Dewalt Radial Arm Saw GA Restoration - Part 5 - Ep.1 - Clear Coating Base and Starting New Tabletop

I picked up a very old Dewalt Radial Arm Saw (RAS) Model GA. It is a 14" 230V 3HP Single Phase Saw from 1964 or 1965 based on the S/N.
Last time, we straightened the Left Back Leg and bolted them onto the Pallet. We didm ore deRusting on the Base of the Column, the Table Bars and their Hardware, and finally the Blade Guard.
Today, we will Clear Coat the Base, Redo the DEWALT Logo, and start working on the New Tabletop: The Front One to be exact. Next time, we will finish it and adjust the Tabletop.

You can move the fence to get more cutting capacity if needed and it is easy to replace yes.
