Comments:

This table saw has been in the family since new. It was my Grandpa's, then my Dad had it for a while, and now I have it. These are pictures of how it looks today. The paint is original. The differences from when my Grandpa used it are the addition of the bottom drawer in the stand and a new motor.

I used this saw for a couple of years. During that time I replaced the wood table extensions and the fence. I used a block of aluminum on the left side and a larger MDF extension on the right. I also extended the back so a Vega 30" fence would fit. I've since upgraded to a 10" contractors. The non-standard miter slot, 1/2" arbor, lack of cuting depth, and the fact the table would work itself out of alignment were the main reasons.

Also pictures are some of the old blades (a couple of them even say craftsman on them), including an old dado blade.

When I was a kid, this was the one tool my Grandpa wouldn't let me use. If I needed anything cut on the table saw I had to go get him. I also have (and still use) a 4" jointer, 14" drill press, and bandsaw from my Grandpa.
