    How old is your Tablesaw?

    Mine had it's 10th birthday yesterday. PM66. 5HP. I suspect we'll have another 25-30 happy years together.

    I think a little older than my teeth, but I'm not sure

    No, really, about 15 or 20 yrs. It's my next tool to replace as it's a crftsmn.

    I don't know. It was either 1995 or 1997. I cannot remember. I do know I got it after my beloved dog died. I took the day off from work and LOML and I traveled over the state border to get it tax free.
    So to answer your question ( about time, huh? ) I would say my Uni is either 10 or 12 years old. All original equipment.

    Mine's less than 2 years old. I just finished my new shop earlier this year and replaced my contractor's saw with a Uni.

    You don't want to know.....

    I have an 8 inch Craftsman that was bought in 1953 by my Dad, so I guess that makes it 54.

    I bought my Craftsman saw used in 1967. I have a new motor and a Sears after market fence that make it an acceptable saw. I have been waiting for some heavy duty old iron to come my way at a good price. I also have an old Sears (don't remember if it is Craftsman) 7" table saw that I haven't used in 30 years that is probably from the 50's.

    Had a chance to buy one on good condition...but it had a 3/4" arbor which would be a pain, and bought a nice Uni for less...and sold it immediately to a friend.
