Sterling Supersaw

Good score.
There are at least three Nolex RAS's for sale on ebay at the moment.
They appear to be different models from yours though.

Cousins the original builder of the Supersaw was out Castle Hill way and made the AGS for Wadkin for a while.
They are in some ways better than the genuine Pom built ones.
Better Rise and fall and tilt handles and the throat plate was machined from solid not die cast.
Unfortunately they modded the riving knife so it no longer goes up and down with the blade.
Seen quite few up here in Sydney over the years. Have one in the shed now as we speak.

Mine is a later version of Supersaw. These are adjustable to cut mitre and compound mitres although I just keep it set up Square in both directions.Very smooth action and without the bar in your face while working.
I have a 14" blade but it would take larger. A bit short on power for a bigger blade though and 3 Phase would help there.Lovely design inside the cases with concentric adjustable ball bearing guides to get everything tracking square and true.

very interesting docker.

theses non yoke saws that pivot on the arm are not that common, and your with the motor up top gives a better depth of cut. Stenner made a saw that pivits on the arm. Could you show how thats works?

the stenner with built in dust shoot.
Note where miter privet is as well.

This is called "Centre Cutting Saw" and the fence is made to have its front face over the centre of the pivot bolt which means when you turn it for a mitre the saw blade still comes through the same slot and not a distance further along the fence.

The elusive CAE...Looking.....looking, one of these days I will find this Stenner. Some nights I wake up sweating and I am sure I can hear them calling, I just can't tell if it is the CAE or the BL, and were they are calling from..

I keep telling my wife it's no different to people who collect cards or stamps.

I also found that both the Nolex & Supersaw were the best Dockers that I'd ever operated (as I'm a fully qualified Senior Machinist by trade). Many yonks ago I'd seen a Nolex in a Cabinetmakers kitchen manufacturer's shop which I'd found a little strange, as a small Radial Arm saw is usually quite common in a Maker's shop.
