I love that splitter/guard set up you built! I need to come up with something similar for my old Rockwell model 9. Its throat plate doesn't have enough clearance to add either a riving knife or those little plastic splitters. It also has those grate wings on it's sides.

Probably wasn't tilted much. I seldom ever find a need to tilt my old table saw. Usually if I want an angle cut I can use my miter gauge/fence for that or my miter (chop) saw. I used to have a caged window frame mounted fan that lag bolted to a window frame and had a belt driven fan inside the cage made sometime in the early 50's. It's motor also had the little flip doors on either end for adding oil. I bet it's still running today somewhere, lol. My band saw's tensioner likes to stick to the point I often have to tap it lightly with a ball peen hammer to get it to release. Been meaning to get a dry lube like graphite powder for it.

I also have this same saw. Would you mind saying what size bearings I should order for it? Hope to have mine looking and operating as well as yours soon :) Would also love to know how that riving knife was attached.

Nice find. I wish I had those wheels. I have this saw I bought new many moons ago. I ran it a little hard yesterday. It seized and now when I start it I have to manually spin the blade forward before I hit the start button. Otherwise it spins backward. Any idea haw to fix it?

Nice work. I found one for sale. I might buy it. Thanks

I have this puppy, too: I got it from Habitat for a steal. Mine is in nice shape - even has the manual and the blade wrench, but you got the miter gauge. Thanks for this video. Beautiful job on the saw. I’m going to clean the underbelly of mine today; I’ll use your video for reference.

Great find

Fantastic work on that wonderful old table saw.

WOW! That was amazing. Do you do Shop Calls to Sequoia National Park?

The original bearings on my saw had inner races that were a good deal wider than the outer races, therefor they held that bushing quite snuggly but when i replaced the bearings, everything was a little different due to the replacements not habing the inner races any wider, I imagine getting ahold of the NOS originals would be difficult and exorbitantly costly. The saw is working absolutely great now despite the protective shaft bushing basically just rattling around in there now.

I have a much older version of this saw (40's Delta Rockwell according to my research) I recently replaced the bearings on, that one on the arbor side is a MUTHA to get off and back on as well! I put the shaft into the freezer and the bearing into the oven on 250 for about thirty twenty minutes and it was ok getting onto the shaft but had one helluva time gettin the old one off.

I have a table saw like that one. Are you interested in selling the bracket, blade guard, and splitter or know of someone who has those parts ? Mine is also a Rockwell Model 9 Contractor Saw. My father-in-law gave it me . I would appreciate the help. Thanks

How old is that, i just got one seems to b about the same than that one

Helpful. I forgot that I have a bad memory (you can see how that works lol). I did a full disassembly on a model 10 and let several days pass before I even ordered the bearings so everything that looked so easy to remember became a pile of puzzle parts. Your camera shots and angles are great and did the trick of unlocking the memory. Thank you.

Hey, this was great. Question: I dont have enough room to center blade with trunnion adjustment. Is there a way to move the arbor flange to the right, If I am looking from the rear? Currently the blade cuts into the red throat plate, when my blade is at 45 degrees. Thanks.

Hola, tengo una sierra como esta. Dónde podría conseguir partes para este tipo de sierras?

Nice work, T/Y-G

Or I can see a serious problem with this saw with no “REAL” riving knife, or kick back pawls. With what the riving knife what 4 inches back off the blade, your piece is usually going to get stuck between the riving knife and the blade causing it to shoot at you. This is why it has taken major lawsuits for companies to learn from their mistakes and proper relations to put in place, because of regulations we would still be using radial arm saws turn out word to wards with the full blade facing the stomach to cut sheets of plywood.

Thank you, sir! Just inherited a 113.295702! looking forward to restoring it as best as I can

Hermossssso. Job

Nice. I really like when someone takes an existing engine design and modifies it to make it unique.

Hi Sir, I'd like to get your thoughts on a Craftsman 103 tablesaw I bought to restore, it's the motor mount, I need your input sir if at all possible, please and thank you sir for sharing your knowledge.

Good information. .👍 # 91 Stay safe, Joe Z

Great video! I purchased one similar to yours..direct drive awhile ago. Just not getting into it. Will say I do agree it is a bit of a pain dealing with the home models. Not near as many options and defiantly not built for parts to be replaced.

The bearings are readily available and quite cheap.

Hey just wanted to thank you for taking the time to document your project. I am restoring an 80's Model 10 and was not sure what to do at the spanner wrench stage.

My Daughter just found me this same saw , along neighborhood sidewalk, good video answered all my restoration questions . Rockwell 10" 34-348 1975. THX Gil So Cal.

I am still using the one my Dad bought a month after I was born.

