Why did I bring this one home?

I'm going to put a new plug on it.[/QUOTE]

Why, You think the plug is fouled, :monkey:

Nice find, Never heard of one of them before.
I looked at Mike Acres site and couldn't find the year.

Make sure you have that plugged in to the GFCI (aka GFI). The metal case can give you one he11 of a whack if a wire arks.

Great to have next to the stove for quick small cuts.

I didn't say I was going to put a plug "in" it.

Well, the plug is pretty rusty and bent so I guess you could say that it is rather foul....

Like I said, I had never seen one before like this, so I thought I might find out some more about it.

My guess would be late 60's.

:agree2:, but I'm just guessing. Massive proliferation of plastic in the 1970's would prevent it from being much later than that, and it looks fairly modern, so I'd put the maximum range at about 1950 to 1975, with post 1970 being pretty unlikely.

It's called "CAD"...
Nice looking saw.

:agree2:

And boy don't I know it. Wasn't 5 minutes after I posted this thread last night, I went over to ebay just to look. Well within a few minutes there I now have a Jonsered 490 on the way, just to compare it to my Partner 5000 and Poulan Pro 325!

This will make 6 in the last 2 weeks. Then theres this guy at work who wants to get rid of a Homelite 410:bang:

That's an interesting, pretty, and cool saw. Great find. I've never seen one.

 

[rms61moparman]

Is it as loud as Skils old circular saws???

MAN they could ring your ears inside a room.

 

[Urbicide]

Anyone got a good guess to as when it was made.

Hi Mark,
My guess is 1980.
Best wishes,
Bob

My guess would be late 60's. Make sure the ground is in good shape as those old all metal tools will eat you alive. Ask me how I know.

They were made before our modern zip code system came into use. The address on the label reads "Chicago, 30". I would guess 50's to early 60's.

 

[deezlfan]

Two digit postal zone codes were introduced in 1943 and were phased out after the introduction of the five digit Zip Code system in 1963. Five digit Zips were mandatory by 1967. The Skilsaw company changed it's name to Skil Corporation in 1952. So that would at least give us a possible start date.

No it's not that loud.

Funny how many times that the things that get discussed here appear on Ebay a short time later.

But then maybe it's just me.

Well that will give you some idea as to what it's worth on the open market.

 

[Urbicide]

Small world. Another one.

This one is missing the plastic brush cap. Touch that uncovered area while it is running and you will get to feel 110vac. The plug on the short cord coming off of the saw is called a twist lock. They used to be popular years ago since they would not pull apart as easily as a regular cord will. The extension cord on this one is missing the grounding prong on the male end. These saws, as pointed out earlier, are quite capable of lighting you up with their all metal construction, and need to be properly grounded and should be used with a GFCI for safety.

My Grandpa who just recently passed at 95 1/2 years old always told me to stay the hell away from doctors! (he pretty much did)

I guess when I get ready I'll just have to work out this CAD on my own.
