Behold! The Crescent Universal Wood-Worker

[geologist]

Stumbled across it while looking for old power tools. Managed to find an unrestored (but working) one on CL for anyone interested in owning one of these gems:

Sure, it's $800 - but there are several thousand pound of cast in this thing, so the price is basically at or near its scrap value. Believe me when I say that I came *THISCLOSE* to buying it, but I don't have a fork lift to move the damned thing. LOL

Man, that thing sure has a bunch of busy **** going on up underneath it, doesn't it?

Im not even a woodworker and I want one!! definitely a deathtrap though, look at all the movable parts.

I want one for what it is, but I'd settle for a bandsaw that size.

That's awesome!
Looks like you could remove the bandsaw and make it a stand-alone tool, which would then open the table saw up to being a lot more useful.
