Sorry, I was thinking bought in the last 25 or so years. The early ones

The only difference between a 1956 and 2008 is the motor size and
the fence types. That would explain any weight differences.

All other parts are 99.9% compatible and would weigh exactly
the same. Very little changed between 1938-2008.

Older Unisaws share parts all the way up to the
change over to the "new" design.

Many folks doing restores have almost no problem getting replacement
parts for any Unisaw spanning many years.


Ok, I read your information. The much older unisaws mentioned in the
catalog are as follows.

The saw with splitter,guard, and 2 extension wings, fence, 336 lbs. BUT
the motor is not included.. Add the motor at either 65 or 79 pounds and
you are at either at 401 or 415 pounds depending on which 1.5 hp motor you
add.

I did not see any motors offered with more than 1.5 hp until you started
ordering with 3 phase.

The more relatively modern Unisaws all came with at least 3 hp motors which
are heavier still.

AND BTW the Unisaw is on page 56. The saws on page 54 that you mentioned
are much smaller contractor type saws.
