I've been rebuilding my 1950's Craftsman table saw in my "spare" time.

I should have taken a "before" picture, but like I said, I've been picking away on it.

Anyways, I had the motor rewound with new brushes. Welded up a stand with wheels and a handle. Added an extension table. Wired up a front mount on-off switch. New bearings in the blade housing. Put some levelers on the table and gave it a paint job. Only thing left is to add a fence that I ordered off of Amazon.

Yeah I know.... with all of the labor I could have bought a new saw. The funny thing is that I do have a new, bigger DeWalt table saw in the barn.

The only difference is that one is for wood, and I have this one setup for cutting metal.
