I don't have and have not seen an old catalog like this BUT I think I might have one of the table saws that I see on the cover of that catalog.

I don't know about when it was manufactured but I have owned it since 1959 when it was given to me by the mobile home park manager where I lived in Biloxi, MS.mrhart wrote:She's a beauty! What year is it from? I have an old craftsman I'll get a pic of as well.
The motor failed long ago and when it did I was not smart enough to keep it and get it repaired. The pulleys are singles so it was setup for a fixed speed.mrhart wrote:Thats awesome how old it is. The motor on mine is mounted separate waith a belt drive. It might have a 2 speed pulley, can't remember. I know it has the original cratsman motor. Its about 2 hours from here, but I'll take a pic the next time I go up there.
I used it for years to do things like small boxes, picture frames and toys. I even cut a few 2x4s to build a storage shed along side our mobile home in Biloxi, MS. That shed survived Hurricane Camille so I might have built it right.bffulgham wrote:Yeah, I have a Craftsman saw that looks like this as well. Got it from a neighbor years ago after her handy-man husband passed away. I was looking at it several months ago, and it appears to use an 8" blade. Kind of an interesting old saw.
