DESCRIPTION:

Your Model 57 Wellsaw didn't just happen.  It's the result
of a development that began in 1949 with Model 49A.  That
saw had a 1/4 HP drive, a cutting capacity of 3 1/2" x 6"
flat and 3" round and a 1/2" blade which made it a pretty
good unit for those days.  Model 49A was in constant
production until 1962.  People who knew a good tool when 
they found one bought almost three thousand.  The next
development in the series was Model 300.  It featured a 
sturdier saw frame which had been adapted from one of 
Wellsaw's mitering saws.  It's capacity and general
configuration was the same as Model 49A but its drive was
increased to 1/3 HP.  That proved to be even more popular
than the older 49A.  More than 6500 were built in fifteen
years.

The first of today's Model 57's came off the line in 1978 
and, as you can see from the specifications; it's heavier,
more powerful and has a considerably greater cutting
capacity.  With a 1/2 HP drive, Model 57 cuts 5" x 7" flats
and 5" rounds and features other refinements such as a 
ground bed for more precise cutting.

The best measure of the value of this series is the fact
that 11,646 have been produced between 1949 and 1991 as
this is written - and its still going strong.
