Old miter saw refurbished - "Compa 250 Export"

Fantastic restoration.

-- Scott Smith, Southern Illinois

Nice job!
It’s great to see “Old Iron” brought back to life. One more item not headed to the land fill. KUDOS!!!

Why don’t more chop saws have the handle up top like that? It would make switching hands so much easier without needing to cross over – one of the main ways you get hurt using one.

That’s great to see, good job.

Thanks Jocks, I’m glad you like it!
Jimmy you are right, the handle is really useful.
Two years ago I bought a new miter saw …. but does not compare with it, on every front!

I thought it strange that no one rejected the color …... thanks for the “A” .... Dennis eheheheh!

Thank you so much for your attention.

I proppebly wuoldn´t have used red but over all you did a good job with the colour mix
and letting the wood stay clean made it looks even better :-)

if it has been a gift to a WW lady I maybee wuold have added the ++ .... :-))

take care
Dennis

a gift for a lady…...... ahahahahah :-)) great !!!!

will mean that I’ll put the nail polish when I use it….. :-)))))

don´t use turtlewax ….. we don´t want it to slow down :-)

Well, I didn’t want to say it upfront, but when doing a restoration I am a fan of returning to the original color – something about preserving the tool’s identity for the next generation to come by and say, wow look at that ancient thing! Regardless, the restoration is awesome, saving a good tool from the scrap pile is always the way to go.
