The cog drive is no longer working, you just slide the fence and clamp with the integral clamp.Ģ The saw has a single belt and I think duo belts or a flat belt would be a better arrangement. Is there an aftermarket fence out there that is less pricey and will do the job? Or can you steer me to some one who has rebuilt a fence afer discarding the cog system. Looking at my newer saw (it has a Biesmeyer fence) I can see that replacing the fence with a Biesmeyer is feasible, just expensive much more than the value of the saw. It has a cog-driven adjustment the bar cog (you might call it a rack) across the front of the saw is not steel and two ends of the four ends on the fences are broken off making it difficult to use (Sears denies ever selling it, even when I bring them the TS SN). The rip fence is old and needs rehab or replacement. It has a couple problems that I would solicit your help with.ġ. The reason, I particularly like the saw is I can take the heavy parts apart and I am able to move it easily. It sounds like this requires a 20A circuit.I have an old craftman TS that is an excellent machine and I use it more that the newer one. I only have a 15A circuit so this would be over capacity. My problem here is that even prewired at 115v, it's rated at 15A. Another less expensive option would be the Grizzly hybrid saw which is $900.
Old craftsman table saw fence upgrade plus#
Sawstop cabinet saw is about $3k plus the cost of electrical work that I may need done. The problem here is that I only have 15A/115v circuits in my garage. I would just build a crosscut sled and then I would need to build a 45* sled. I would likely just go for the lower cost upgrade, the T3 fence and no purchase of the miter gauge. Purchase replacement pulleys & Link Belt ($60).The saw would also butt up against an assembly/outfeed table. Build a stand for it with better casters.Here's the list of upgrades I was planning if I keep the Craftsman: So that leaves me with a bit of a dilemma. I have a large bookshelf/cabinetry projects in the planning and I really can't afford to have any major bad cuts. Small stuff I do 99% with hand tools, but for large-scale projects and sheet goods, I use the table saw. The combination of all these issues has caused me a lot of off cuts when building cabinets and larger builds. I have no issues cutting through 3/4 plywood and 4/4 hardwood. This may be from the pulleys slipping, since when you raise the blade up, it raises tension on the belt.
I raised the saw up to rip the edge of a 2x4 and the blade got caught part way through. So much so that if I have a small board or push stick on one of the wings, it could get knocked off while in use. 90% of the time it does not, and I need to adjust it by 1/16 - 3/32. Whenever I adjust my fence for a cut, I have to measure the front and back to one of the miter slots to make sure the fence locked in square. I tightened them back with set screws, but I'm not quite sure what caused it here. If I rip boards down, I notice a larger amount of material removed from the middle of the rip - I often get a " ( " shaped cut.
