Demonstrating my old saw by cutting a 6 foot 4x4 piece of wood in half. Can anyone tell me 1960s or 70s?

  • @GarrardAT6 Thanks much for the info!

  • @JPa311979 I've just been doing a little internet research...From what I can work out your Saw was probably made between 1972 and 1982. (Plus it's 70's orange...haha!!!)

    In 1972 McGraw-Edison acquired the power-tool division of G. W. Murphy Industries, Inc.

    In 1982 'Shopsmith Inc' bought the company and continued production under the name 'Benchmark'

    It's a nice old Saw! Good strong motor! Better than today's modern junk...Great job on the switch!

    Mind your fingers on that blade!...haha!!!

  • @GarrardAT6 I found this exploring my garage attic/crawlspace when I was a kid. when I found it the old switch was missing and bypassed, so the motor ran if it were plugged in. When I was under 6 years old my grandfather used a Black&Decker saw which I also still have but I never remember this one being used. I just had to install a momentary switch the one I found in slightly smaller than the original opening but it's stable enough. The saw has a very solid feel to it, but a small left grip.

  • Nice saw! I have one similar.

    Personally I would say 70's due to the plastic body...I have a drill from the 60's and the body is all metal...But what do I know...haha!!!

    You spoke...I think? I like this! :)
