Todays find.
« on: July 24, 2015, 11:48:04 PM »
Well today after visiting the Habitat Restore i was headed home and spotted some garage sale signs. I started followed some signs that matched each other. As i made my third turn in my quest i spotted a old Craftsman table saw with a free sign on it. I know a King Seeley made saw when i see one so i pulled over and started looking it over trying to figure out how i was gonna haul it back to my house which was about 5 blocks away. My van is full so the only way i could haul it is on my trailer hitch carrier. A fellow came out of the garage and offered to help me load it up. Well i got it home and it is larger that my other C-man table saws. It came with two fences, a miter gauge and one table extension. The saw has a cast iron table and cast iron extension
. It appears to be a 8 inch model with a double ended Craftsman motor that runs at 3450 rpm. Plugged it in and the motor runs good, but the arbor sounds like it could use some fresh bearing in it. I may pull the the motor off to use it for something else. i will try to get some pictures soon. The double ended motor has a arbor for a 1/2 inch wire wheel or a grind stone on one end. I am probably going to part the saw out over at the  OWWM site. I don't have room to store it at the moment, nor do i have a use for.  I just bought 2 more old gas engines and have to find space for them. One of the motors is a B&S / Homelite generator and a Johnson iron Horse. I like other old stuff besides tools.
