Default Craftsman tablesaw (old)

I have old Craftsman 1 hp tablesaw that is just dogging out on me when I'm ripping 3/4" plywood.

What can I do to get this old dog performing better? Does the blade have that much of a factor or could there be other issues?

The model is 113.29992 it might be from the late 60's. the blade on there now is a new Black and Decker Pirranah.

Thanks for any advice



I basically had the same saw. I put a good quality "REGULAR kerf blade
on it and it made all the difference in the world. Keep in mind that
you need to have your saw tuned properly. Read that as every thing as
close to perfect alignment as possible.

You can put at thin kerf blade on it to cut faster but over all not better.
