Old Sears, Roebuck & Co. table saw
 
Model # 113.27520 with matching stand. Weighs a ton. Looked it up at
Sears parts direct and the only parts they have are bolts and washers,
and a newer miter gauge that will work (I suppose many will work). I
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 have pretty much that saw, with all the parts, in working order. I
inherited it from my father who was a cabinet maker, .Ii use it just
enough to keep the rust dowm on the table top, not enough to be any
sort of expert.
I found these pictures on the web, mine has the rolling sheet metal
base, but otherwise similar. The fence slides on mine, & clamps like
the one in the photos.

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.

cheers

Were those once popular saws? I have the *exact* same saw in my garage, but
without a stand. It sits on a workbench. All of the parts are there, and it
works just fine. And it will cut just about anything.

That sure looks like it except mine is copper colored, looks like
original paint. And along the front is a long "rack" gear with ruler
like measurements on it. I'm guessing that to move the rip fence it had
a handle and gear. I don't know what else the rack gear could have been
for if not part of the rip fence.

It looks a lot like the old 9" saw my father gave me. Blades were too hard to
find, which started me on the freebie 10" sears saw project. Yes, there was a
knob on the bottom of the fence you turned for small adjustments.

Really depends on what you plan to do with it. Not a good choice for
fine furniture. Without a decent fence the saw has little value, but
maybe you can make one and a few other jigs that ride in the miter
slot for very little money. "Heavy" is a good thing and cast iron
top is much better than a pressed metal top. Often accessories for a
table saw will fit many brands, and they can become expensive.
