Antique Tools, Episode 7 - Sears Craftsman Table Saw

[@TheCowEmporium]

Sears Craftsman tools are the best. That is a great saw. It’s awesome that you still have pictures from past renovations. Great fix that you figured out.

[@twinbrookacres]

The old Craftsman tools were great. The wall in the photo was one of the easier repairs. The other walls were more complex. I wish I had photos. Thanks, Annette.

[@diverdave4056]

come on now ... they WERE good tools years ago... anything that they sold in the last 40 years is JUNK !

[@twinbrookacres]

@diverdave4056 I agree. While I didn't say 40 years, I did say "old ". Even Black and Decker tools took a huge nosedive 40 years ago.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Good one Rick.

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks, Noel.

[@chiefbrokenbrain]

I'm not really technologically savvy took me awhile but guess what I found your channel and subscribed😂

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Bonjour Mon Ami, Sears Craftsman ( Emerson ) Table From That Time Was Truly OUTSTANDING High Quality !!! Ho boy, that wall was not in good shapes and Very Good Locking End Project Sir CHeers 👍👍😇👌🍻

[@twinbrookacres]

That wall was one of the easiest walls to repair. Some of the others had far more damage but I have no photos. Merci, mon ami!

[@theadventuresofkennydebbie]

That’s amazing!! Thanks my friend. And the ability to print out the Manuel was too cool.

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks, Kenny. I am pretty sure I have the original manual filed away, but it was nice to be able to get another copy.

[@wendingourway]

Solid piece of equipment!! Never had a problem with any Craftsman that I owned. Never know when or where just the right piece for a project will be found. Awesome!

[@twinbrookacres]

Craftsman had great products! Thanks!

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Great video Rick, I’m really enjoying this. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week my friend.

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks, Tony. I hope your week goes well.

[@jawadartandartist1105]

this is really excellent video my dear friend wonderful sharing big like for you

[@twinbrookacres]

Thank you for the kind comments and visiting. I appreciate it.

[@maintenancewithmike]

They don’t build them as good anymore. I’m sure you can buy some now that are as good but I’m sure also they would be cost prohibitive to most do it yourself people. Very cool old piece that still works! Very cool that you have the old pictures from your projects. Thanks for sharing Rick. Cheers, Mike.

[@twinbrookacres]

Yes. Good quality is so expensive now. That is true for most products. I wish i had photos of the other walls I repaired. They were more complex. Thanks, Mike.

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

My first table saw was a 10” Craftsman back in 1990 gave it to my father-in-law when I decided to get a Ridgid. Weird those knobs ran away 😂. You’ll have a major cleanup to do on it but it will look good 👍🏻. Sounds great 👍🏻. Have a great week Rick 👍🏻🙂🙋🏼‍♂️

[@twinbrookacres]

I'm sure the 10 inch craftsman saw was a good one and is probably still running. I have no idea where those knows went! I'll do another video on the cleaned up saw, if I get it done soon. Thanks, Luc.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That Craftsman was quite the saw in it's day!! The cast iron top is a sign of a good tool. Interesting story about your house and how you managed to repair it and get the lumber you needed!! I like that!! Take 'er easy!!

[@twinbrookacres]

It was funny that I searched for the proper lumber for a month or two, only to find it next door! I think the saw will outlast me! Thanks, Mike.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

That looks like a good quality table saw. It is great to be able to find instruction manuals online

[@twinbrookacres]

The Sears Craftsman tools were well known for good quality. I finally put my sticker in the post for you!! I kept forgetting. 🙂

[@GardenTractorBoy]

@@twinbrookacres Thanks. I sent my stickers to you about nearly two weeks ago so they should be with you soon

[@twinbrookacres]

@@GardenTractorBoy OH yes. Sorry. I received yours late last week. Thanks.

[@NuffinEdited]

I really like this series. Stay blessed

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks! Have a good week.

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Loved this Rick

[@twinbrookacres]

@SimplyJanHomestead Thanks Jan.

[@gatorsworld]

I had one something like that but it fell on the garage floor, me trying to move it and I have to say it was never the same after that. You worked a lot on that house. CHEERS

[@twinbrookacres]

I had to walk this table saw out from a corner for the video. I was nervous about dropping it! The wall that I showed was the easiest one to repair!

