As a former Sears employee and woodworker do you have any good ideas for

I have a 30+ year old Craftsman table saw model 113.241691 and I need a

Thank you, Orson



Google is your helper he

Were these flex drive models any good?

My gut feel is no, but I can't say why, other than seeing the belt driven
models everywhere, including my shop for the past 30 plus years. Never saw
a flex drive before, not even on youtube.



I've never used one, so I have no meaningful experience. I will say that I have a 25 year
old direct drive model that continues to serve me well. Then again, I ripped out the right wing,
built a router table into it, put on an Incra precision fence, installed a Woodworker II ... IOW
the only thing original is the stand, the motor, and the left cast iron wing ...

That sounds much like my Craftsman. Router table extension and Delta fence.

Blade varies based on usage.

The only I've had to replace was an arbor bearing and that was earlier
this year. I had a spare arbor, brand new, so I replaced both bearings
and the arbor as long as I had it apart.

I keep meaning to buy a link belt but I never seem to remember.


BTY I never put a link belt on the TS, the belt was almost perfectly
round and never took a set.
BUT I did replace the belts in my DP with a link belt, the DP runs much
smoother although noisier on higher speeds.
