This table saw came from yard sale in Round Rock Texas (Austin area) in August 2016 and was purchased for me by a customer who I was doing some other machines restorations for at that time.The pedestal stand was bought by another customer of mine who found it up in North Texas very rusted up to all hell from sitting outside a few years later after he bought this table saw from me all restored. I got this saw given back to me in July of 2023.

Repainted in the original Craftsman Powder-Bronze color using a True Value XO-Rust "Bronze" paint product that is a dead on match. Saw has the original factory "grid-type" extension wings on it repainted in the same smoke grey color they came with. The pedestal stand cast out of North Texas and was the older Model 80 8-inch bench saw version with the motor mount behind the saw and not mounted to the back of the saw like this version bench saw is. I slightly modified this stand to fit this newer much nice motor mount version on this bench saw.
This saw has a green link belt, machined and balanced arbor and motor pulleys I added. Saw is running a new CMT 40-tooth 8.25-in. blade that is a very nice quiet all chrome plated blade.

This table saw is going to a new owner here in Harrison Arkansas who works with me at the United States Postal Service.
