interesting craftsman table saw

[toolguy1000]

this was a $300 CL offering that is clearly overpriced. but i was wondering if anyone had ever seen the dust collector that it's sporting? the c-man i recently resurrected has a motor that shares the same left end shaft cover, and an unusual flange around the pulley end of the motor that i took to be for a belt guard.

The belt shroud bit is intriguing... The blade guard looks somewhat like a Shark, but not quite... Probably modded OEM...

I've seen that blower attachment on the old Cman saws before...one came on an old model I bought for parts. Can't tell you how well it works...the idea is kind of neat, but I think I'd rather have ALL the motor power for cutting and use a separate blower motor for DC.