Thanks for the video, I've been using it as a guide for my 10" Contractor saw because they seem to be dang near identical. Surprisingly I had two 6203 bearings in my tool chest! 😂

I inherited a Rockwell saw from the 60s, from a man who taught me wood working. He was a perfectionist and I really learned a lot from him. He lived to 101 and was so happy that I took his tools. When I brought the saw home, it was sitting a few years not used and I found the bearings are howling, so this video was very helpful. Luckily I have all the manuals from when it and it shows the bearings and a exploded view

I just bought a Rockwell Mod. 9 at an auction... brand new in the unopened box... dated 1979 for $100.00. Is that a good deal? I have to assemble it tomorrow.

I have one of these,also has bad bearings. how did you find the bearing part number?

I have my Grandfather’s Wards Powr Kraft 8” Bench Saw, the best one in the catalog for 1950. I have all the parts except the splitter and guard which I remember seeing in the 1970s when my Dad had it. I suspect they didn’t survive a move in 1980. I have a shaper head with straight cutters and a dado stack, all offered in the 1950 catalog. It has a big 1/2hp motor my grandfather scrounged up somewhere. My Dad said it was a furnace fan motor, it is so big that the arbor won’t tilt all the way to 45°. It’s in pretty good shape but I haven’t used it in over 10 years. I have a Craftsman 10” 113 contractor saw I use, that came from wife’s grandfather, it’s newer and has all the safety equipment.

Having trouble to setup the Blade to 90 does the splicer have to be adjusted

I have gone from working on vintage equipment to some much newer technologies. I just added a CNC router that also has a laser module for it. Now I am getting up to speed on the software to make the parts. This should be a good addition for fabricating parts for the machines I rebuild.

I always love rewatching your videos. That fence is a marvel and I'd like to incorporate the concept into my current resto, if needed. My Walker-Turner resto project saw has the original fence, but it's missing the cam handle from what I can tell of the 1940's product catalog. It will be awesome if I can find someone who could turn the piece close to the original design. I'm getting fired up even after being in the garage all day! Thanks Again Rick!

How to install the guard on the sears direct 10” saw

Ok, so it looks like I've commented before BUT man, I could use some help. I need a replacement bearing for a 1940s Walker-Turner 10 inch table saw I'm restoring. This bearing is for where the arbor tilt worm gear attaches to the base. It's marked like this on the outer race: L 02 SKF C Made in USA Any thoughts?

Nice rebuild.

Just bought one of these for $50 this is extremely helpful thank you for posting

Quite helpful, just recently picked up a 1980 34-440, so far everything is the same except motor size and not having the the “square” stop bolt for the tilt.

?

Any new restos coming out?

Second time watching this one. Love love love! the teaching!

Very well executed, thank you!

I have a Rockwell 10” that I bought new. I could tell it needed new bearings from the howling noise it made when in use. I got it apart before finding your video but found it very helpful for disassembling and reassembling the spindle itself. Thanks for good videoing and narration. Tom.

Thanks for this video! I just inherited my uncle’s vintage Craftsman 10” table saw, model 113.299120. It needs to be cleaned up and a new belt for the motor as far as I can see so far. Probably a new blade as well. It hasn’t been used in a long time. It came with 1 iron table wing. The rip fence and miter guide. Blade cover with what looks like 2 little saw blades at the back end. I’m not sure what they’re called but it looks like they should grab the wood to prevent kickbacks. I also got a vintage craftsman duel sander. 4” disc with 6” belt sander. A router with bits and a tall craftsman tool box with numerous drawers filled with tools. 😁 I’m just getting into woodworking so I’m happy I got his saw. I’m a 37 yo stay at home mom but Ive always like to build stuff. I’ve made a 1’x4’ planter box with casters out of 2 pallets for my mom and a hanging porch swing from pine both with only a jig saw and router. I’ll probably need to find someone to help answer questions on how to fix this table saw though. I’ve never had one before. I found the manual online available for purchase for $18. So I think I should go ahead and get it. It should be helpful. Both table saw and sander are very heavy. Iron. Made in USA 🇺🇸

Too funny.. LOL

Thank you sir... I'm working on a rockwell 10" saw quite similar...very rusted and sitting for decades... Your information really really helps.... Thank you for sharing your knowledge.... From Fiji Island...

This was very helpful. I have a Delta 34-410B, which has an identical configuration inside. I have done a lot of searching and wasn't sure how best to handle the replacement of the arbor bearings. For one thing, the exploded diagrams on parts websites don't seem to account for the 7/8" nut that fits inside that bearing retainer ring/nut. I gave up looking for Delta and searched for Rockwell instead. Your video made all the difference. I had everything apart, and the arbor wasn't moving. I wasn't sure how hard to hit it, and then I saw your demonstration. I hit it a little harder, and it popped right out. I wish mine went back together as easily. My bearings fit tightly, even with the addition of a bit of 3-in-1 oil to help them slide. I used my scroll saw to cut a plug similar to the one you did on the lathe. Not as elegant, but it worked. I haven't put everything back together again, but I'm pretty confident that it's going to work.
