I surprised but pleased to learn that the wear from hard use is likely

do in a long day.



Bill - you could pay $100 for a 50 year old Craftsman 10" table saw and
likely, the arbor bearings would be just fine for years to come. You
worry
too much.


Thanks Mike. Those things must be make of steel! ; ) It seems like when
people are looking at old saws that's one of the things they check.
I guess that mainly leaves the motor to go bad..

You say I worry too much, but almost half of the time I go through the
Wendy's drive-thru they screw up my order! In my experience, entropy is
NOT on my side... Murphy, too, was a victim of entropy. ; )

BUt But,50 years ago Wendy's did not exist or the people working there.
