My father and I put a new motor on my grandpa's table saw this winter. Grandpa Walt got the saw in '52 or '53 because woodworking was considered good physical therapy for him after a hard fight with polio in the last epidemic of that disease. The saw has been passed down to me now, the third generation. It's my main saw and it works great.
