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
replacement flex drive shaft (part #62884).Â* It is not supported by Sears

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 ...


LOL, that's the only way to make some Craftsman TS's worth using. I had
an 83 Craftsman 1 hp belt drive TS. I replaced the wings, stand, and fence.

Did anyone make a fence that was worse than the stock fence on that entire
line of Craftsman contractor saws?

No manufacturer that I know of. I have seen a couple of home made ones
on YouTube that were probably worse.


You'd have to try really hard...actually do it on purpose. ;-)
