$75? But you might get a better estimate if you indicate the year it
was built and usage it has seen.

There was a recall on Sears radial saws. Check the site below and if
your saw is included you get $100 for returning the motor & carriage.
Shipping is free.

That it or nearly so?

Those are pretty good saws; unfortunately the RAS has fallen into high
disfavor w/ the general public owing to (imo mostly unfounded/highly
exaggerated) tales of their danger quotient so getting a real value is
likely going to be difficult unless you can find the rara avis that
knows what it is that is looking at and wants it for that reason instead
of just a bargain hunter.

I'd _value_ it at $150-200 depending on just how clean it is and all,
but as Leon says and I repeat above it's highly unlikely you'll break
$100 unfortunately.

What accessories/blades did he have to round it out?

My brother's Craftsman saw was bought in 1975. I used it often. It is a good saw. He received the (recalled) replacement blade guard and it still works fine. I think he was sent new wood for the whole table top, also. I'd value his at $150-$200, but it's whether someone would pay that much for it.

If yours doesn't have the replaced blade guard, yet, get it. If you don't know if it has been replaced, the recall folks should have a record, to know or not.

Post it for $200 (with the relaced guard), with lots of pics (Craigslist?). If, in 2-3 weeks, no one buys, then reduce the price.

AFAIK, the $100 "bounty" has never been taken down. Perhaps the model
number you ran was different.

This site covers a number of the saws and many were able to be
retrofitted with a kit. For those, postage was paid IIRC for the old
parts taken off. Sadly, mine was only wanted "dead." Good saw and
provided (actually still use it now and again) service.

It was from that age of Craftsman power tools - ca late 69's early 70's
- when they still had "it." If you took time to set it up properly it
would stay in alignment and do a right fine job.

[Martin Eastburn]

My kit is coming. I've been using my saw for all these years
and have made a number of complex items on it. I plan on some
in the months to come as well.

I bought one at a yard sale for $15. Then someone said something about
a recall. I checked the number, and sure enough, it was one of the ones
being recalled. They sent me a FedEx box for free prepaid shipping. I
just took off the motor and sent it to them, and in a couple of weeks, I
got a check for $100.

I bought a Sears RAS in 1969 or so I build cabinets, a rear deck, stairs and more with it. I never had an instant of trouble with it Sadly, I sold it when we moved 15 years ago. I'm now trying to sell a small table saw and a laser compound miter saw and looking for another radial. There are a few listed on Craigslist for from $50 to $150 but I can't get a response from any of the sellers. Crazy

[Jack]

In the early '80's My wife's cousin had a Sears RAS that he was unable
to get cutting straight. He asked me to try and set it up for him as I
had a cabinet shop. Wow, was that ever a piece of crap. Several years
later he tried to give me the saw, for free.... I declined. I don't
know if early or later Sears saws were better, but I know they couldn't
have been worse. Whatever asking price you decide, I sure don't want it.

Another "it depends", but if it is in good condition don't price too low. I let one get away from me about 2-3 years ago that was priced at $375. But it was in excellent (like new) condition and it was bundled with quite a few accessories including the Craftsman shaper head and blades, a dado head, several decent regular and carbide blades. It had the metal base and the top (cutting surface) was in pretty good condition. I "thought about it" 2-3 hours too long. The guy that bought it talked the seller down to $325.

A lot of folks still like these older Craftsman machines and accessories that were manufactured before Sears quality went to pieces.

[Unquestionably Confused]

If you want a radial arm saw, those older Craftsman saws are the ones to
aim for. I have one that was in that recall for the blade guard. I got
it around 1973 and it was probably 1969-70 vintage. When set up
carefully and using a good blade (Freud rip) I could rip 2x so smoothly
you could knock down the sharp edges and finish it. The cut was like it
had been planed and, unless you screwed up and jammed something on a
rip, it would stay that way. Plenty of cast iron where needed. The
bastards would not make a retrofit kit for and instead offered owners
$100 and shipping to send the power head back to take it out of service.

The new models I see all the time on Craigslist. If they are selling
for more than $80, chances are they are still available. Nobody seems
interested in them (likely for good reason as the newer ones were
cheaply made)

I believe they were made right around the time that the Craftsman label
was OFFICIALLY changed to Crapsman!<g>

OK, just for curiousity, why would you want one? What would
be the advantage of a radial arm saw over a compound miter
saw, assuming you had a table saw for ripping?

20-odd years ago the consensus of rec.ww was that radial arm
saws were potentially more dangerous in ripping operations,
and were hard to keep in adjustment when switching between
ripping and crosscutting (because of the weight of the motor
at the end of a long lever arm). So it doesn't seem that,
even if available at a very low cost, a radial arm saw would
be the preferred solution for general woodworking.

