Appreciate it.It is a Byrnes Model Makers Table Saw. Not cheap, very accurate, has size/motor limitations, well suited for segmenting, I have made many jigs to assist for my needs. All limitations are perfectly fine for my needs. I got lucky and was able to get this and the Byrnes Sander used for about 1/2 price. For what I do - they are perfect and I'd buy them again at full price. If you have needs for larger projects, there are other machines ava.
I'll post a link in a minute. Byrnes Table Saw.

Hi Mark. What dimension wood can you run through the thickness sander? Thanks.
Thanks, Mark.6" x 1 5/16" are the spec. I would be a bit conservative on the width and go with 5 1/2". Also the drum is split - 2x 3". So you can have 2 different grits - each with a 3" paper. You can by a wedge to allow a continous size paper of 6". This is easily seen in the pictures on the website:

Last night I tried something I was previously hesitant to do - sand down chevron/segmented strips. I assumed previously that it would destroy the strips. In the picture below, the strips on top of the sander were about .107" off of the table saw (Byrnes of course...). Subsequently, I really needed them to be .095" With care, I was able to mill them down without a single failure.
