What is this?

I've attached a photo of an item in my garage.  Has anyone an idea what it is and what its used for.

    It looks like what's left of a Sliding Mitre Saw, after someone took it apart and lost some bits (including the circular blade).
    Here are some:

    I can't make out the make/model in the blurred photo but if you search for that on the internet, I'm sure you'll find a picture of it.

    It certainly looks like a compound mitre saw - possibly not a sliding one, though.  Looking at the plug, it looks like it has possibly been used in an industrial or job-site setting - so check whether it is 240v or 110v before being tempted to plug it in to see if it works.

    It's a 110V mitre saw. Could be Dewalt. Probably long had it's day, hence why it was dumped.
