Picked up this old Craftsman saw at a thrift shop. Original case with a few attachments. Was able to plug it in before leaving, runs smooth and no ozone smell. Don't think I got hurt, besides I could a better one than what I have. Good deal or not?
The bushings on which the spindle runs on those are widely separated, so it's quite stable - a good thing.
Still, the old saber/sabre saws are limited; I've owned several over the years, and they're limited to soft or thin woods. But if you've improved on your current saw, that's got to be a good thing.
I have one that's in that same vintage that is still running strong. I like it.
Hello, John. That saw would have followed me home, too!!. Does it say Auto-Scroller anywhere ? Regards, Lou
Have not seen anything like that, have not yet gone through the accessories yet.
I love the art deco look of those old Craftsman jigsaws!
