Makita Small Grooving Cutter with Blade for Carpentry, Woodworking, DIY

This is a listing for the Makita professional power tool Small Grooving Saw 3003A.
This is a specialized tool for cutting grooves in things like thresholds and doorjambs.
Based on the nameplate, it appears to be manufactured in the late 1980s. It's an old tool with a lot of character, but it has the robust construction typical of older models. Recommended for those who can perform maintenance or restoration themselves, or for those who want to use it heavily as a practical tool.

[Operational Status]
Confirmed that it powers on and the motor rotates.
It was recently used for cutting grooves for a DIY bookshelf.
