    Older Table Saw - Opinions Needed!

    Okay so assuming its not irreversibly broken or damaged, is the price good? It looks like it has a whole lot of rust to it...Also from what I've gathered this would a be a +1950-ish model?

    Getting a wireless signal out to my attached garage.

    Might I offer a very simple yet effective alternative? I like to use something like this for jumps for hardwired internet when I don't have time to drag ethernet cable. Its SIMPLE and easy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122233

    Tools do as well, they get alcohol rub downs to keep them free from any extra grease / dirt. No need to really, I'm the processing guy (i.e. blue collar guy) for a bunch of scientist.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Problem is, I'm not maintenance, I work for Recipe and Development. Additionally, the maintenance tool boxes / shop are detached from the "clean" areas (Clean areas are hair nets, salt mats, safety glasses, etc. just one step below a sterile room). My tool cabinet is in the middle of the...

    These "were" rated to be top quality from consumer reports and a gift. Everything else works great, the drill however does not. I'm going to settle for "less" and go for "better" quality though.
