So does any body have a general price comparison via the region for coal by the ton? I remember within the last 10 years seeing it for around $100 less shipping... How many grades or priceing standards are there?

Mass excedes skill? Oh well, the collector and the craftsman are two different things. I would like a Nimba though...after I go "pro"~

Model 3400 Type 2 13A... Motor turns, no switch problems, blade has no power, won't cut at all. Like the blade is just hand spun. ~Break down and clean up. I'll learn a few things if nothing else. Any thoughts as to the diagnosis? ~Thanks again.

Thanks you guys. The motor appears of similar dimensions to a small bench/palm router... It is contained within a plactic houseing (square shell) and with the metalic table top. Not sure of the table materials, zinc,aluminum?. Not free standing. It needs heavy cleaning, very dusted over. The previous owner said the on/off switch was stuck. ~Didn't plug it in due to the grim. I'll try it tomorrow and may post a few pics. Baled Xmas trees today, 10 hours, exausted. ~Later

While visiting the solid waste disposal unit in my city today a fellow I never saw before noticed the Ron Paul sticker on my bumper and enquired on Mr. Paul's placement in the polls... I gave general and specific comments including my affirmed belief that every citizen should learn to reduse, recycle, and reuse~ He asked my occupation which gave way to further explanation of interests and asked if I would be interested in the afore mentioned saw... In un-working condition it found it's way into my truck bed then to my burgeoning laboratory.... If'n you could make it run... What would it turn into? 120volts AC, 4800 rpm... Taiwanese origin Ideas, suggestions, general help? I am not a mechanic yet... 'Come back y'all! ~Thanks

Wow, making your own fire brick/wall compound? ~Very interesting, thanks~ I hadn't really considered this angle...

Good job, post more pictures whenever you can. Many members would like to see it in action.
