Comments:
I found this old girl out where I am getting those 40 or so vintage Craftsman stands and tables. I was actually there for a bracket, and he gave me this one, but kept the emblems, which was fine. I call her Big Red due to the fact she now has a
custom rip fence(x 2), a 1.5 to 3 hp motor, a router table extension, on an angle iron stand because shes a big girl. And at present, another 10" saw turning the other direction on the other end.

Comments: I called it scrappy at first. Rough, rusted and locked up.

Comments: I knew this was a personal keeper build for me, so I used gloss black paint. Here shows the new bearings new paint, and all metal contact surfaces rubbed down with Zest bar soap for the slick factor

Comments: Going back together. At this point I had a newer, probably early 90's 10" Craftsman saw that bucked on me, Mod# 315.228390. Most parts are now on a 1945 frame.

Comments: This is my BIG RED tonite. Almost finished with upgrades. When done, will have a 63" x 27"+ table with a router attachment on 1 end, a 10" saw in the middle, and a 10" saw cutting in opposite direction on final end. Have to beef up the stand. Lol.
