HEy Dave - i know it's almost impossible to see in my image but upon very close inspection I think I have a rough idea at how it was done. The circles overlap each other almost 90% of the swirl and there may be an 1/16" crescent shape that is exposed as you move down the line. I believe the...

@Pdubss - man, that's is some generous offer you have given me there. Thank you more than I can express for simply offering. The only issue is I think the plate you have is slightly different than the one I had in that the engine turning on the 100's had more of a linear effect rather than the...

@rlitman - thanks again for the advice and not something I have overlooked. One of my initial concerns was being able to re-create the uniformity and consistency of the turning done on the original metal. I assume Craftsman/Emerson had better ways and methods at doing this than I will have in...

@454ragtop - WOW. Thank you - that's a great start. I believe you are 100% right in that's the process. That's going to give me a a lead on what I need to know and whether I can do this. It seems after doing some initial research most people are doing it by hand or on a drill press. Anyone...

Hello everyone. I'm restoring an old 1960's table saw and I just got back in the saddle after a year of hiatus. I've got the machine completely disassembled and most of the parts shiny and brushed. I got overzealous and didn't realize the alumnimum insert for the chassis had a brushed metal...

First things I made after getting a table saw. I'm not nearly close to be a veteran woodworker but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the further your fingers are away from a moving blade, that can lop them off without thinking twice, the better.

$80??? That's a STEAL! I bought this same saw a year or so ago for a lot more than $80. And it's not nearly in that condition. I'm going through mine right now to restore it (started a thread a while back in this forum about it too - I have Model# 113.29992) - haven't had the time in the...

Thank you for your information lilredex & larryjones - I did some more digging and was able to find this PDF on a router forum that has a similar set. I'm glad I did some more digging as I wasn't aware that the "pilot" screw set had to plug in on the other side of the cutter, opposite side of...

Hey GJ - I have a similar set of router bits as pictured here: https://www.picclickimg.com/d/w1600/pict/201817155235_/Vintage-Craftsman-Router-Bit-Kit-With-Metal.jpg Some questions: * How do you use the router bits on the far right of the image? I have a very similar set and although I've...

After a bit of a lull with my restoration project I finally had some free time last night to start pulling off the motor and motor plate assembly. It was really easy to get all of this off. The motor is mounted to the motor plate which is then mounted to the assembly that connects to the...

I finally got most of the miter gauge and most of the fence cleaned up. I plant to hit everything with some steel wool and get a good polish on it before painting. I went and picked up some basic cheap paint stripper (Kleen) from a local Fred Meyer late the other night and that helped take...

Re: Craftsman 100 10" Tilting Table Saw Restore (#113.29991) Thank you for the paint color information @happymachinist! I will be looking into shades in that variety, I really dig the look.

Re: Craftsman 100 10" Tilting Table Saw Restore (#113.29991) Thanks for the reply happymachinst! Good to know this saw has treated you well - I agree, I tend to like the darker look to this saw and dislike the anniversary gold color, I will probably end up going down the same road when I...

Decided to pull out the old grinder and realized I never did any research about this unit itself. After doing an hour of searching online, coming up mostly empty handed, I'm not more intrigued. I think this is from the 70's or 80's based on other models I've found with similar product catalog...

That electrolysis bath does wonders - looks amazing GeorgeG2! All those clean shiny small parts gave me a little jingle inside.
