Craftsman Table Saw - Info Needed

[jaggedscars]

Good afternoon!

Found this on CL.

Anyone have some info on this? Looks well build. Possible restoration project? I'm sure I can get them down to $25 with the current condition.

Thanks!

Looks like a tilting table, instead of a tilting arbor. What that means is if you want to cut bevels, the whole table tilts up at an angle instead of the blade; they work fine for straight cuts but cutting bevels is a pain. Also, with such a small table it's only good for cutting small stock - you're not going to want to run a piece of plywood through it.

Having said all that, if you can get it for $25 it could be a fun project, and for light use it would work okay.

Long-C logo - mid-30's to mid-40's.
Interesting that it has a decal instead of a badge.

I think LB-1911 is correct. Depends on what you want it for? A small resto project/saw would be fun - if you are trying to get a full table saw out of it you should keep looking - the old CMan saws are a dime a dozen

This^. Maybe just for something to do but if you actually need a table saw and prefer cool old vintage, keep looking and find one with a tilting arbor instead of tilting table.
