Just checked my saw. Facing it, on the right side is a handhold to
raise the blade. On the backside is a sticker-Model 3300, serial
number 874087. It does have a GE motor,1/2 HP
So far only a couple inches of snow. Getting ready to take off for
the western edge of MO in my semi.

Larry, thanks. My Jet is about the same age & it does the same
thing.
I figured I had the guides set to one side or the set in the
blades
was wearing causing it to lead. That's one of the reasons I
joined
the group, thought someone might have a can of cut
straightener :).
We wsed to have a Wilton foundry about 12 miles from here, but
they
only made vises & Hunter fan housings. (good vises back then). I
don't worry to much about the cuts because I can clean them up on
the
lathe or mill, but sometimes you just hate to loose the stock.
BTW
glade it's you getting the snow instead of me. I'm in MS, & it
was up
in the 60's today. Another 20 deg. or so & I'll start to thaw
out. Do
appreciate the help. britt

thinking I was getting a american made saw that was better than
the
imports. I gave $400 for it back in 1988. Factory men worked on
it
several times and it would cut straight for a day or so and then
start getting all cock eyed again. Never used it much after that.
Have been reading alot of ideas on making 4X6's cut better and am
going to try some of them in the futher.
