was surprised it showed a parts diagram at all!
It is missing the motor and maybe part of the motor mount but I can make
a mount. *It is also missing the rip fence and the miter gauge but Sears
has a replacement for the miter gauge. *I'm not sure how difficult it
would be to make, or adapt a rip fence. *Looks like the original had a
geared lever to turn since in the front it has teeth along the bottom.
I've been using it as a table top and a grinder stand. *Is it worth
getting it up and running again? *I have a Ryobi BTS20 that my BIL gave
me and I don't do a lot of precise work, in fact I don't do much work at
all ;-) *For sure I won't toss it out but not sure if it's worth putting
the money and time into it.
I had one of those but it was only 8".....cast iron table &
wings...weighed a TON!
Still had the fence and motor mount & decent motor ..... too heavy
for me, I have an 8" makita portable... good enough for the
occasional rip.
I gave the Craftsman to a former student, he was young enough & strong
enough to deal with it.
Unless the Craftsman is bigger (10" ?) than your Ryobi or you'd have
fun fixing it. I'd forget fixing it & sell it on craigslist "as
is" and let someone else put the time into it.
