[Richard G.]

I might feel guilty buying it at that price.
NAW, I would be happy.

Richard G,

It seems a little tight at 4. I really don't know what that means, but it sounds good on the video he send me.

I will probably look at it and see if I can improve it's operation,

Guido.

 

[wingnuttx]

Guido. Give ya $24.00 for it right now. No questions asked. Come on. Help a bud out ok? Wingnut
BTW. I think you did well. Great hearing from you. Wingnut

 

[old]

You couldn't give me one of those. But back when I was 17 I watch a guy cut 3 of his finger off with one and ever since I have not wanted to ever try to use one of them

 

[Stroby]

Great saws, I've had one since I was a teenager learning how to work with wood in Industrial Arts class. I'm 70 now. I suspect it has a 1 hp motor. Just like everything else, you have to respect them. Enjoy

 

[guido]

Old,
I understand, when one developed an adversity to a tool that can hurt you badly.

I think though,as I told my students, that the best safety device, is a careful man,

Guido.

 

[guido]

Hey wingnuttx,

I'll $26 any day, a dollar for the gas to pick it up,

Guido.

 

[old]

What was odd in this case was the guy did wood work all the time and up till that day had never had a problem. It sure did mess up my date with his daughter also

 

[johnofnewhaven]

Old your comment about the date with the daughter cracked me up! I mean that in a good way. That's funny

 

[old]

I spent most of the date at the hospital due to what happened

 

[johnofnewhaven]

The big question is did you get a second date?

 

[old]

I had been dating her for about 6 months at that time and yes got many many more and got past 1st base with her many times

 

[johnofnewhaven]

Well then it wasn't all bad. Just wasn't great for her dad.

 

[Steve A W]

My Grandpa had one like that.
It was a great saw. My Uncle hauled it
from Indiana to Colorado after Grandpa passed.
The pos Craftsman saw my Dad bought in 1977 was
donated to a rummage sale because no one in the
family wanted it.

 

[old]

Even took her to sort of very fancy dance thing at her dads country club. He was a College professor at teh same college my dad was in Cleveland MS Delta State U. That was back when I had my hippy look and hair half way down my back

People get strange ideas about things. I'm constantly amazed at the number of people who state without reservation that a buzz saw run by a flat belt is certain death to anyone who even looks at it, much less uses one. Yet these same people use skilsaws, chainsaws, smoke, drink and drive, like to have a good buzz on before deer hunting, etc. People are really odd animals.

 

[JK-NY]

I have one very similar that was my grandfathers. Mine is not on a roller base but is permanently mounted. You got a great deal on a great saw.

 

[Traditional Farmer]

Just like everything its up to the user how dangerous a machine or tool is or isn't.

 

[Patsdeere]

Complacently will bite you every time. Sadly seen it a couple of times in the work place. Almost bit me on a forklift one time.

 

[Geo-TH,In]

My dad had an old Craftsman with motor out the back.
He installed a 3 phase motor to saw. Nothing could stop the dull blade. It would smoke through anything.
Only problem, he ran the blade too fast and damaged the bearings.

 

[davyfireball]

I have one I used it to put windows in my house. Make window trim and have ripped 2x6 to make different size dimensions . That said that scares the daylights out of me. Im very careful watch where I put my fingers. I worked in a major factory handling sheet metal- 80 ton presses - worked on cars . Im 70 years old and I like my fingers very much. You just have to watch what youre doing ALL the time.

 

[guido]

Davyfireball,

I have a smaller one 8 blade I use on top
of my wood working tool bench.

Someone invented the push stick to keep
their fingers,

Guido.
