Saw Updates
The Table Saw I know you’ve all been waiting for (lol) updates on my vintage 1947 Craftsman 113 table saw. I’m happy to report that, after disassembling and cleaning the saw, I was able to put it back together and get it running again! In the process, I installed: A new power toggle switch on the motor housing A safety ON/OFF switch for the front of the saw (where you stand) An 8-inch thin-kerf combination blade A 6-inch motor pulley to replace the original 3-inch pulley (this was recommended in the manual since the motor is a 1750 RPM motor, not a 3450 RPM motor) An adjustable linked v-belt Some larger caster wheels for the base of the saw The rip fence provided some extra challenges, mainly because I accidentally broke the cam/clamp handle that holds the fence in place....
