After a few years of using an old 60s Rockwell Delta bench-top model 8" contractors saw,http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=136438&stc=1&d=1262014412
I came across an upgrade at the right price.
Then, As it really needed a stand, my father let me use an older Herc-u-lift stand he had on the shelves. A pain to put together with no instructions, and it took a little modification for everything to fit right, but it works.http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=136439&stc=1&d=1262014412
Saw is an older Craftsman with a 1hp motor, belt driven. I haven't found a model # yet, but as I clean it up and do some restoration it should appear. (I hope)

First things are cleaning the saw, making an good plate or three, replacing the worn belt, and looking for a fence. Also, looking for table wing extensions or I might make my own.
All in all, even with its limitations at the moment, it is larger and more accurate than the old one.
And I couldn't turn it down for $10.
