Thanks George. I wasn't aware of the history behind Craftsma
tablesaws. I checked, and unfortunately my freebie saw wasn't made b
King-Seeley. Nevertheless I am still happy with it, especially at th
price of $0.00. I'd say that it is easily worth at least a 1000 time
what I paid for it...
My old-new saw's model number is 11329950. The first three digit
evidently specify the manufacturer. 103 would mean King-Seeley. 11
means Emerson Electric. Their is also a field on the label that say
"Code B67" - from what I read, this refers to the date of production
or 1967. So, my guess of about 40 years old was close. Emerso
Electric took over manufacturing Craftsman tablesaws in the earl
1960s.
I hadn't realized this until you inspired me to look under the hood
but its motor can be wired to run at either 120 or 240 volts. It say
that it runs at 3450 rpm, 60 cycle, 120/240 volts, 13/6.5 amps. But
didn't see a horse power rating - does anyone have any guesses? Mayb
3/4 or 1 hp?
I think that I'm going to mount some wheels to it to make it mor
portable. Although it is lighter that my Grizzly cabinet saw, it stil
takes two people lift it
