Here is mine. The restore blog

Unfortunately I'm still looking for a home spot. Right now it lives under my table saw, but thats not where its going to stay. If you look in the lower right hand corner of this photo you can see it.

Glen, that's a nice looking rig. I always try yo look at plywood saw handles as laminated gun stocks. They are an upgrade. I love the greenish Remington laminated stocks.

 

[donwilwol]

yea, some of those should be on Daisey BB guns

I have to admit I still use mine. I have a 30 year old Makita. Still accurate and fast. It sits next to my RAS.

I may be to old and set in my ways, but if I had to get rid of power tools one at a time, the table saw would be the last to go. Without a doubt.

now see, I would have listed that miter box as a useless tool had I not seen bandits post.

I'd say it was $5 well spent.

 

[donwilwol]

and I'm just over the border in NY and didn't know about it.

Kevin, thanks for the link. I'm going to have to make a trip out there this summer.

David, why would the channel substrate change the cut? I guess i don't understand.

Mike, I had to go look. My Langdon doesn't lock at off angles but that wouldn't stop you from cutting at one. Its not like a chop saw where it will jump around when you hit the switch.

I just through a sacrifice piece down if i need it.

I plan to do the same, just haven't got to it yet. So far I've just been clamping it to the bench.

Brad, I had a grinder once with 2 pegs in the base so it sat in the dog holes. I can't think of a reason that wouldn't work the same for the miter.

I like this question, because I wasn't sure how I was going to mount mine either.

 

[donwilwol]

i let it set crooked.

 

[donwilwol]

Christ, the saw is worth $20. It looks newer than mine but pretty close. You'll probably find some info on my blog.

 

[donwilwol]

Grant, I don't know, but I hope you find out mine is worth $500 as well. I will probably have to sell it.

So I'm in the basement of an antique shop. I see a miter box just like the one in the original post(although a bit dustier) including the distton back saw. I walk back upstairs and say to the proprietor, "how much are you asking for the old Stanley miter saw?". He responds "^its not marked ?". "no I say". "Well, lets go look".

He looks it over, picks it up, moves it around, throws his hands up in the air and says, " how about $20".

I didn't have the strength to dicker.
