Never mind the "economics", but I do have one Q concerning the rest of the machine (as I don't know that Inca machine at all).
Have you now "up-modded" the machine (new word?) to the extent that a different weakness elsewhere in the machine as it was first made is now revealed?

So much so I gave it back lolDoris":xkk9qu09 said:I can confirm I'm very pleased with the results of the restoration. Even with the rusty old kinked blade it came with, it still cuts like a knife through butter.
Was well worth the wait.

Made no sense at the time :-"

Do you have the original rail for the fence? It is a length of unequal angle iron that bolts to the front of the table and I would think it also helps to keep the table flat.
Straingly enough I have done some work on my Inca today a few weeks ago I managed to break the table insert and today I made a new one.
Making a glider? You've totally lost me there...Argus":2t1x6hcq said:I’ve just come across this this little saga………. Puts me in mind of an Inca saw like this that I had more than 25 years ago.
It didn’t occur to me at the time that it was a ‘left-hand’ cut, (apparently the only one made???) but I used it for a year or so until it became clear that it was too small, physically, for what I did........ I think that it was a set of six Oak doors that convinced me.
Anyway, after a free-ad in one of the woodworking comics, I sold it to a bloke who specifically wanted a ‘southpaw’ machine because, he said, he was making a glider.
With the cash in hand and a very good bit of bonus, I bought a Startrite 352, which I still use.
Still, a good read and nice to see the old machines are still about.