John

[Unquestionably Confused]

Well, to answer (merely to satisfy your curiosity), you must consider
the tools that were available to the homeowner ca 1973.

Starting in the following year I began doing remodeling and additions to
our home, built cabinets and book cases, made molding and trim pieces
(yeah, still have that scary molding head). At this point I don't
honestly recall if, or of what quality, the miter saws were that were
"homeowner" grade.

I have to agree with you - at least with regard to newer RAS - about the
adjustment/alignment due to the arm. More of a problem (as I stated)
with, say, post vintage 1975 RAS that the earlier ones. I'd wager that
even today if you let me sharpen up that Freud rip blade and tweak the
adjustment on the saw, I could rip down a 14' 2x12 leaving an edge as
smooth as a baby's butt and do it ALONE or with the assistance of my
wife at the outfeed end.

40+ years ago things were different. My remodelings, additions,
cabinets and bookcases still stand and I defy you to tell me they'd have
turned out any better or worse using Fein, Festool, Jet, Powermatic, etc.

And yes, I still have all my fingers, both eyes, and no holes poked in
me by power tools. I also now have a cabinet saw, planer, jointer,
drill press, 12" compound miter saw (this is number 2), stationery belt
and disk sander and probably just about any other power hand tool one
could want.

I made do with what I had available at the time as we all did/do.

YMMV <g>

Ah, apologies, I was unclear. I meant why would someone want
one now. Certainly in times past, before sliding compound
miter saws and high-powered routers that could spin panel
raising bits existed, the radial arm saw had many advantages.

I'm just not seeing why someone would want to go buy one
today.

+1

but again, that's my position based on the current crop of crap that's
out there. If there existed today, the RAS of yesteryear, I would still
recommend it as a multipurpose tool for non-idiots (fully realizing that
they are not ideal if one doesn't know WTF one is doing <g>)

If you've got the space, it can be a major asset in rare cases. A RAS
does non-through crosscuts better than just about anything. Things like
Dados and Rabbets. A table saw and sled will work, but a RAS is more
convenient when things get to be rather long or heavy. (I bought mine
to handle some dados on deck posts.)

Here's an interesting thought, though. Would an old DeWalt RAS be
better at crosscuts than a similarly priced SCMS? I know my SCMS does
can be easily pushed out of square, but maybe an old DeWalt would make
that harder.

My money would be on the old DeWalt. Hell, the arm on those things
weighs more than most high end SCMS.

Ran across an OLD 12" AMF DeWalt at an estate sale several years back.
No room nor need of it then (or now for that matter) but I'll admit to
considering it. Going to guess that it was probably very late 50's,
maybe early 60's vintage as the arm was entirely cast iron and rounded
at the operator end. Newer ones, IIRC, had some stamped trim.

This was in good condition and the type you used to see at lumber yards.

It went out the door for ~ $45 on the final day of the sale. Somebody
deserved a "You Suck" award.

1. Horizontal hole boring. yes I did that with mine many years ago.
2. Works more like a shaper, if using a molding head cutter, than a TS.
3. Can be used as a planer, Yes I did that too to flatten a butcher
block surface with a planer cutter attachment.

I first bought a RAS in 1979 and used it to build numerous pieces of
furniture including our current bed room dresser.

They have their uses.

Up until a few years ago I was involved in an activity that involved cutting
steel plates, anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" thick. Some of the plates were up
to 12" wide.

Multiple (multiple) passes with an abrasive blade on a radial arm saw
worked great. With the steel clamped securely to the table, I could make
some very accurate cuts. I had jigs for some of the odd shaped pieces
that I needed. Multiple slow, shallow cuts were the trick.

I tried my miter saw with an abrasive blade for some of the smaller items
but the RAS did a much better job. I had much more control since the
height adjustment of the RAS determined the depth of cut and the speed was
determined by how fast I moved the blade across the material.

You just had to make sure that everything was secured properly. Keeping
track of where the sparks flew was important too. ;-)

That's a use I'd not have thought of or, if I did, I'd worry like crazy
about metal filings/dust winding up inside the motor. Did you take any
precautions against this?

I tore the crap out of an homeowner grade Skillsaw removing some 90 year
old maple flooring. Not sure if it was the ten coats of varnish and
grit that got sucked in or the remnants of the occasional nail I'd hit.

Actually, I was lucky enough to use a friend's RAS so it wasn't a
concern to me. ;-) I don't recall that he had modified the RAS in any
way.

His garage was set up as a shop almost exclusively for working on Soap Box
Derby cars. We worked together as a team, making parts for our kid's cars.
This was back when fabricating parts was still allowed.

Here is the rear axle mounting system for my son's World Championship car:

http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq121/DerbyDad03/photobucket-2663-1399345879852_zpsf3c61506.jpg

The 4 piece axle mount was bolted to the large steel plate which was bolted
and epoxied to the wooden floorboard. (The axle itself is that 3/4" x 3/4"
bar running horizontally through the mount.) All of the parts for the
mount, including the large plate were cut on the RAS.

