Any wood workers out there?

Was given a old Menards table saw and it is missing the fence. I have tried looking up the model number on the web but it has done me no good.

Anybody know who made table saws for menards in the mid 80s. sku number is 240-2402 if that helps.

Thanks,
Jon

Popular Mechanics have several articles in their 1984 publications on table saw fences of that era.

I would look for an aftermarket fence. Most saws could use a fence upgrade. I have one from Kreg for my bandsaw, but am unsure if they make one for a table saw.

I just got the same saw. I can't for the life of me how to raise the blade. Everything on the front of the saw appears to just adjust blade angle. Am I wrong?

Mine got buried in a recent garage rearranging but I believe if you pull the handle out and turn it it does on motion and if you push it in and turn it it does another.

I tried a quick look, Did not find anything, but perhaps this site might be helpful in some way.
