Why? What are you planning to do with this saw? Garage shop for cutting general small stuff? I suggest buying a small table saw from Home Depot and have another chop saw to cut things to length.
Shop Smith maybe the company that made a machine like it. I am not sure if they are still around. |

It seems that flip saws are outlawed in the US. I was looking to purchase one. It's nearly impossible.

If you have table saws, why not just buy a miter saw or radial arm saw? Why do you need one that does both functions when you already have one that does one of the two functions??

I think for small places like Europe or Japan where space is a premium?

Yeah, they are space savers. You won't find any fine furniture/kitchen woodworker using one. |

Took about 12 seconds to find Shopsmith web site.
Last one I saw was Norm on This Old House was flogging them.
