ReStore Delta Saw
« on: September 20, 2022, 08:22:26 AM »
At one of the local ReStore outlets, don't remember the price.  I don't need it but this 3/4hp saw looks heavy duty although looking at that cord I'd do some rewiring.

Radial arm saws sure do take up a lot of real estate. My dad had one(I'm sure he still has it) when I was growing up. He would turn that motor/blade 90* and runs stuff through. I'm sure he was afriad of the kick back as I know we were run off in case it did.

Crazy how many cheap ones come up on Facebook and craigslist. If I had the room I'd have one of these industrial ones as a conversation piece as the little miter saw is way more storage friendly.

Great quality saw, but for some reason they have gone out of favor. They were a staple in many shops back in the 1960's and 70's. I'm guessing that there were too many accidents and lawsuits associated with that type of saw, and their popularity waned. 

I confess that the radial arm saw scares me the most of all the heavy workshop saw designs. It's crazy what damage and injury those things can cause.

I love my radio alarm saw. 

They don't bring much at auctions.  I did buy one and have used it a few times

Tuned into WTOOL and goes off whenever there is an auction nearby.

I keep it next to my Sawsaw :))
