It was bin!Looks like a Meber 400 to me.
I guess you're still sweating from the auction!
What a find.
Good luck with it.

It looks very similar to my Multico. Very similar casting patterns on teh foot brake, fence etc. Looks like it has the GL blade guides which are very good and easy to adjust. Suspect the table wont tilt to 45. What a snip at £60
Also worth noting the wheels apparently have the same groove as Centauro, i.e the one which @sams93 acquired recently looks to be somewhat similar.Could be an older Centauro or SCM, the fence looks similar to what you get on the modern machines
No other manufacturer other than Meber and Multico I believe, has that slant on the upper section of the column.
The difference most notable between the two is the guidepost.
Though the frame is not the same either, if you look at the Meber having a square section column,
but interestingly Meber maunfacturers the same folded profile of below on the larger machines.
I'd guess that might be where Multico sourced their frames?

The SNAC like fold on the Multico, but seemingly starting at the 500 from the possible original source.

Here's a thread where Van Huskey mentioned the factories being in very close proximity to each other.

Have a read of Myfordman's (Bob's) post which has a link to the induction motor document.Here is the motor plate will it need a different switch for 240v
Tom thanks for this post do you have access to the multico? If so how does the fence bar attach to the table? I have found three threads under the table?No other manufacturer other than Meber and Multico I believe, has that slant on the upper section of the column.
