This one runs like the day it was new. It very definitely has the
original factory name plate: SKIL SAW in all capital letters, I
don't have the serial number here.

One of the fellas at work brought in a strange piece. It is a
Skil Saw Model J. The largest blade you could put on this saw
would be 5". The shoe is about 2 1/2" wide. There is no blade
guard. It does not have a trigger switch, it is an on-off ball
ended toggle. Yes, this thing is dangerous by today's
standards.
It is a full barrel saw. The castings do not match a Model E or
a
77, but the diameter and length are within fractions.

Does anyone have any information about this critter? I have
sent
off to Skil, but have not gotten any response.
I have a similar saw made by "Power Electric Tools" that I
haven't
gotten to yet other than to cut the frayed cord off.
