    Pre carbide! That thing must be older than my grandpa! Just joking. Does it have the instruction sheet with it? Some of the early blades had 1/2” arbors, what size is this one?

      I've used these old Craftsman blades, back when they weren't old, and they were decent blades, as I recall. Still got a couple out in the garage; I think mine were fine cut and ply blades though. These must be way back in the 70's or maybe 80's I think. Back then about most frequented tool place I went was at Sears. No Home Depot or Lowes around here and the multiple discount lumber and home suppliers offered very little as I recall.

        Looks like 60's or early 70's.
        No carbide in sight!

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          Opened everything up ----- the blade fits my arbor fine. Everything is in amazing condition.

          My neighbor walked over with another blade in his hand ------ the 4" moulding (shaper) set!!!

          (not sure I'd use them ---- they scare the crap out of me).

            I have several sets of the 4” Craftsman moulder’s with a good selection of cutters. They should be safer than using a router as they turn your table saw into a horizontal router.
