Hi, I have a Craftsman table saw (mod 115.19320, mfr's no S-7847).
It has a 1/3 hp motor with a double pulley system. Overall it is in fairly good condition, cast iron bed is flat as is its one cast iron wing. The fence, unfortunately, is not in very usable condition.
I am trying to determine if upgrading to a state of the art(?) fence is worth the money. I have been looking at new fences and the Vega Pro 40 has caught my eye, but I haven't explored the used market yet.
Also, would anyone know if putting a slightly newer/more powerful motor on it is feasible?
It runs fine at the moment, but I have bogged it down cutting some ash and maple boards.
I appreciate any advice you might have,
