They made one with a stamped metal top thin stuff like autobody metal they also made a composit top somethine black looked like hard plastic but good quality stuff. These I think would have been in the 70's and early 80's about the same time they had the light green power tools…

If it was a Peace Sign Era (mid-70's/mid-80's) machine anything was possible.
Got a picture? Got a model number?

Yep. Aluminum in 9 and 10, and an oddball 8 IIRC.
Consumer-grade stuff or perhaps lower. The old low grade was Homecraft here, Beaver in Canada, I believe.
=============== Yep MY original Tablesaw was a Rockwell 9 in and it did have a sheet metal top and egg crate extention wings... I purchased in in the early 70's... Had a direct drive motor aslo...

Neither. It's advertised in a local buy&sell. After reading the comments here I think I'll give it a pass. I'm just looking for a saw to use for finishing work at my brother's cabin but I don't think this is it.