Here's a picture of the car itself. That little slit under the helmet is
all that my son could see through. Unless you looked straight along the
top of the car, you couldn't tell if he was in it or not.

I think that people only see the angle-cut benefit of the RAS and don't
see the depth control.

[Leon]

Strange you should say that. The RAS can consistently cut at a certain
height but if your material differs in thickness slightly so will your
depth of cut. A TS will give you consistent depth control even with
different thickness material.

[Larry Kraus]

The importance of which will depend on whether you are interested in the
depth of the kerf or the depth of the remaining material.

[Martin Eastburn]

A tS is great for sheets and ripping. Cross cutting is difficult.
(try to crosscut a 15' 2x4.) Or make that a 4x4.

A RAS is great for cutoff and nominal sheet. Good for ripping.

So it depends on what you do. Make cabinets or other things.

a lot of torque on the arm and it doesn't take much to throw the depth
off.

Preaching to the choir. I have owned both, actually started with a RAS
and built furniture for 4~5 years with that RAS.

IMHO cross cutting on a TS is easier when cutting wide stock, and with a
sled probably easier. I think the most difficult part on a TS is
squaring the end of a 15' piece of what ever. Either way I cut with a
jigsaw to a manageable length and what I would do with a RAS also, you
still have to deal with long stock tipping after being cut.

Yep. Even when perfectly set up, many of them dip a little at the end

Only if it's a cheap POS (which, unfortunately, many are).

I've never had the issue w/ the old Delta 16" nor would one have w/ an
Original Saw Company model or one of that ilk. Even the old 10" DeWalt
if set up properly is perfectly adequate for the task.

I have two of the old 10 inch radial saws that are recalled , regretfully I just now found out about the retro kit that was available . Regretfully when I called yesterday and asked about it , I was told they no longer offered the kit , just the 100 rebate or what ever it is called . Where have I been all these years to have never heard about this recall till now , I read somewhere that it has been in effect for a couple of decades , always was late on everything lol . Bought one of my 10 inch radial saws new at Sears in the late seventies I believe . Bought it new at Sears for $318.00. Would love to have had the retro kit , especially the new table top . I can not imagine someone trashing their saw for 100 bucks , esp. if it still in super nice condition . I just picked up the other one a couple of days ago in a trade for a Makita 15 inch planer . Its all there but the motor just hums when you turn it on . Plan on calling Sears tomorrow and see if you can still send motors to them to be repaired and find out about cost to do so . I Like these saws that much that I will try and get it fixed rather than sell off the parts for 100 and sell it to someone who may be looking for a used one . Never checked on the price of a new one yet but I am sure they are pretty high in price . I have had some close calls concerning injury on mine but is was always due to carelessness . Its a great saw , you just need to not rush into doing some things on it . I never did like trying to rip a board on it , will stick with my table saw for that . Good luck to those who are looking to buy and sell theirs saws .

Basically it's worth exactly what you can get for it and not a penny

Unfortunately, you might have a complete orphan there. Sears

I couldn't disagree with you more. The radial arm saw is one of the most versatile woodworking tools you could own. It performs tasks that a table saw can't. It's also a fine compound miter saw. I lost mine in a divorce 15 years ago and just picked-up a 1975 at Habitat For Humanity for $85.00. It's in great condition with a professional cabinet stand on castors. I'm damned glad to have this old girl back in my arms again. Dangerous? Yeah, if you're stupid. My table saw scares the stuffing out of me.

It's worth exactly what the highest bidder is willing to pay on a
given day - not a penny less or a penny more.

There are litterally thousands of Radial Arm Saws hiding in the
corners of shops across Noth America - unused and unloved, and unsold
because the owners think they are worth more than the few prospective
buyers are willing to pay.

Generally they are worth something in the neighborhood of about 5 or 6
cents a lb right now.

Reading down the page I found this:

"Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a
publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory
recall ordered by the Commission."

Therefore, it would be wise to check out your second link

Emerson Tool will pay $100 for proof that you have disabled the saw if
it is on the recall list.

If one chooses not to disable the saw and sells it, 1) You are breaking
a law and, 2) You are probably leaving yourself open to a civil lawsuit
if the new owner injures himself and retains a smart attorney - and you
have anything worth taking...

Therefore, the best answer seems to be, the saw is worth $100 to
Emerson.

Jump on that offer.
You'll be hard pressed to find anyone to give you more than 50 bucks for
it.
Since they stopped sending out the replacement parts for it, they're not
very good tools to own.
I got the replacement parts from the recall and mine is one of my
favorite and most accurate saws. But the thing was downright dangerous
before installing the replacement recall parts.

