New tablesaw

[wjbzone]

I just got this tablesaw at an auction for $25. Cleaned it up and works great. I don't know what kind of guards it might have had on it. (patent date 1938)

Is that picture before or after you cleaned it? How old is it?

[wjbzone]

That's after I cleaned it! .

I soaked it down with WD40 for a day and loosened the rust layer enough to get to this point. The table top is in good shape.

I don't know how old it is other then the patent date. There was a receipt in the motor capacitor housing that said the motor was replaced in 1962.

I don't know what the cart it's mounted on was for.

That thing'll prolly run for another 70+ years. What's the hammer for, bump starting it?

'Rekd teh $25 bucks is $25 bucks!

Take a look at some of the woodworking magazines and you can find plans to build it into a nice big table to make the work surface larger. I like the idea or recyceling things, and it gives you a lot of pride when you'r finished. That's why many of the builders are building CNC's, just for the sheer joy of construction and seeing it perform.

I just bought a bunch of old Fine Woodworking magazines on Ebay, and one of them has plans for a table saw made from partical board.

That saw is from the days of heavy metal. Guards???
The cart was probably because it was a jobsite saw. Can you imagine lugging that around?

Just joking. It should work just fine with a table built around it.

Just thinking about it. Did it come with a rip fence?
With some of the aftermarket fences the clamp bar can be set up to tie into the extension table and rip any width you have the bar for. One place I worked at we could cut 10' sheets of plywood. They had a 16' x 8' table built around it.

I used the hammer to work on one of the wheels on the cart. (Roller bearings need some work).

The table has some holes on the sides (one side visible in the picture). I am thinking I can use the holes to help align an extended table top.

I'll have to see whats available in fences and clamp bars.

That's the best part about this saw! You don't need a table. Just start the work to the blade and then pull the wagon!
