How old is your Tablesaw?

[Jim O'Dell]

Man, I was WAY OFF!! I got my saw 8/25/02!! Only 5 years old. Maybe it's just worked me double time!! Jim.

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.

Well Glory be, I am not the only one with that era Craftsman table saw, bought by my Dad. He bought the one I have used somewhere around 1955 to 1960. Here is a pic.



It works really well as the center of a routing station. I bought a newer saw, a 2004 PM66, and love using the old one as well.

That must have been the newer style, it has the tilt on the side. Mine you pull out on the main crank to do the tilt which is a problem, there is no lock on it. I have to keep the tension bolt very tight to keep it from moving.
I will have to say yours looks a lot nicer then mine, you extension are really nice looking. I should redo mine now that I know how it should have been done.

4 year old Delta contractor and thinking of a slider

With the average age of these saws it's a wonder how these companies can stay in business.

I have a Y2K Unisaw

[Greg Mann]

Have a ShopCraft tilting table saw that was fairly old when I was born and I am now 60. I inherited it from my Dad many years ago, but, I must admit that I hardly ever use it and have been pondering some way to take advatage of its tilting table, perhaps as a small disc sander. It is pretty much a POS but it has sentimental value in spite of the fact that I nailed my thumb on it as a kid when I reached for a cut off on it before my father could stop me. Luckily, it was coasting to a stop and did not have much energy left. How do you spell SawStop?

Thinking back now , I got this unisaw in 1972 ,and it was old when I got it. It has always run perfectly. I now have other saws and use it mainly when I do not want to change a setup. I needed space bad and put an ad in the paper recently and people thought it was to old. If only
more tools were built with that kind of quality.

Mine is a 4 or 5 year old Frankensaw--i.e, a ridiculous little $99 Delta 13 amp jobber, embedded in a 3' x 7' workbench, with a . . .
