FREE: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $00!! (pics!) - MichaelS - 03-14-2022 Last on the list of "need to move as I don't want to move it" items. A post-war vintage Dewalt GWI 10" radial arm saw. It's more important for me to find a home for this that knows its worth and will care for it than the $$. Seriously, I have had 10 radial arm saws and this saw is the finest example I ever found of the Dewalts. GWI was last round arm pre-war casting used between the AMF and ... whoever bought the distressed AMF/DeWalt assets (sorry, I don't recall all of the lineages but the guys on OWWM can recite it readily ) It runs, the bearing are in decent shape and here's the killer... it's the 1.5HP 110v motor. (14a/7a 110/220) I'd incorrectly stated 1hp originally. Motor Plate with more details below. I need to remove the 'stuff' that's piled on top to get to a few pictures of this one. Again, I only ask that you know what you're buying, why you're buying it, and that you plan to use it as this saw is not just a vintage piece of equipment it's also just a piece of Americana that represents an era that should be remembered with pride. This saw exudes that and is a pleasure to look at as well as use. Pick up in Austin, TX. (Lakeway specifically) Best, Michael RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $300 - iclark - 03-14-2022 A good RAS with a good negative-rake saw blade is a wonderful tool in a woodworker's shop. This sounds like a good deal on one of the good ones. RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $300 - jteneyck - 03-14-2022 I have the 1.5 HP version of the GWI. It's a great saw that has served me faithfully for over 25 years. If you have room for one you can't go wrong. Far more versatile and capable than a miter saw.

Sadly, I've just too much stuff and the move being what it is (1000 miles) and likely 2 trucks already, I must pare down those things that are sometimes tools or those I simply don't use enough to justify keeping. Best, Michael RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $300 - greenacres2 - 03-15-2022 My 1957 GWI is one of the best tools i own. Like jteneyck, mine is a 1.5 HP. And i have both the 10" and 12" blade guards. Love my GWI. Hope you find another once you get out to CA!! earl RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $300 - jteneyck - 03-15-2022 (03-15-2022, 12:54 PM)greenacres2 Wrote: My 1957 GWI is one of the best tools i own.

For the price of a used one, a quality RAS like the OP's is one of the best buys someone could ever make in outfitting their shop. Slider, schmider; a RAS will run circles around one and do so much more. John RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $300 (pics!) - greenacres2 - 03-15-2022 You have me wondering John—will double check tomorrow night! Earl RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $275 (pics!) - MichaelS - 03-20-2022 price reduce bump RE: FS: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $275 (pics!) - MichaelS - 07-24-2022 Alright, this needs to go - $0 Catch - I cannot help you load (rotator cuff is messed up) and it must be gone by Saturday morning - 7/31 10am. If its still here next weekend, I am taking it to the curb (where scavengers in my area will pick up w/in the hour I am certain). Michael RE: FREE: Dewalt GWI 10" RAS - Original - beautiful - $00!! (pics!) - farmerj111 - 07-24-2022 Michael has good stuff, I'm still rocking a 12" GP he gave me years ago. I just picked up a MBC to keep it company. [attachment=43519] |
