Be sure you can get parts for that thing, including blades.

My father-in-law picted up one similar to that Craftsman. A Delta that
I was planning to pry away from him and restore. That is until I found
it impossible to get any parts. And those things are seriously heavy.

Thanks for the input on my earlier post. I'm going to look at this one tomorrow:

It's a Craftsman, vintage 1940s. Owner says it weighs about 100 pounds and is almost vibration free.
I'll run some 6/4 walnut through it and see how it behaves. Anything else I should be looking for?
