Miniature mulit tool- SAW/TURN/SAND
kevo55 | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
I recently purchased a miniature table saw/lathe/disc sander combination machine at an estate sale of a gentleman who passed that used to build miniature movie sets for Walt Disney.
Brand name appears to be “Power House”
Also a tag on the back with Model#76100, McGraw-Edison Co.,Boonville Mo.
If anyone has ever heard of, seen one of these or could lead me in the direction to find some solid information about this tool I would greatly appreciate it.
I have digital photos if any one would like to see it.
Thanks.

Can't help ..... but it looks like a slick tool. Is it in working order? Have you tried it out?
nikkiwood,Thanks for the kind words.Yes it is in very good working order. The previous owner had installed a new on off switch. He also had made several other modifications to the tool such as the extended table, rip fence, and a blade guard (not shown in photo). The previous owner had two of these tools. The one I purchased was set up for table saw and disc sanding only, and the second one (I should have bought it too)was set up for lathe work only. Both had numerous custom fabricated specialty pieces that He had made for them. At the time of my purchase I thought I was just buying a miniature table saw. But when I got home with it I found out I had a bit more than just a saw. I feel pretty good about my $25.00 investment. Only thing I need currently is the CHUCK for the lathe, I think. I really do not know how much is factory production and how much the previous owner modified. I hope someone will see this and tell me what I got.Take care.

Leon,Thank you for the link. It had some interesting information regarding the history of the company. However this tool must be rare I'm still have ang a difficult time finding a photo of the original.Many thanks.
No problem. They're a good resource for old stuff, I've pulled manuals for several of my old Rockwell/Delta tools from them.Fascinating just to pull a company and read through what they made.Leon Jester
