Sold Startrite "Shaw Guard" for TA series table saws.

[Distinterior]

This is a pretty rare item and they seldom come up for sale
It came with a non running" Spares or Repair" saw ( early 1960's saw) that I bought for parts about 6 years ago.

I finally got around to refurbishing it recently and it deserves a new home with someone that will get good use out of it.

I believe it will fit on any of the Startrite TA series of table saws ( 125, 145, 165, 255, 175 & 275 models)
If fitting it on a 125, 145 or 255 model, the Green cast iron foot is removed and the Shaw Guard post inserts directly into the corresponding hole in the cast iron fence and is secured with the grubscrew in the cast iron foot shown in the pictures.
If fitting it on a 165, 175 or 275 saw fence, the green cast iron foot is retained and bolted directly on the pressed steel fence.

It has all original parts, including the hardwood pressure runners.
All the parts were stripped, cleaned, re-blackened & oiled or painted in Startrite Green hammer finish.

Price is £165 and I will be happy to post it at the buyers cost, if required.

Any further information or photos required, just ask...

Tim.

Hi time I would be interested in this. Where are you?

Hi Indiana,
I am in Colchester, Essex.

I’m just south of Bristol so not exactly local. I’ve never seen one before. Can I just ask does this attach the to threaded holes on the top of my 275 fence?

Yes, it does!
As I said in my original post, when fitting it onto the fence of the TA275, the green cast iron foot just bolts directly to the top of your fence.

Hi Andrew,
I hope you & that Startrite saw are both doing well

Thanks, it's cleaned up nicely......"what does it do?!"......- I have absolutely no idea!....
Only kidding! .

It is designed to keep even pressure on the wood against the fence and down onto the surface of the table.
In a similar way as feather boards do on a router table, for example.

They were only available from Startrite as an optional extra back in the day, but due to the small amount that you actually see for sale individually, or as an accessory with a saw, I can only assume that very few were actually sold along with the saws.

Regards, Tim.

Yes, I'm fine thank you.

I'm still in the process of restoring 3 more Startrite table saws in my home workshop.......When I manage to find the time, that is...!
"Work" keeps getting in the way...
