A neighbor needed a little cash and knew that I needed a table saw. He sold me a sears craftsman radial arm saw for 50 bucks. It doesn't have a wood table on it or a stand.
I did a little research on it and found out that it had a recall notice on it. I call that number and they are sending me a free safety kit for it which included a table, blade guard, saw handle etc.
This saw was made in 1992 and can be used as a 1/2 inch drill press (doesn't look like it would be great at it), a drum sander, router, and surface planer.
Good machine or bad machine? I've never used one of these but it looks promising.
I need an owners manual.
