I cannot help with a year of manufacture, although many machines have it stamped on the spec label but assume you looked there

Its remarkably similar to others I have seen, DeWalt, Kity, Elu and others

Without a dust port its likely 1990s or earlier I would have thought

Thanks

what colour is the saw and where was it made? the "no dust port" ones are earlier.

I saw something about the factory moving to France in 75, but I haven't seen anything else to back this up. There are a few sites where you can download a brochure which may give you a clue.

what will confuse things slightly is that some of the info is American where the model numbers are 310, 320, 330 and 340. I believe that these may all have been incarnations of the "euro 260".

I dont have much to do this afternoon, so...

in 1985, there was no dustport, by 1987 had appeared.

an advert for 1968 shows a bandsaw that is very similar to the 260, so it had a fair old lifespan.

I found reference to most of the 70s and early 80s being Swiss, but "though there were some imported from France" [into the usa]

BS170 (imperial) was replaced by BS5000 (metric) for electrical rotating machines in the early 70s

I was in secondary school in the mid 60s and we were taught joint imperial and metric units so I would expect industry to be changing over then too.

Yeah, put the pork on the smoker about 11 and it started pouring shortly afterwards.

Its green and grey ,looked at sites the motor seems to be imperial connections and as far as I know stopped using imperial in 65

 

[marcros]

in some of the earlier brochures the motors were optional.

 

[marcros]

I think that grey and green puts it fairly early too. they later had cream and green, green, and then blue/green

have a look through Catalogues and Adverts for INCA (INJECTA) when you have an hour. look at the price lists too, because there are some diagrams in some which may help, and you will see notes about the stands and motor options.

This is a picture of mine.
I think it is the original Swiss made version.
