Craftsman Cabinet Saw Rehab - doobes - 05-29-2016
This has been a long ride.
About 5 years ago, I bought this sad sack off of CL for $20:
I went through the disassembly:
And realized one of the handwheels was not original and the other one was broken. So a set of handwheels was bought from Grizzly and machined to fit:
And after a significant delay, the rehab began in earnest. I treated all the internals with evaporust and then painted everything up:
Once the paint was dry, it was reassembled:
At this stage, I decided I wanted a base for the unit that looked like this:
So first came the base:
Which was painted and the saw mounted:
And after another long time, the remainder was built and the final product looks like this:
So over 5 years from start to finish and a solid year on the actual rehab itself.
Whew. I think I'm about rehabbed out, for now

Wow, after that really nice write up with detailed photos the only comment you can make is some dude with dial-up is going to be "pizzed"?
I thought it was a great post and great restoration and contained some good ideas for storage. Thanks for posting it Chris.

LOL!
It's Herb, the resident curmudgeon, he's harmless
Thanks for the good words.
I hate to think how many hours I've got in this thing. Probably would have been cheaper to buy a new saw.....

Nice job. Do you have dust collection for the router?

Not yet. I'm planning on putting a hole in the back of the cabinet with the router. I've got a Y dust collection fitting with a 2" branch that I can plumb into the hole.
