Since 1939 there have been many “value engineering” changes to the Unisaw and while I’ll try and catch each one I won’t guarantee that I’ll cover them all.

Most people, if they are going through the entire process, will elect to repaint. It should be noted that even the saddest of bastards with no broken parts really only need a good cleaning to get them back to working properly. This article will take you through the process and in the end you can, if you choose, take every bit and piece apart, bring it back to factory fresh and put it all back together to where it works like the day the saw was born. On the scale of Easy to Hard the Unisaw really falls way down on the list towards Easy as a machine that normal humans can dismantle and put back together *if* you have a little bit of mechanical knowingness and the proper tools.
