   Very cool!  I love the tools from that era, and having the catalog is icing on the cake!

   You can find catalogs, manuals, and photos of almost any old woodworkiong equipment at OWWM.com, a great resource. It is very rare that I can't get some information on an old machine from their site. Please donate to them if you find their archives useful, it's all volunteer.John White

   I got it for $25 on my local craigslist. I took it apart to clean the bushings and table trunions, cleaned and waxed the cast iron top, and installed a new blade. It cuts great, the blade, fence, and miter slot are all parallel with each other (which is a good thing because there is no adjustments). The depth of cut and miter is adjusted by moving the entire the table, the blade is fixed.

   New tools are just that...new. Old machines have a history and a story to go with them. Sometimes its well known, like my 1976 green powermatic 8" jointer that spent its life in a production cabinet shop. Sometimes it not so well known, like the 1938 powr-kraft table saw. To me, a 70 year old saw in basically new condition, sitting on a homemade wood stand, makes me wonder about its owner(s) and all the different things that were built using that saw. Granted I can't cut a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" MDF on it like my big TS, but I will use it for smaller stuff because it is a cool little saw from a long gone era, and it enjoy it. 

    So how's that for a long answer to a short question?
