• Nice workshop and housing for it. I have a table saw that has some similar features to that one, but I've never known the maker. Perhaps it is a Pericaud. I'll have to look into that.

  I have see the GD mark on some of the lathes and lineshaft, but that is all. Most(the ones that appear of later manufacture to me) are merely stamped "Made in France"
  
  I've attached a few catalog scans if that helps! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

• There are similarities to the table saw #8-5407, but it is not a match at all. Perhaps even stronger similarities to the base mounts of some of the grinders / buffers and fan.
  
  It is a clue that may give me some leads, so I appreciate these catalog images greatly.
  
  I'll try to get a photo of it up sometime later tomorrow.

• Here are a few photos of the table saw I spoke of earlier, that seems to share some general "feel" to the Pericaud tools of this thread.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A wonderfully well built tool that has several actual adjustments that offer fair precision would it be made to actually work ... which it appears fully capable of doing. No markings of any kind have I found on this piece, so anyone sharing any info would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi,
  what you got is a rare Georges CARETTE (Nuremberg) cast iron Circular Saw #111/1 issued in the 1920s.
  Accompanying models of that series are the Wood Grinder w/exhaust #616/1 and the Fret or Jig Saw #113/1.
  Here they are all three..

• You bet correctly, and with your permission I'd like to copy that image. I will mention that when clicking on the image, the info block says "Katalog 1912", so perhaps it is a bit earlier.
  
  Any chance of getting a photo of that whole page of the catalog?
  
  If not that's okay, and certainly thank you for sending along the photo of this Circular Saw listing!!!

• If it this what makes you happy... your'e welcome!
  
  What I showed you before is a pic from the english 1912 BASSET-LOWKE trading catalog.
  
  Here now the page 55 of the german 1905 CARETTE catalog... not a good copy but usable...

• Really nice workshop. Not too big and too cramped. Just right. The one worker you had in there standing
  look like he was in a space suit. Reminded me of one when I was a kid, "Major Matt Mason". Thanks Benny.
