Default Rockwell table saw with stamped metal top?

Does anyone know if Rockwell ever made a table saw without a cast-iron
top?

They made one with a stamped metal top thin stuff like autobody metal they
also made a composit top somethine black looked like hard plastic but good
quality stuff. These I think would have been in the 70's and early 80's
about the same time they had the light green power tools they were real
cheap made consumer models. Russ.

If it was a Peace Sign Era (mid-70's/mid-80's) machine
anything was possible.

Got a picture? Got a model number?

Yep. Aluminum in 9 and 10, and an oddball 8 IIRC.

Consumer-grade stuff or perhaps lower. The old low grade was Homecraft here,
Beaver in Canada, I believe.

Neither. It's advertised in a local buy&sell. After reading the
comments here I think I'll give it a pass. I'm just looking for a saw
to use for finishing work at my brother's cabin but I don't think this
is it.
