Comments

This invention is a very early form of a tablesaw. The blade is mounted at the edge of the table, there is not really a table top as such, and there is no provision for adjusting the blade angle or the depth of cut. But it is the earliest patent (excepting those lost in the 1836 patent office fire) that looks at all like a tablesaw.
