Douglas, It certainly looks like a Kity. I had a 613 for some years. It was OK for the price but the guide assembly was a bit lightweight, the fence was as you say, graunchy and you had to allow for the fact that it would move slightly when you tightened the locking lever. The fence wasn't adjustable for drift, and there always was some, so it was necessary to improvise. These are all things you get with a relatively cheap bandsaw and my current Felder suffers from none of them, but it was twice the price. Many people look askance at ali tables but that was one aspect of the Kity which I never thought to be a problem. Jim
