Hello,

This on my saw close to 50 years hold, I
think. I had forgotten how heavy it is.

Outside easily accessed brushes, 7" saw,
draws 10 amps. Label says developes 1 &
3/4 H. P. Industrial rated,


Guido.

I have one of those old Craftsman 7" saws; I got it in the late '60s or very early '70s. I haven't used it for decades. The 7" blade always seemed odd to me. If I recall, the common 7-1/4" blades are too big (but, as I said, I haven't looked at it for years).
 
Hello (rossow) (mn),

I have to look at mine, I may have A 7 1/2" blade on it. It is a carbide tipped one. I did dress it up awhile back, but really needs a new blade now,

I have one of them--got it in the early sixty's , still use it after building 9 houses and numerous other bldg's and sheds
 
You might want to look in the gearbox if it has one (most do) and replace the old dried out grease.

My chop saw has a carbide tipped blade, it reached the point of time to replace.

Just to see if it would work I got out my diamond tile saw, it's just a cheesy plastic thing I bought to do one job.

It sharpened the carbide tips perfectly the saw cuts like new again and the teeth have enough left to them for a few more sharpening's before I will need to buy another.
 

I used sidewinder for years, but I always wanted a Skill 77. As luck would have it, I ended up with 2 of them within the past year. If I set down the Makita sidewinder and grad the Skill worm drive, it's like grabbing the bumper of a pickup and lifting! :lol: :lol: :lol: Different designs from different times.
 
Those old tools were all really heavy. I had a Black and Decker circular saw which was my dad's. It worked fine but couldn't stand the weight so I gave it to my son.
