Craftsman Electric Circular Saw
Yadda:
I picked this up in an auction. I’ve had a desire to try restoring this saw to some level of use. It is a tank. Case and all it weighs a few ounces shy of 30 pounds. It desperately needs a new cord. Taking cues from prior strings here I won’t try it until I replace the cord. Feedback on other first steps welcome.
Bill Houghton:
If I recall correctly, that saw was made by a company with "flooring" in the name. The top handle will work well only if you're over the work being cut - so it would make sense to have been built by a flooring company (assuming my memory is correct; any more, my forgettory is a bit stronger).

Mine is a lighter duty model of around the same vintage. I found it in 2020 in a neighbor’s shed slated for demolition. The cord was in bad shape so I replaced it. It had some hidden treasures in the bottom of the box.

Those aluminum castings sure shine up well.
