There might be some good ones, but the Craftsman RA saws I am aware of have
just stamped sheet metal for the tracks the saw head moves along. Far too
flimsy to stay aligned, you can feel it wiggle side to side badly if you
just push on the handle. And even if you could keep it aligned, and rigged a
long rope so you could only pull it straight without any side force, it
would probably wear rapidly.

Anyone have any experience or knowledge of Craftsman Radial Arm saw
regardless of the year, though not extremely ancient? The Craigslist ads
in
my area have a good selection of those selling the Craftsman saw. Some are
listed as older but working great, one is a newer digital model, etc. but
I
was wondering why so many Craftsman models are being sold or are the
sellers
really just not using them anymore. Since I'm in the market for a radial
arm
saw, I thought I'd consider one for sale, since I'm not ready for anything
expensive just yet.

Any input greatly appreciated

Thank you
