Hello Everyone,
                          My name is Jayson and I am new here, but was bit by the old vintage tool bug 2 yrs ago. I am Medically Retired from the
Army. My hobby is Old Craftsman Tools. I just picked up my 1st Delta yesterday. It was a 1937 Delta Table Saw. My favorite Craftsman Tool is Table Saws. Just like the oldies.

Welcome to Tool Talk, Jayson!
Old table saws are cool!

Welcome Jayson!
I've manage to collect a bunch of Craftsman power tools, bought most of them new and used them and now them and me are vintage! Then would find them too cheap to pass up or they were not working cause of a simple problem got them for next to nothing! I do prefer a good cast iron or aluminum frame and table so many new fangled stuff from the far east just don't compare or last.

Thanks, I wished I new what you meant. I have only found one 1952 Craftsman * " Table Saw with stand and motor for $25. LOL, Everyone one else wants a pretty penny and with stuff missing.
I found A 1936 Craftsman 471 Bench Saw on CL for $45 and that was last year
