My grandpa's old table saw finally gave out after 40 years

It was last Tuesday when I went to cut some oak for a bookshelf project I've been putting off for months. The motor just started smoking and quit on me. I've had that saw since 2006 when my grandpa passed it down. I guess 40 years of use is a good run for any tool. Now I'm stuck with a half-cut board and no way to finish it. Anyone else have an old tool die on them mid project?

Wait, didn't your grandpa buy that in the 80s though?

Got a buddy who picked up a vintage truck from his uncle, swore it was garage kept and barely driven. Turned out the odometer was busted for like a decade and the frame was basically rust dust. Cost him more to fix than the truck was worth.
