Thanks guys! Bob, it opens now. Sorry, didn't mention that it was an estate auction. You can bet I'll be keeping an eye out for more! Mick, never having been 'allowed' in a 'guys only' class, I wouldn't have had clue about that.lol!! I thought it was the auction co' mistake. The blade that was in it did not have pins, big blade though. Ron, Thank you for the link, I had a quick look but will have to take more time on it later, lots of info in there and I'll have to dig to find what I need. I've had a closer look at the saw and its a steel stand, not cast iron but still very heavy! Also, the stand, saw, motor and work light all seem to be original Craftsman items. Seeing that the blade motion is completely up and down, I'm thinking that I'll have to give a try at cleaning it up and seeing if it will work. What's it going to hurt when it only cost me $10. lol!! Forgot to mention, its an 18 inch. Christine |
