Darra James is best known as a brand name used by ToolKraft Corp. for some of their nicer machines. Darra James machines were sold by Brodhead Garrett, Kindt-Collins Co., and others. However, there is a tablesaw in the Photo Index labeled as "Darra-James Corporation, Waterbury, CT." The most likely scenario is that Toolkraft bought out the Darra-James Corp. and continued to use the name.
