This is an old Craftsman Model 100 table saw. It is definitely not restored, but is in use as a table saw as well as a general work surface daily. I replaced the old motor with an updated 3 hp 110 v Dayton unit, and I installed a motor controller with heaters in case of an overload. Long live old well made tools !!!
I’m a former woodshop teacher, cabinet and furniture maker, and avid tool collector. I’ve been collecting antique woodworking tools and restoring old Craftsman and Delta machines for almost forty years. I love the quality of the old Delta, Craftsman, Walker Turner, and other woodworking machinery from the 1940s through the ’70s. They just don’t make tools like that anymore and no one is going to be restoring woodworking tools purchased at big box stores fifty years from now. You can see my OldWoodworkingTools.com website about hand tools.
