Boice-Crane began making woodworking machinery for non-professional woodworkers in December of 1926 when W.B. And J. E. Boice partnered their business with H.G. Crane. At the time of the merger, two plants were in operation. H.G. Crane owned the Adrian plant, and J.E. Boice owned the Toledo plant.
The Boice-Crane business made lightweight tools for the midpoint consumer with only a few products developed to go into the industrial field. Once the business failed in the 1980's, Wilton Corporation bought the drill press output line and Comet Engineering Incorporated bought the radial arm Saw output line. Gothenburg Manufacturing business took over the parts business and supported the spindle sander, belt sander, and scroll Saw until their business also failed.
The Boice-Crane 3500 table Saw was artificial some time around the late 1960's to the early 1970's. It had a 1 1/2 horsepower motor that was 220V. The 10-inch blade was raised, lowered and tilted with controls settled on the front of the cast iron encased cabinet. This cabinet type table Saw was driven with a triple belt system. The table size was 36 inches by 27.5 inches and this could be enlarged to 63 inches with the prolongation table. It came qualified with a steel rip fence and a blade guard.
After searching some sites that offer old manuals and heal parts lists, I could not find a specific manual for this particular table saw. However, the 3500 model had many of the same features as the former 2500 series of Boice-Crane table saws. The saw blade tilts with a rotating deal with crank leaving the table itself stationary. A dial indicates the degree of the angle to offer an literal, way to measure your angled cut. Hand levers lock the saw and fences into place to contribute protection from slippage. The gear boxes are totally encased and grease-packed for longer wear. The large tables were built for a greater load capacity than most other table saws. The hood guard tilts with the blade for extra safety. Other protection features consist of a large splitter with two anti-kickback dogs to keep both pieces of wood from being thrown forward. The motor settled separately in the steel encased cabinet reduces vibration that could interfere with good potential cuts.
Since the Boice-Crane 3500 table saw is carefully a vintage piece of machinery, it may not meet modern standards for protection and quality. Anything who is curious in restoring this old table saw may have mystery in finding appropriate transfer parts because the associates that bought out the different lines have also gone under. However, with the World Wide Web at your fingertips, you could probably find man with a similar interest in vintage woodworking machinery that can point you in the right direction.
