This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Dewalt 10″ Radial Arm Saw 7744 & 7749 Operator's and Parts Manual. This manual contains information. I think it's a late 50s or early 60s saw. It was made when they were still all cast iron, and while it doesn't have the classic lines of the round arm models, it's probably just as good. It should dado just fine, although you will want to take your time and probably take some very light cuts first until you are used to using the saw. Also bear in mind that the bearings in the motor and carriage are 50+ years old and may or will probably need to be replaced. The arm bearings can probably just be cleaned up and reinstalled, but the motor bearings will probably eventually need to be replaced. It's not difficult but you need to pay attention to how it comes apart, and be careful with the wiring, because if you mess up the relay, you'll never find another one. Lots of info over at owwm dot org, and there is a DeWalt specific forum on Delphi. Is this one desirable? I really just want it for dadoes, it isn't much more expensive than buying a dado cartridge for my SS. (and much easier, though awfully more dangerous.)It is a model 1200 saw, made between the years 1962- 1964 and swings a 9” blade. The frame 230 motor is convertible 120/ 230 volt and at 9.6 amps. Is about ¾ h.p. These saws had plenty of power for a dado blade or shaper blade as well. I have restored a later version, the which is nearly identical but swings a 10” blade instead. Don’t get hung up on blade size, in the typical cabinet shop an 8” one will suffice for your daily work quite well. Focus should be on replacing the table and a general cleanup of the saw, my restoration was of a unit ready for the trash heap but I was determined to bring it back to life and it has rewarded me handsomely ever since.

General blade alignment is next, here is a method I use to accomplish that: I recommend you get a blade with a hook angle of no more than 10 degrees, the series is a fine choice for this saw and will crosscut and rip with equal aplomb. Unless the additional blade is a Forrest, take a pass as it’s probably a generic tablesaw type. There is a whole new world out there about the many uses of a radial arm saw, I suggest you visit the and read the FAQ’s before you do anything with the saw, the reputation as being “dangerous” is totally undeserved, and a little education is in order if that is what you’ve been led to believe. - Beachside Hank Improvise, adapt, overcome; the essence of true craftsmanship. I have ruled this out. It only has 12' travel and if it is not one of the special ones then it is badly over priced. ![]() ![]() There are several Craftsman 10' saws closer to me; so I will pick up one of those. Thanks.Actually it has a 13” crosscut with a 9” blade, there is a method to safely increase that length, but you’re going another way. Opinions vary as to just when the decline in DeWalt saw products began, my own is anything after the late ‘60’s, but even then they still trump anyone else’s saw. Just be advised the Craftsman series will require frequent realignment to give satisfactory results- very frequent in fact. Also too, check the model # at this, there is and has been a long- time recall event going on with this saw, to my knowledge the DeWalts of the same period have never had a recall event. In closing, I’m just voicing a muse here; a person wouldn’t buy a car just to go 30 feet to the end of his driveway to fetch the mail and drive back again, so it always astonishes me that the same single minded use of the radial saw is likewise implied. It is capable of so much more than a limited application. - Beachside Hank Improvise, adapt, overcome; the essence of true craftsmanship. IMHO the 'classic' DeWalt RAS's were the ones with the round cast arms. The smaller 9' MBC (1/2 hp motor) and MBF (3/4 hp motor) began the home woodworking craze following WWII. The larger GW (1 1/2 hp with a dual voltage switch) was sold to contractors and used as a job site saw. The removable legs are attached to the saw with wing nuts and bolts.
