I have both saw and I use both. I modified the Preac sso I’m able to raise and lower the blade height by just turning a knob. Much like on the Byrne saw.
I keep the Preac on the work bench alongside the model I’m building and use I’d for precision cutting., usually within thousands of an inch. And I am comfortable keeping my fingers closer to the blade than I would with the Byrne saw without fearing an injury.
I use the Byrne saw for heavier but still precise cutting.
Please note the blade height adjustment I made to the Preac saw improves its versatility 100%
Can you please take a few pictures of your adjustment feature in your Preac for me? I just got a Preac and I am dumbfounded as to how it was originally used. I believe mine is quite old as there seems to be nothing other than the vertical axle hinges to loosen and tighten for adjusting the height.
I would like to open a discussion with anyone who is using one. I am also seeking any documentation on the Preac too. Mine appears to have a serial number stamped into the right side of the table. I am missing some pieces. Detail pictures of your jigs etc, would be ideal.

Question for Jim Bryne's Saw Owners and Preac Saw Owners
in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Posted
If anyone has the paperwork from the manufacturer I would love to get a PDF or photograph of it.
I know its a long shot, but if if you have some of the original paperwork left I hope you could share.
