I know it is made by Black and Decker, it is an 8" aluminum housing with front and rear depth adjustments.
Thanks for any info.

looking for blades that will fit this saw

I just aquired an 8" lectro-saw, 12 amp. The blades are slightly larger than the current 7 and 1/4" blades. The arbor is 1 and 3/8." Not a standard size. I think if you had machining tools where you could make a new arbor hole exactly in the center you could use a 7 and 1/4" blade. I don't have access to that. Might be some entrepeneur could put something together. My saw runs great and has one good blade on it. I looked at modern saws the other day and the largest amp saw was in the 6 to 7 amp range. Try searching through tool bins at auction.

the lectro saws were from the 1956 era or so back then the 10 amp cost 90 + dollars

I Have a Electro Saw, also. Circa 1956 in the original metal case with 3 original like new blades, 2 Planer blades and 1 Nail Cutting Blade in the original cardboard envelopes. This one is a 115 Volts, 12 Amps at 4500rpm Catalog# HU-80 with a a 1 HP motor. They do not make them this good any more, also U.S made.

I just purchased a "Lectro-Saw" 6" Heavy-duty Delux 115 volts 10 amps 5500 rpm Cat. 61 1H62889 in a metal box (not sure if original). Paid $20.00 at salvation army thrift store. It works great. Was hoping someone might be able to give me info about it. I love old tools. reminds me of my dads cabinet shop.
