Hi Wally, on the bottom of my fence rail is a large tapped hole, perhaps 1/2 in. Do you have any idea what that is for?

Oddly the starter box on my saw is on the left side at the back. Definitely not a good place for it.
There's a cutout for the original switch on the front right. I think I will cover that over and move the starter box to the front left side.

I honestly don't know. Mine was made in Guelph so it definitely comes from the Beaver --> Rockwell lineage. Serial number UU1578. I can't quite date it because the Vintage Woodworking machines folks are primarily tracking US made machines.
BTW, there is no master list of Canadian serial numbers so you won't be able to determine exactly when your saw was produced.

I kind of keep track of serial numbers of Guelph-built Unisaws. I've only ever noted two saws with the UU prefix--virtually all the Guelph saws had a "G-" prefix. On the other two examples, the tag says "Rockwell Manufacturing Company of Canada, Limited". This is the name they used prior to 1973 so it is likely an older saw. Would love to see a photo of the tag!

Re: Used Unisaw
I wonder if someone would take a photo of the rear of their Unisaw so I can see what the back rail looks like.
Is there supposed to be a length of angle iron or something to support the extension table?
