I went to the auction today and there was an ancient 8" Craftsman table
saw with an extension table and a 4" jointer, all driven by the same motor. I walked away from it, but it was a thin crowd and when I came back it hadn't sold and $35 was too much of a temptation. So, a 103.22160 King Seely saw, 103.23340 jointer with some small nicks in the knives. It's all heavy as hell. Do I leave this on the curb or drag it into the shop? What upgrades or maintenance? I have a sparse woodshop with a RAS and hand tools, I usually cut plywood with a fence and a small circular as the RAS has a limited rip. -- pentapus |

Drag it in and set it up. It has to be better than a stick in the eye!

Unless you build a good-size outfeed table, you'll still be cutting (full-sheet) ply w/ the handsaw, but they're a decent little saw...and the price was right, for sure. :) http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=17827 http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=10746 I had the jointer's 6" big brother as my first jointer some 45 yr ago...other than being a little short on the tables and the outfeed table being somewhat of a pain to adjust as it's mounted on four studs instead of ways, it's a very solid little jointer. Certainly up to most anything of the current import generation as to what it can do for the size. -- |

I usually enjoy projects like this, it's fun getting a tool going again especially when there's nothing to lose. Many of these projects start out with giving the tool an indepth cleaning. A nylon brush and old toothbrush will come in handy, and some sandpaper may be necessary. Metal bristle brushes are useful, but can scratch surfaces.

I believe that qualifies as a you suck deal!

Back in the day - these were the go to tool for any trim carpenter. The tools still do the same job. -- ___________________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . Dan G remove the seven |
