3HP belt driven - $45 ???
Sounds like it may be in rough condition, though...

may or may not be a deal. um.. I wonder if thats 3? HP or craftsman 3HP?:gar-La; If it aint 240V it aint 3 HP!:no: If it is a true 3HP then it should be multiple belt drive.
Good point; the Griz 1023 is "only" 2HP in the 110V model and 3HP in the 220V model.
I have seen people refer to it as the "might there gauge", "mydare gauge" and "mideair gauge". Almost as funny as a settling torch! Or a Roto Zit.
:rolf:
I had a high quality plastic bodied, aluminum topped Craftsman TS once. It had a "maximum developed 3 HP" motor on it :roll::roll::roll: , one of those pushing things that fits in a groove, and a 1o" blade.
I gave it to a blind guy, it was slightly better than nothing.

You gave a tablesaw to a blind guy ????
I have been starved for entertainment a few times, but never gone quite that far... :elvis:
I can see it now - "You'll never find a better price on a Unisaw..." :gar-La;
:wink_smil
Crud! It's already been deleted! Now I'll never figure out what a wood pushing thing is.

Technically he is "legally blind" he can see quite well but has problems with changing focus. Driving is not possible as his focus doesn't change fast enough to deal with moving cars.
I did give it to him, it was one of those rare special things that happened on Woodnet where folks really show that they have a good heart. It was around Christmas and he ended up with a complete shop out of donations.
He has become a fine woodworker, and sells quite a bit of his work...probably has gotten rid of my old TS by now.

Aw, c'mon Dave - can't we have a little fun at your expense without ya making us feel all guilty and stuff? :slap: :embaresse
