Around 3.12 in to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpSFK_N1 ... ploademail there is a clear shot of the blade.
Anyone recognise it please?

The back on the saw which you can see in the pic is one piece of cast aluminium...no fabricated steel anywhere. I've had that one for well over ten years now and it's never let me down or ever been inacurate. Great little saw, and the same one (well, not the same one, but an identical one) that the late JK had in his personal 'shop in California. Robert Ingham has one too, but I think his is the slightly bigger one - Robjimi43":1ekyrcwo said:Gorgeous Rob...simply gorgeous!
I quite like the three wheel ones too...apparently they have a tendency to break blades quicker because of the sharp angles but nevertheless...nice machines.
Thanks for that tool **** Rob...made my day!

In practice, three wheelers had smaller wheels (typically 6") and therefore tighter turns. The third wheel was a way of increasing the throat of a small saw.
There is a very good reason why they disappeared from the market... !

Hi Bob
It's a carbide tipped blade - they usually have a triple tipped tooth design and are great blades that give a great blade life.
They need a lot of tension though - even more than M42 blades, so will only run on fairly big machines.....oh and they cost around £180 each......want me to get you a couple?

Minor bits of information - at one stage, the Inca tilt-table sawbench and planer-thicknesser were marketed as a single unit, badged Startrite-Inca.jimi43":2kgswypi said:Glorious pictures Mark!
There will be some INCA enthusiasts in the USA (and here!) drooling over those I'm sure.
Lignum guides ? Where can I get old of them from ?condeesteso":u4xnrzvf said:- I would try lignum guides, make your own, and have them in contact as sacrificial zero clearance guides. Being self-lubricating they last well apparently.
