    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    Here are the pictures of the new saw and the parts/attachments. I have decided to go ahead and restore this saw and part out the first one. I probably won't have much time until after the holidays. Plans are to tear it down, polish the table and bare metal parts, paint the body, miter gauge and...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    Well, I picked up the saw last night. I paid less for it than I did the previous saw, and this one is 50 times better condition than it is. It is power bronze, came with original miter gauge, an aftermarket universal jig miter gauge, fence bevel jig, an old delta sf1/sf2 shaper fence, drafting...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    I didn't work on the saw much over the holidays, but I did find another table saw that I am going to look at tomorrow after work. The saw is complete and seems to be in much better shape than the one I have now. It is a 103.22450, comes with a grinder, no a block! It's the old style that needs a...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Here is an old Craftsman wall mounted box I picked up the other day. I had it shipped from Cleveland, OH. I spent a little less to have it shipped than I paid for it. It's the woodworking/carpenters box. This is the one I wanted but I'd still like to get a mechanics box to go with it. Now to...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    Had a little time to work on the design for the riving knife/linkage. https://s14.postimg.org/esl7blpn5/riving_knife_MOCH_UP.jpg I haven't detailed it yet, this is just a working drawing for the linkage. I need to take more measurements of the castings, transfer those into the model and then...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    The pulley and bearing seats are 11/16"(17mm), the saw arbor/threads are 5/8". The inner shaft is around 1" diameter and about 3-1/2" long I think. The pulley end with the keyway is about 2-1/2" long. I can get better dimensions tomorrow. If one ends up the right length or even a little longer I...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    I worked on the saw a little bit today. I took the arbor pulley off and found this... Looks like someleft left the half moon key out at some point in time and relied on the set screw, which did work.... It just happened to wallow the heck out of the keyway. I can weld it up, grind or file...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    My saw came from a fiberglass shop in Ft Wayne, IN. They had it sitting in a basement covered in sawdust for years. They rarely used it only to make any new molds. The combination of saw dust and moisture absolutely rotted the bottom of this cabinet. Your picture reminded me that I have a power...

    1950s Craftsman Cabinet Saw Restoration

    This is my first thread, and probably my first post on here, though I've lurked for a while. I am in the middle of doing a restoration on a 1950s Craftsman 103.27270 "Floor" saw. I've got it torn into the base, top/arbor, motor/mount, and misc. parts. The base has some pretty nasty rust at the...
