My Dad recently gave me his 10" table saw. It is a 1950's vintage
Craftsman, actually well built with a good, gear driven fence. It has had
a
hard life - I disassembled lawn mower engines on it when I was a kid, and
I
don't think my Dad ever cleaned the gook out of the trunnion area. But, a
good cleaning up with take care of that. He even built a rolling cabinet
under it that doubles as a dust collector.

Anyway, I have a Jet 10" contractors saw. And I was thinking, what
operation could I set up the Craftsman for that would save me time so I am
not swapping out blades, etc... on the Jet. Dadoing comes to mind, but I
don't think the Craftsman is up to that task. What else would you all
recommend for a dedicated unit?

Thanks,

Bob



Don't sell it short on it's ability to cut dado's. Unless it has an
unusually small motor it should dado pretty well. Other uses for it...
hmmmmm... well, with a set of torches (one of my favorite tools), a mig
welder and a little creativity, you could probably turn it into a dedicated
mortising machine. Well, ok, with maybe a little more than just a little
work, but think of how you could brag about the stability of the base of
your dedicated mortising machine.

Or... you could just send it to me...
