    DeWalt radial arm saw, model MBC.

    This was my father-in-law's saw, which he purchased when he built an addition on their house back in the 1950s. He custom-built the bench for the saw. The bench is 8' long.

    I had the motor rebuilt by EL Wheet in Framingham sometime in the 1980s. I used the saw twice after that.

    The saw is complete as shown, including the Freud sawblade. All controls and adjustments work, but the back/forth travel is a little stiff. The rubber sawdust tube is kind of crumbly. And sometimes the motor starts up in reverse.

    I see many YouTube videos from collectors who restore saws like this, and I'm impressed that it's capable of several different machining operations in addition to just sawing. Best would be if this could go to someone who values these machines and who loves to restore things.

    Pickup is in Northbridge MA, which is a couple towns south of Worcester. It's in my walkout basement in the back of the house.

    Make an offer! Proceeds will go to EMGW.
