I bought this very old 94" Wellsaw from my sister's husband for $150.

I spent 4 days dismantling and cleaning.

Got with the folks at Wellsaw and bought a little over $200 of new parts- shock, blade guides, bearings and new pulleys.

Spent 3 more days polishing and reassembling.

This saw runs like the proverbial top.

After 4 more days trying to adjust the blade for horizontal and vertical square cuts, I finally admitted to myself that the saw kicked my ass, badly.

It would cut square on horizontal OR vertical, but not both. Two friends came and tried to help- just no dice, no matter what.

Someone with much better skills that I will need to build a new bow support to make it track properly.

I am done with it.

Much heavier, better built and larger than the little import saws.

Has very light surface rust from outside storage under a tarp for a few months.

$150.
