Hello my fellow GJ'ers!
In anticipation of doing my Epoxy-Coat floor this summer (thanks Epoxy-Coat and Ruger Lady!) I need to clear some space, which means getting rid of some tools on the cheap!
Here is what I have. If you are interested, please PM me and we'll work something out. Priority will be given to those that can remove them from the garage first
1st up:
1952 Craftsman/Parks 10" radial arm saw
This is a very rare radial arm saw and it was one of Craftsman's first forays into the radial arm saw market (second only to the nearly impossible to find Mooradian). This saw is built like a tank and can be considered industrial quality. It can be wired 110/220. It is in excellent overall condition and everything works. It also comes with the original anti-kickback pawl, blade guard, and arbor wrench. The only thing this saw needs is a good, modern negative hook carbide tooth blade to bring out it's full potential.
Price: $50 (nope I am not kidding)
2nd:
1950s Craftsman 6" jointer with cast iron pedestal base
This is a standard 6" Craftsman jointer. It comes with the pedestal base, 3/4 HP Craftsman motor and semi-rare pulley cover. the cast aluminum piece that attaches the fence onto the jointer is cracked and will either need repair or replacement, but this part can be easily found as these jointers are common. It is missing the fence hold down plate in the back (again, another easily found part) but other than that it is complete and in relatively good condition!
Price: $50
3rd:
Homecraft Jig/scroll saw (note: retirement lamp has already been sold and saw has been cleaned up)
This is a fine little 16" scroll saw that dates to 1953. I just recieved my 20" Craftsman scroll saw so I have no more need of the Homecraft. It is in near mint condition and the tags are the cleanest I've ever seen for a vintage tool. It also comes with the sometimes-hard-to-find pulley guard. Also has a brand new Dayton 1/4HP motor on it.
Price: $40
4th
1950s Atlas 3160 cabinet style table saw ( know the picture is kinda lame, but it is the most current one I have)
This has been a real labor of love for me. It is a beautiful saw. I have been working on its restoration since last year and it is time to cut it loose. The cabinet has been de-rusted, primed and painted, as well as all the internals of the saw. The fence has been restored. The arbor has brand new sealed bearings. It needs just a few more final touches (very, very easy) to be fully restored...including motor refurbishment, table cleaning and extension wing cleaning, some new bolts...that's about it! It comes with its original miter gauge and blade guard (although no splitter or guard attachment).
Price: $200
5th and final
1960 Craftsman Radial Arm saw (saw only, no base)
This is a power bronze Accra-Arm radial arm saw that has been modified with a later Craftsman motor and bearings. Honestly, it works out well. The saw turns on and spins up very nicely. Doesn't have a guard that comes with it. In need of some attention. I did spend some time on the rails and bearings and it is gliding smooth now with no play so it is very serviceable. Comes with an extra set of bearings for the carriage.
Price: Come and get it
As you can see I am not trying to make a killing, just pass on some good old vintage American iron. The money I receive from the tools also helps fund the garage build so if you want to see more updates, buy some tools
Please let me know if you are interested in any of the tools and can pick them up or get them shipped! The tools are located in Denver, CO. I can also provide more pictures of any tool you are interested in, just let me know.
Thanks for looking!
