Nice score, keep it.

You won't get that much for it and you will make more with it that you think. If it has the geared fence, the same as I had on my older Craftsman 100, that's not a bad fence. You pull out the gear knob for gross movements then push it in for fine tuning. The issue was the push down lock acted on both the front and rear of the table edges unlike the newer fences which only lock on a rail on the front. If you can get it working accurately you will like it.



That's a rare find, NOS for sure. If you do set it all up and find out you hate it, THEN you can sell it as almost never used. When the buyer says "Why are you selling it?" make up something believable or put a huge bandage around your thumb....? :wink:

rusty bottom .....

The rust only on the underneath portion of the table and trunnion motor mout tells me that the tio was somehow protected with Boeshield or other substance. A complete tear down will be a good idea and not all that complicated except ..... realigning the trunnion back to being parallel to the miter slots. You do have the advantage of being able to sit the saw on it's back end and thereby access both sides of the top to measure as well as tighten and pry at the assembly for alignment, a BIG advantage!


I like what I see so far and think you'll be happy with the saw. Just remember to pull out the micro adjustment knob BEFORE sliding the fence. Wire up the motor to a switch and plug before you mount it to test it first. White wires do not go to the switch for a 120 operation, only the black ones...... line voltage from the wall comes in, switched power goes out to the motor.

Yes

1 HP is equal to 746 watts:
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=how+many+watts+us+1+HP


Watts is equal to the VOLTs X the AMPs


So, 120 VOLTs X 8 AMPs equals 960 WATTS
then 240 VOLTs X 4 AMPs equals 960 WATTS


A 120 VOLT circuit with a 20 AMP breaker will carry 2400 WATTS.


A "3 HP" electric motor can not run on a 120 V 20 Amp circuit. That rating is bogus. Even a 2 HP motor will strain on a 20 AMP circuit.
Then is there is difference between starting AMPs and running AMPs.
If you want to get a true reading of the power, get a Kill a Watt meter:

I fixed the typo!

Is your first key stroke supposed to be a 1 and not an exclamation point,,,lol.


The data tag reads:


V=120/240
A= 13/6.5


What does this tell us,,,lol

It means that on 120 V it will draw 13 amps and on 240, half of that.

The WATTS remains the same at 1560 watts. :vs_cool:

 

[woodnthings]

yep, on a good day ...

1560 divided by 746 = 2.09



Doesn't that run a tingle up your leg? OR make your hair stand on end? That's shear raw power! :surprise2:
