I just bought a used but in beautiful shape old craftsman radial arm saw
and here's what I've learned so far,
It's heavy, I won't ever be moving it alone again.
It starts with a key.
It purrs like a kitten.

Now I just need to learn everything else about it, particularly in regards
to keeping all the parts I was born with attached. Anyone know of any good
books available that cover these saws or have any personal advice they want
to share?

I believe the saw is from around 1959, it came with some accessories, most
original and new in the box. If anyone's intersted I can post some pictures
in abpw.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,
Adam

Do a search on DeCristiforo and Radial Arm Saw. I think his RAS book
is something like "The Magic of your Radial Arm Saw" or similar. It is
a pretty good book although like all the other RAS books I have seen
says nothing about the Craftsman model. I think his is written around
a DeWalt RAS. I like DeCristiforo's style but that may be because THE
book on my Shopsmith was written by him.
