHOPMASTER or?

From what I can tell it is an early 50's shopmaster. You can go to the owwm.com and look this up but it looks real close.
Hope this helps.

I beleive you are right Bill. It sure looks like it. I wish I had room, I would like to have, and clean it up, just for the sake of having it. I think it would look good just sitting there.

I know what you mean about cleaning it up and just looking at it. I love the old machines of any kind, Guess that is what got me hooked on the old ER's. Just picked up another one in KC today. Or my Nephew did and put it at my Dads house until I get up there to get it. Guess with seven I need to slow down. A guy in Tulsa has a Sawsmith 2000 in new shape I am working on wanting to get next but money is pretty tight right now. But good old machines are hard to pass up.
Drilled some pen blanks today to starting turning for Christmas and trying to finish the Grandkids Christmas presents.
Hope all of you out there are making sawdust.
