Doall Saws with Hyrdaulic Tables

Does anyone know much about these? I'm considering one for my home shop but concerned about the maintenance/upkeep of the hyraulic system. It appears that if the hydraulic system fails the saw is basically shutdown because the hyraulic system provides the blade tension as well.

Check with Rowe Machinery in Santa Cruz, CA.

They completed the rebuild of an all-hydraulic DoAll last year.

I assisted in parts of the rebuild, but not the hydraulics.

The hydraulic system is a bitch when it's not working, but when its working it's pretty sexy.

I bought a Do-All c5a at auction and once I got it leveled out, new inserts for the blade guide and a coolant pump I have had no problems with it. Cuts great and true. Simple hydraulics and I can send you a pdf file of the the manual if you are looking at this particular saw.

We have one here at work that is a million years old. I cannot tell you anything about the hydraulics because we have never had to look at it. It just works!

Are all of the 2613 saws 3HP 220 and 440?

Thanks,

Ryan
