Maximum Blade Diameter: 8 inches w 1/2" diam bore.Ĭomments for Craftsman (King Seeley) Model No. Machine Specifications: (1952 Craftsman Power Tool Catalog)ĭado capacity 15/16" wide with dado insert The rip fence was made of tempered aluminum which was carefully ground for trueness. The saw features a large 20" deep by 17" wide cast iron table that was grooved on both sides for a miter gauge. It was also one of the first Craftsman saws to feature a rip fence with one lever that locked both the front and back of the fence. This saw had one wheel that controlled both the angle and depth of cut from the front of the saw. Notice that there is only one hand wheel while most tiling arbor saws had separate hand wheels for tilting the blade and for adjusting the blade height. This floating motor mount automatically controls the belt tension for the most efficient operation. This resulted in smoother operation, easier tilting, and greater protection of motor from sawdust. The motor was mounted on a special support on the bench behind the saw. See more ideas about vintage craftsman, craftsman, vintage tools. This saw featured what Craftsman called the "Floating Drive." This "floating drive" was featured in Craftsman catalogs as being a new type of motor mount that stops transmission of motor vibration because there was no mechanical connection.

There are also more expensive fences you can buy, but at that point it makes more sense to buy a more expensive table-saw with a better fence.Īnyway, it should be possible to find (on craigslist) a decent craftsman 113 belt-drive table saw, with all parts working (except possibly missing the blade guard assembly and mount) for not much more than $100.Known as the Craftsman "80" 8-inch Tilting-Arbor Bench Saw, this Craftsman Model 103.22160 8" Tilting Arbor Table Saw was made by the King Seeley Corp. Craftsman 10 Inch Portable Table Saw Manual. The least expensive one that you can buy is probably this one:īut it is not the greatest fence because it locks at both ends which means it can be a little tricky to get it to lock square every time. I would count on replacing it if you find yourself using the saw a lot. With regards to the fence, the one in the pictures is very hard to work with. When it comes to craftsman 113, I much prefer the belt drive units. Is the fence going to be an issue? How much are they to replace/upgrade? Is that even an issue right now at my current level of noobiness?Īre you looking for flex drive specifically for some reason? (2 of your links were flex drive). I basically just want to build some tables and desks and see where I go from there. I've read in more than one place that the fences on this particular model aren't that great. Really looking forward to starting into woodworking.ĮDIT: I've been looking further into the 113. My only issue is money, and the general cost of the parts and tools for the job (watched a video on arbor bearing replacement and it seemed to require a bunch of things I didn't have). My general level of hands-on-ness is probably medium-low, but I'm willing to put in the extra effort to research fixing up a used saw. There's another craftsman 10 inch for $60, but does that sound suspiciously cheap?Īs you can probably tell, I'm in pretty big need of a second opinion. Lots of people think the 113 is good, but how does this one look?ĭoes it have the necessary attachments? Is that arbor bearing going to be an issue? I'm also not sure what the seller means by the blade showing "some runout when it slows down."Īnd is $200 a fair price? The thing is pretty old, but seems to be in excellent condition, especially compared to the other one being sold a few towns over. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and have been reading up on what to look for in a table saw.
