I've been given an early 1950s Craftsman/Emerson Electric Co. Model# 113
27520 table saw. It runs, but the cranks are broken, it has no stand and the
table is a little on the small side. What can I do to increase the table
size,

You can build side and outfeed table extensions, or extension wings may still be
available. Your model number turns up parts listings at the Sears parts ordering
page.

and will a newer Craftsman stand work with such an old saw?

Not likely.

Where can I find replacement cranks?

Through Sears parts - on mine the handwheels were there, but not the crank
handles. Instead of buying replacements, I made a little handle - 1" dowel about
6" long with a 1/4" metal rod epoxied into the end:

much cheaper.

Is it worth anything if I try to sell it to get a newer saw? I really only
use it for construction projects, ripping trim molding and playwood, that
kind of thing.

Thanks- Brian


If it works, you're better off keeping it - I don't think it would sell for
much. The castings were heavy duty back then. If the bearings are worn, they can
be replaced. I got a better miter gauge and fence, though. There are a couple
pictures of mine at http://home.san.rr.com/jeffnann/Wood...odWorking.html