That a government agency attempts to intimidate people with threats
does not mean that the threats have any substance. Read the law and
it's on about "the manufacturer or any distributor or retailer of the
product". Someone who owns the saw having purchased it from Sears is
certainly not the manufacturer or distributor and generally speaking
would not be regarded as a retailer (see the big flap about "the gun
show loophole" for an example of the effect of this distinction in
another area). If the matter really concerns you then pay a lawyer to
look into it. It will cost you more than the value of the saw though.

Speaking of recalls.

How many times do I need to call Sears over the recall of their
folding stand table saw?

Summer is a coming soon, and now is when I remember that it is
under recall, and I still haven't heard from them.

I did read the law, and I didn't see anything like that at all.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/2068

Looks pretty clear to me that it applies to individuals as well; where did you see language
that restricts that prohibition to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers?

Actually, I have a lawyer looking into it right now. It won't cost me anything, though, as the

news:qcvsddtvig5rdmfgl...@4ax.com:

Just heard back from my son a few minutes ago.Here's his reply:

OK - so short answer is no, you can't sell the saw. For the other parts...

Application of “any person” – Yes, it applies to natural persons first and foremost. But in
some contexts, it certainly means not natural persons. A juridical “person” only needs a
capacity to sue or be sued. So a corporation is a juridical person; so is civilly-forfeited
cash. Where any person is modified by “for purposes of this section” it usually means to
include juridical persons, but it does not indicate either way by itself whether it is including or
excluding classes of persons.

Change in remedy – I think the subsequent remedy is the sole remedy; it could also be that
they stopped making the blade guard. It also says remedy has changed, not alternative
remedy.

Can you sell the saw? I don’t actually know, but I’m still saying no. If you want a real answer,
you need to talk to a federal consumer protection attorney. Pragmatically speaking, you will
spend more talking to an attorney than the saw is worth, and it’s tough to beat your already-
up-$100 position unless you can sell the saw for a lot more than I would pay for it =P

LOL just to name the obvious one.. I do not know how much has changed
since I worked at a dealership but it was not unusual for a vehicle to
have 2~3 outstanding campaigns/recalls when one drove up on the service
drive. Oldsmobile was pretty serious about the dealers checking for
outstanding campaigns on every Olds that came in for service, this is
whether the customer knew about a recall or not.

I recall the first year that the Ford Probe was introduced it had 50+
items that had to be checked and or corrected before the dealers could
sell them. Talk about rushing a product to market before checking all
the safety boxes.

[DerbyDad03]

The Takata airbag *inflator* recall (massively mistakenly referred to as
an airbag recall) caused similar issues for many used car dealers.

If someone traded in a vehicle that needed the inflator replaced, they
couldn't resell it, even at auction, until the part was replaced. For a
long time, inflators were in such short supply that even live customers
had to wait for parts to come in. Customer owned vehicles jumped ahead
of used cars.

We were all set to buy a used Honda from a local dealer, but they couldn't
get an inflator for it, even after we waited three weeks. We eventually
moved on to different dealer that had the same model that had been
traded in *after* the inflator had been replaced, so that dealer turned
the vehicle around just about as quickly as it took to clean it up for us.

[Leon]

Yes this infiltrator issue is out of hand and being handled incorrectly.
The company that makes them went bankrupt. But IIRC is reorganizing
and building new parts, but not fast enough. This is where
manufacturers should pitch in go together to build a plant to take up
the slack.

Then again the odds of being killed with an infiltrator going off pales
compared to other causes of automotive deaths. Remember the Firestone
fiasco a few decades ago?

There is a another current fiasco building up regarding tires for
motor homes that have been failing prematurely for many years.
By Goodyear who have been in constant denial.

[Leon]

That might a tough one.. Since the investigation covers tires 15 to 22
years ago it may be blamed on dry rot. Some manufacturers do not
warrant their tires past 6~7 years just because of that. I recently had
a set of Michelin tires, on my truck , replaced under warranty because I
was not driving them enough to wear them out. After 5 years they had
PLENTY OF tread but were beginning to show checking on the sidewalls.

Motor homes will be a dicey situation since few really get driven enough
to wear the tires out. Veeeeery interesting.

Looking back on Firestone, IIRC the main/majority of the failures were
happening in the middle east where the tires on SUV's were being run
under-inflated to get extra traction while frolicking in the sand dunes.
They went back to the high speeds on the highways to go back home and
the under inflated tires over heated.

On Wed, 25 Apr 2018 07:44:58 -0500, Leon <lcb11211@swbelldotnet>

Really?!?

Outstanding, here in calif they just tell you the tires are outdated
and that legally you have to change them so you won't be held liable
in an accident. They will not service your tires if outdated. My last
set of tires on the MH were Michelin, they type you can cut new treads
into when the originals were getting close to bald. Now I feel like I
totally got screwed.

took place in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. An additional
