Broke out the old Craftsman! This saw is a 1952 accordimg to Sears many years ago. I wanted to get parts and they told me, it was too old-- a 52 model! So I made the part I needed; it has been running on home-made parts for at least 45 years. I bought it new in late 1953 after the REA finally came to the hinterllands of the lost world! WESTERN North DAKOTA The reason I brought it back out is safety! My 8 year old granddaughter has an interest. This is the safest power saw I have ever seen. I have put my fingers against the running blade many times. It runs an electromagnet against a spring steel plate, not a motor. The strokes are around 1/8 inch-- so skin easily moves that far! The pictures were takne about 1/2 hour ago. I was pleased to see it STILL WORKS! The R in the one pictture wass cut a little while ago, just before photo-time! Dose anyone have an older one that does>
