I’ve just come across this this little saga………. Puts me in mind of an Inca saw like this that I had more than 25 years ago.
It didn’t occur to me at the time that it was a ‘left-hand’ cut, (apparently the only one made???) but I used it for a year or so until it became clear that it was too small, physically, for what I did........ I think that it was a set of six Oak doors that convinced me.
Anyway, after a free-ad in one of the woodworking comics, I sold it to a bloke who specifically wanted a ‘southpaw’ machine because, he said, he was making a glider.
With the cash in hand and a very good bit of bonus, I bought a Startrite 352, which I still use.
Still, a good read and nice to see the old machines are still about.
