Questions about purchasing a Craftsman "100"

[mjbuffum]

I recently restored an older Craftsman 113 that was very similar to this, however it was only an 8" saw with no stand. I also only spent $30 on it.

I now have the opportunity to purchase a Craftsman "100" table saw with an original pedestal. The model number is 113.29991. The saw is supposedly in very good working condition.

I had a couple of questions:

1. Are there dado inserts made for this saw?
2. Would newer 113 jigs fit this table? Also the webbed cast iron extensions?
3. Is $100 a fair price?

Thanks!

Yes to all.I have the same 100 saw; it has balls!; and everything from my 113. fits & works with it.

Are the inserts both the same size?

I see these all the time and wish I had room for one.

I do like the band saws though and may have to find one in my price range.

I think that's a scroll saw. They usually go pretty cheap, had a guy offer me one for $5 with the motor.

Yes, they have dado inserts. Webbed inserts are what is pictured (they are both on one side). Most of the 10" stuff fits across brands. I paid $100 for one of mine, and $75 (IIRC) for another/parts machine, got the base for $30 later. Really considering letting mine go, have a Unisaw I use much more, and need room. Have almost every single option they put on these besides the Miter Hold down and the Powr Panel (have both inserts, blade guard, rod/bridge extension, 3 wings, fence with extensions on wings, fence hold down kit, original miter gauge, pedestal base, etc).

The other thing is a three wheeled bandsaw, 12". Have seen them go for max about $40, usually in the 10-20 range.
