Hirsh Saw Table

Does anyone have one of these? I am looking for a manual to it and I can't find one anywhere online. If you have one could you scan it and email it too me? Thanks in advance.

Rob----I found a couple of write ups over at Wood Net
From what I read-----you don't want one.
They call it unsafe junk ---a good way to get hurt.

I got it dirt cheap with a Craftsman router attached to it ($25). I can't afford to buy or make a router table at this point in time. It is very sturdy as a router table. A lot better then the cheap thin metal one I have right now. I would never use it as table saw which is where a lot of the discussion is coming from. I just wanted the manual to see the best way to use the fence with the router.

That makes sense---------it should work good for that.
Sorry I didn't have better luck---but I did look

I made my own table and I will admit that it is not the most safe saw around (no blade cover) but it is very very accurate. I can't tilt the blade to 45° either, but for blanks, it is GREAT!
