Doerr miter saw

[fech]

I am looking at a lower miter saw for sale locally. They want about 250 for it. Not overly familiar with it and was curious if that was a good price it was a 201 porta saw.

Thanks for any info

That thing is probably older than most members of this forum. Doerr hasn't been around for a long time. BTW, I believe only the motor was made by Doerr - the saw was made by ??.

If you do a little more digging you will find that the "dor" part of Baldor originated when Edwin Ballman started a motor company with Emil Doerr in 1920.
