My Old Pryibil Industrial Tablesaw

I bought an old table saw from a picker friend back in the early '70s for $100.00. It's a well over 100 year old heavy cast iron industrial 12 inch table saw made by P. Pryibil. It's been a real workhorse.

The arbor does not tilt nor does the top. I reconditioned it in the 1970s with new pillowblocks on the arbor, a new 5hp TEFC motor, and a Biesemeier fence. It's been a real workhorse ever since.

Table saw arbor size

• Arbor = 1 inch
• Blade retention nut = 1-5/8"
  • Wrench = 1-9/16 x 1-7/8"
