Too cold around here to do much, so taking the time to rebuild my old
1970's Craftsman Table Saw. First thing was to put it on wheels, so using Kreg Casters and some old bed rail, I made it mobile. Next will be to build a holder on the left side for a crosscut sled, and one on the right side for the fence, miter gauge, a square, and tape measures. Then, I am going to take the saw off the base, and clean it thoroughly, and reset the blade to table accuracy. Finally, I will repaint it, roughly the original color, and paint the rails red. I will install a Freud 54 tooth carbide blade for butter smooth cuts. I am keeping the saw the same height as my router table, as I use them side by side. This saw has served me well, and once it is redone, it should be like a new one. When the casters are locked, the saw does NOT move. Unlocked, I can move it with my little finger!! It is sooo nice not to have to use a 2 wheeler to move the saw, or worse, man handle it.
