My old Craftsman 12" table saw I believe was made by Darra James (Toolcraft). As these are considered somewhat rare it should be of interest to those who wonder about those kind of things. I have used it regularly for the past 30 years since I purchased it from a fellow in Avon Lake, Ohio and it's still going strong. The fence was somewhat cumbersome to adjust and square up with its rack and gear traverse mechanism and was finally replaced this year. Overall though this is a great piece of equipment. The arbor has had two new sets of bearings in that time - not my favorite job to replace. I would buy one of these again before most any other brand as they are truly made to last a lifetime - and you cannot say that about a lot of things today. Nomenclature "S156" is punched into the colored "CRAFTSMAN" label on the front of the machine. All details match the description for the Darra James model 95 12" table saw in their parts list/catalog.
