270176 John Ruth <johnrruth@h...> 2020‑03‑23 Re: WTB: 18" or longer back saw
Ken,

Since Sears subcontracts Craftsman brand tools, publishing the Sears model
number will let the Porch identify the OEM and possibly turn up an exact
replacement saw!

The first digits, before the dot or space, of a Sears model number are a code
for the actual manufacturer.

Here’s a link to a table of Sears manufacturer codes for tools:

http://vintagemachinery.org/Craftsman/manufacturers.aspx

Then we’ll tackle the question of who made the saws furnished with that
manufacturer’s mitre boxes...

So, let us know the Sears model number, please.

GGG's,
When my family and I moved here from Michigan some years ago, I think
the saw that came with my miter box (an 80's vintage Craftsman) failed
to make the move.  I went to the Borg and bought a "miter saw" but it's
only 14" and just not long enough to get a decent stroke in the box.  If
any Galoots have one they can part with, I'd be willing to pay a fair
price for it.
