I recently acquired a free craftsman 113.197151 radial arm saw, which I am considering setting up on the same bench as my miter station, and dedicating it to cutting tenons and dados. I am having trouble figuring out which of the old craftsman blade guards I need to get to accommodate a dado...

Hello all - first time poster! I recently acquired an old late 60's Craftsman RAS (113.29441) for $50 io Craigslist. It wasn't in perfect shape, but a little WD-40 and steel-wool, and it's looking a lot better. One question, I know they are not offering the recall blade guard kits anymore...

(just some context, I am a high school student with no job, drivers license, car, or money) my Dewalt 7749 radial arm saw belonged to my grandfather. it worked at first but after my parents brought it from my grandparents to our house,( a 3 hour, 170-mile drive one way) I had to take the saw...

I am unable to elevate (or lower) the arm of my Craftsman 10 inch Radial Arm Saw, Model 315.220100. I bought it used just over ten years ago, and it was a year old at that time. It has been a while since I have had cause to elevate the arm, but I was able to do so in the past. I recall it being...

A friend has offered this to me for sale. It is not working but I haven't heard yet what it is or is not doing. One of the attached pics is what the seller sent me to tell me the model number (11531). I have scrounged and scrounged, used google, bing, yahoo but am coming up with ZIP. None of...

Newbie to wood working here. So while I have been hunting for a starter table saw (That's over in another thread) I went over to my elderly neighbor's house to clean up her leaves. We get to chatting, I mention my new fascination with wood working and told her about the kids craft table I just...

Howdy all, I am new to the forum and looking forward to picking up and sharing tips and tricks. Just purchased a Sears Craftsman Electronic Radial Arm Saw. I found the manual that covers my exact model, but it has no mention of the electronics. Does anyone have a manual that covers the...

Chicago area. With limited woodworking skills used for rudimentary home improvements. Owner of an old Sears RAS which only has limited use and then only for cross cuts. Mostly because since getting this RAS, years ago, there has been sloppiness or play in the motor mount to the rail. I am fairly...

Just bought a nice saw. Worked fine on 220v. Got home, read the book and changed the two wires called for but the saw just hums. With help the blade will turn but stalls when I try to cut anything. To put 220v in my shop is way to expensive. Need second breaker box. suggestions?

Folks, I've noticed alot of people on this forum have their Radial Arm Saws dialed in at 90 degrees. Obviously, this makes crosscutting at 90 degrees a snap. I understand the premise of not moving the saw out of that 90 degree setting, and angling the work to the blade, instead of the blade...

Folks, I recently lubricated my RAS, which it desperately needed. This included oiling the column (with PB) and the crankshaft case with lithium grease. It also involved oiling the inside of the column. I'm in the process of getting it ready, and I thought things were good to go. When I went...

Hi- I was an avid woodworker but have been forced to focus on other things for a while. In the meantime, I've noticed that the swivel head on my radial arm saw will not turn I believe there is some rust on the gears. My biggest problem is removing the armature to get to the inside of the gear...

I am in the process of rebuilding mine and I am having difficulty with the blade raising and lowering mechanism. Can anyone tell me which direction the teeth of the gears should be facing on the vertical column shaft. Or is anyone has pictures of their assembly that would be great. These parts...

I'm new to this group and am looking forward to any advice that the more experienced can offer. Here's what I have . . . . . I was given this Craftsman Radial saw (113.197751) for FREE! The previous owner gave it to me because the blade wouldn't turn and he was figuring it would save him a...

Hi: I've got a Craftsman 10" RAS that is about 20 years old. I used it extensively to help remodel my first house. It had digital read-out for measurements that worked poorly, so I tore that all out. I decided a few years ago to remove the stock table and replace it with a table of MDF about 16'...

I was recently given an old 12'' craftsman radial arm saw. After taking it apart and cleaning everything out it worked great. The only problem is that it doesn't have a blade guard. I tried searching the sears parts site but couldn't find anything. Also i was looking for some different...
