I no longer use my 1986 Craftsman table saw. It has cast iron top, belt drive, 1 HP motor (110/220), cast iron web wings and needs a new home! I would rather give it to someone for Christmas. It will need a set of handles for tilt and elevation. (Old ones were salvaged for another "brainstorm) Replacements are $19.99 for pair, through Sears. Other condition, recipient can't sell, but must give it to someone that isn't kin, when done with it. I assume NO LIABILITY for its use. You may nominate anyone, :eusa_prayINCLUDING YOURSELF, to recieve this saw. Simply sent a short note describing need (either lack of a saw, or to replace a bench top saw, etc) to SAW c/o Bruce Wrenn, 12512 Holly Spings-New Hill Rd, Apex, NC 27539.All notes must be received by Dec.14,2006. Selection will be on Dec 15, 2006, decision is by ME and is FINAL! Recipient is responsable for transportation from my house. Think, do you know someone who could use a saw? Recipient's name will be posted here on NC Woodworker after 9:00 PM on DEC 15th, health permitting. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Bruce

Cool Bruce. That is very good of you. I can't say that I have anyone to nominate, but I would like to say it is very big hearted of you to do this.
Bruce,
I have a set of tilt and height handles I removed form a junked sears table saw.
They are black plastic 4 1/2" wheels with handles.
They look like they will fit a 1/2" shaft with the ground flat area.
They get screwed in from the end to secure them.
If these will work I'll drop them by so the new owner doesn't have to purchase a set.....

I think the US Mail is the issue. I'm guessing that you are offering this on other forums. If not, everyone on this site would have equal access to PM's or email as snail mail.
:eusa_whisThis offer was and is only on NC Woodworker. The trouble with pm's is that I don't always read them. A pm/e-mail to me is like leaving a package beside the road and hoping it was picked up by the right person. Plus, if someone REALLY wants this saw, how hard is it to write a note? Knowing the caring people here, I thought that they would have the best idea of someone in need. Bruce
It is the week before Christmas and all through the shop, not a nomination, not even one was seen. I'm sure that everybody thought that somebody would nominate someone, but no one did ( I did get one PM) It saddens me, no makes me HAPPY, to know that everyone at NC Woodworker and the people they know has a saw better than my old Craftsman. I didn't receive even one nomination for my saw. Ron, if the handles are still available, I would like them Now I will try the Triangle Woodworkers news letter to give away my saw. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Bruce
