Hi.
First, I'm happy to have found this forum. There is so much information here! Thanks to you all for your knowledge and expertise.
I'm not a pro wood worker by any estimation, but I'm always learning! I have been looking for a decent table saw for my vintage travel trailer restoration business. I've read through lots of threads on what to buy or not and had decided that I should buy a used, high quality cabinet saw. Well, even a used Delta or Powermatic cabinet saw can set a guy back a big chunk of change. I thought that I might be able to find a deal if I was patient enough. I think I got a deal, but it wasn't on a high end cabinet saw.
I bought this old Craftsman 10" contractor saw for $80.
It is a model 113.298720 with a serial or code date of 7237.P1291
Any ideas as to its age?
It cleaned up pretty well and I've read here that these old saws can be made very useful and reliable. I think my first upgrade will be a good fence.
Any recommendations?
