My son's High School has a 18" Frantom buried in the corner of the woodshop, so he's interested in getting it going again, hopefully get some teachers/students interested etc (there was a bucket of thundereggs under it I haven't checked it out yet, but pics look like most of it's in great shape, but the vice clamp screw isn't pictured and some other minor issues I can see. Nice Red blade with almost all the paint! I've been scouring the web for a manual and or diagrams but have come up empty. If anyone has such a manual or diagrams that'd be great. Any idea what years Frantom manufactured saws? Did Highland Park buy them or anyone know the history? Thanks!

Frantom was bought out by Highland Park who was bought out by Contempo Lapidary who was in turn bought out by Diamond Pacific. They still have some parts from the original runs in a cargo container, check with them if you need parts. They can probably get you a diagram also.

Thanks for all the help... few minor issues and the vice lock seems to be missing, but otherwise looks in reasonable shape.
