    I think the previous owner over tightening the screws was about the only reason I took the whole thing apart.

  2. Older Craftsman contractors table saw repair

    I'm doing a quick and dirty renovation on a late 70s/early 80s Craftsman belt driven contractors table saw I bought off craigslist.

    Most of the parts look in good shape but the tilt control lead...

    I'm not familiar with this specific trailer but it is common for the drop gate to fold flat forward onto the bed to allow loading overhanging materials. You might want to give it a second look.

    A couple of comments about Echo. I see the pros here climbing in trees with them. For bigger saws I mostly see them using Stihl.

    The Borg sells Echo but they can't discount off list. My local...

    In an upcut, the spirals are like a screw or drill. They pull the chips out but are more likely to splinter the upper edge.

    In a down cut, the spiral pushes downward and chip are pushed into the...

    There is no doubt that you can grind until the scratch is gone. However, I wouldn't remove even an extra thou just to get rid of it. The more you remove, the more likely the table is to warp after...

    I suggest beer. Drink one and check to see if it still bothers you. Repeat as needed.

    It doesn't appear to be causing any problems. Any "fix", aside from maybe filling with JB weld, might...

    If you get the angle right, the work won't get wedged in between the fence and blade. I agree with the others though, it is probably a bad blade.

    I'm not sure you did. A t-nut is a captive nut. You hammer it in from the back side. To remove the base, just unscrew 4 socket head cap screws. I wouldn't use t-track since there is no need to...

    The groan is probably being caused by the blade being wedged side ways.

    The incra router systems don't use rails so they wouldn't conflict with a table saw fence. You might want to remove the positioner base frequently though. That would only take a minute or so if you...

    If you have any doubts about handling it, I would split it at the riser. It will be lighter and much less top heavy. If you are trying to put it in an suv I would also split it from the base if it...

    It will cut a little faster but saving 15 seconds ripping some wood won't make any real difference in your woodworking experience. It might help your ego a little.

    Not the deal of a lifetime.

    Unless you intend to resaw thousands of board feet of hardwood, the upgraded motor is worth nothing.

    The 1/4" and 1/2" (carbide?) blades aren't too expensive new...

    Yours looks a little more sophisticated than mine but it is pretty similar. I just screwed the DI tab to the side of the cross piece.

    Why do you need to flip it to check the fence? After I check...

    A crown tends to make the blade center on the wheel. With a flat tire and narrow blade threre is little to keep the blade from wondering around. Most 14" band saws sold in the US have crowned tires...

    If you are only intending to use the saw with a resaw blade then the crown isn't a plus but I'm not sure it hurts. If you want to use a narrow blade to cut curves, you will wish you had it. ...

    It looks like a new jackshaft/gear is around $70 which around 1/2 the price of a new saw. This seems like a rip and takes my respect of PC down a notch.
