Well, I got some old iron given to me and after a little searching and asking around, I discovered I had an old, late 1940's to early 50's era, Craftsman table saw. It needs some cleaning up and probably a few new parts here and there but overall, it's in great condition. A little surface rust that can be sanded down, a few adjustments here and there, and I'm hoping I can out it back in serviceable condition. Anybody have a line on replacement parts availability, please pass along the info.
It came to me mounted on a fairly large roll-a-way table that was obviously homemade some time back, and it had a HUGE motor attached to it. From what I've seen on the web, this is not the original motor but from what I can tell, it runs pretty good though it does need some TLC and maybe a bearing or two.
This is the ID plate on the motor housing.
Also along for the ride was this, :dontknow:, whatever it is thingamajiggy. It looks kinda like a saw blade of some sort but all the "teeth" are pointing in the same direction. :eusa_thin Anybody got any ideas as to what it is, I'd appreciate the info.
I also was given an old Task Force table top type saw that runs great and needs some cleaning. Have to rig it up on something and see what I can do with it. Nah, it ain't no Grizzly but it'll cut wood and I've used one similar to make a little pocket money with before so I ain't complainin', no sir, not at all.
