Got this from a guy in Sherman TX. His father was a woodworker/ tool collector. He had this one and a later model BD/DeWalt. So I don't know how much he used this. It turned out to be mostly a clean and paint job.

Not a lot of info on JCPenney, except that this is clearly a Rockwell saw, which is why I couldn't pass it up. Also note the little "r" on the caster locks. There is a casting on the arm from 1963, and another on the other arm of 1964. According to a JCPenney manual it is the Rockwell Plus 105, a 9" saw. However, there is plenty of room for a 10" blade. This saw will mainly be used for dados and rough cutting lumber.

I could not stand the black paint, my shop is dark enough as it is. Also, the gray makes it look a little older than the sixties.

There is no table yet, this will be mounted into a bench, but the cabinet will still be exposed.
