Maybe someday I'll drop a wad of cash on a dream saw. Maybe not ... this
20 year old Craftsman 10" is still running fine. In fact, I'm posting to
the list today about making an accessory for it.

My neighbor has a older Craftsman cast iron topped table saw that was given
to him by his father in law. He tuned it up, bought a Biesmeyer fence for it
and uses it regularly. They are a good saw in general. The stock fences are
poor compared to what is available so that upgrade is a must. It is a better
saw than the $500 saws available today.
