My most recent flea market find. At first I walked right passed it. It was covered up with an old tarp. Got to talking to the owner of the flea market and he mentioned the old Dewalt saw. As soon as he uncovered it, the little saw called out to me. "Please sir, take me home". I asked the guy if the saw ran. He said "I don't know". It did run, LIKE A TOP! It even had the two Dewalt keys for the power switch! I went to pay the guy for the saw and was $12.00 short. I guess the fella liked me. He said "Thats okay, you can owe me". The trick was walking through all the water and mud just loading the saw in back of my wife's small S.U.V. I am in the process of doing a complete tear down. Plan to repaint it and build a new table. The rebuild is complete. Stripped and new paint. Bearing were great. New table and it all sits on a cool litte roll around cart. I don't need this saw and plan to sell it. I no longer own this saw. Sold it on e$%y to a fella from Dallas.
