Ah cool - as a fixed set up kinda thing it’s pretty good, and will be easier to rig up some kind of extraction around. Took us a while to work out: there’s no spindle lock, blade change needs a hex key in the spindle and spanner on the reverse thread lock nut.
Oh also, it’s a Dewalt Shopmaster, but I’m sure you worked that out.

At least the extraction port on the blade guard is on the rear. Looks like some models have it on the front.
And useful tips, thanks. Once I get a pic or look at the type plate, I'll be much wiser as to what exact model it is. I tried looking at vintage machinery.org, but couldn't find an exact match.

Yeah, the long setup time will be OK, as it will only be doing one or two different tasks. Having had a track saw (the Makita one without a riving knife) jump across my fingers when it grabbed on an oak tabletop made me very aware of how sloppy I'd been with hand placement and safety in general.
