Seven years since my dad gavie up his mid 60's R1150 Type A Black and Decker / Dewalt Radial arm saw it is finally back in action. I've been searching Craigslist for parts and finally found the same model available in Saint Paul. My dad's had a broken mount for the blade guard and the one I found had a bad motor but the housing and blade guard were both in good shape. For obvious reasons I didn't feel comfortable using it with the blade guard held on with a band clamp.
I have to say I'd forgotton how much dust this thing throws out the back. It does cut nicely.
