My new year is starting out right.

Hi, I'm Steven and I am a vintage tool addict. It's not like I needed another table saw, but when I saw this I couldn't get there fast enough. I was looking on craigslist, which I do far too often, when I clicked on an ad for two table saws that showed a picture of a modern Dewalt contractor saw. When I opened the ad I saw this.

It was assembled when I got it. I had to do a little take down to get it down the stairwell. Has anybody seen handles like this on a cman cabinet saw before? Funny, it was only about twenty minutes away from me. It fired right up and ran real quiet and smooth. I love this thing. Best part-only $55. It was a good day.

This saw will make an awesome addition to my growing fleet of craftsman power.

Hey Fonz nice stuff! HAve you checked out Red Leader's thread yet?

 

[Fonz]

I also have another 8" and a 10" cman table saws of the same vintage not shown that are for sale just in case anyone needs one...or two Also, the older bandsaw and the scroll saw are available.(I can't post in the classifieds yet) All this is over about the last year and a half. The jointer I actually found in the pile at the scrapper.

P.S. I'm always looking for parts/additions to add to my addiction so don't hesitate to contact me if you have something vintage craftsman that you think I might like. Especially parts for the cabinet saw or a drill press table lift.

So what do you guys think?

 

[Fonz]

Bluebolt-yes. His garage thread is where I first saw this style cabinet saw. His garage is absolutely awesome.

I'm fairly certain that is one of the most sought after Craftsman table saws.

Are you asking about the blade adjustment handles? If so, I don't think they're stock.

Here is a similar saw on Vintage Machinery.

That thing is awesome! Great luck on the find. I've never seen the exact-i-cut before. What size blade?

Thank you. Its a 10" blade. 1 horse motor and cuts oh so smooth.- before I had to partially dissassemble it that is.

Yes I was. The ones in your link are what I thought they should look like. I tend to think mine might be stock though because the center circular chrome knob on my handle looks an awful lot like the handles on my other 50s cman saws.

I assume the angle and height adjust handles match? I didn't look that close the first time I opened your pictures.

I agree that the center lock down knob on the one picture I opened at least looks stock. Or at least stock to some saw from that era.

Yes they do match. Unfortunately, I only have one of the lock down knobs.

I only have one of the lock down knobs.

Darn things are always missing. I need two for a 1943 Delta Unisaw.

Interesting. I don't recall seeing that Craftsman/K-S badge before. I wonder that the dates on it are.

These are awesome as well as the table saw.

If you are wanting to sell the tools you might want to post where you are from. If I was close I might would be interested.