[@consciousbusinessservicesoppor]

That sucks about the tools getting rusty

[@twinbrookacres]

Yes, it sucks that the tools got rusty. My barn used to get very damp before I restored it. It's not as bad now. Thanks for visiting and commenting. - Rick

[@MtnGrandma]

Very cool! 😊👍❤️

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks, Tammy.

[@IncredibleTractors2]

thats some nice kit, watch your fingers, those saws are not forgiving. all the best Rick, Dave

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks, Dave. I am always careful around my saws. Sorry for the late reply. I'm finding I have less and less time for KZbin these past several months. I unretired and started a full-time job, and took on some consulting work on the side.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Ģood afternoon Rick. That's a nice old table saw. Looks like it's pretty heavy. Should look good once you clean it up. I remember hearing some talk earlier this year that the US government plan to change table saw regulations because of the number of table saw injuries each year. Supposedly but I don't know if true or not, it may mean that all new table saws must have a blade brake and possibly no resale or gifting of any current table saws. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

[@twinbrookacres]

Hi Paul. The Nanny State continues to grow and control every aspect of our lives! Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it.

[@mikelastime]

I have an old Craftsman table saw I have used for years not sure what year it is but very good saw. great video thanks for sharing have a great day

[@twinbrookacres]

The old Craftsman tools are very reliable and well built. Thanks for visiting. - Rick

[@consciousbusinessservicesoppor]

Sears still exist?? Wow, antique tools. I am guessing they will be worth a lot like most things antique

[@twinbrookacres]

No, Sears no longer exists. Sears used to have a great tool line of quality tools. Some of the tools are worth a good amount of money. But, they were sold in huge quantities, so many still exist, which brings the value down. Thanks, Charline. - Rick

[@JohnAmes]

Great video my friend

[@twinbrookacres]

Thank you!

[@ScullyPop]

Twin Brook Acres is an up and coming channel.

[@twinbrookacres]

Thank you!

[@henryleslievermont6004]

Enjoyed 😀 I have a Delta/Milwaukee Homecraft table saw about the same era I think. 👍 (Have pics if you want to see)

[@twinbrookacres]

Yeah, I would love to see the photos of the Delta table saw. You can send them to my email in my about section, if you want.

[@wageslaveuranus9596]

I have one of these,the previous many owners frankenstiened the motor, 1 hp!!. A Zillion RPM, sounds like a F-35 jet.

[@twinbrookacres]

Haha! That must be something to hear! Thanks for visiting and commenting. I appreciate it. - Rick

[@WildesCollections]

Thanks I really appreciate it :)

[@twinbrookacres]

You're welcome!

[@cabotbluegill]

i had that same saw and i gave it to my son i ran into a very good deal on a 10 inch delta that is strange about your control knobs the mortor is 3450 rpm and hard to replace if needed

[@twinbrookacres]

I meant to provide more info on the motor. I figured the motor would be hard to replace.

[@ronaldbrown5745]

Hard finding 8” blades with .5 arbor on these old saws.

[@twinbrookacres]

I can't remember when I replaced the blade on this saw. It's been several years, at least. I suppose I should find some blades and stock up on them. Thanks for the info. And thanks for watching and commenting.

[@royal4463]

Nice video, I remember My neighbor having that same saw. I have a old craftsman table saw from about 30 years ago and use it every week. Couldn't help but notice your Seabee's hat.... were you a Bee? if so when were you in? and what units? I'm guessing a builder. I was a BU1 when i got out

[@twinbrookacres]

Hi. I wear the hat in memory of my grandfather. He was an original Bee. He spent 3 years on Saipan, Tinian, and (I think) Eniwetok (or Guam). He saw some horrific things. The old table saw still works well. Those old Craftsman tools were great! Thanks for visiting, commenting, and signing on. I appreciate it. - Rick

[@robertboyce7919]

more info on the table saw and less on the house. I have a Sears Model 113.27520 dated 1952. I have rebuilt some of it Like a new fence system. My motor is the original 1 hp motor that I had rewind, it very heavy so tilting it to 45 deg. is very difficult but it works. The only issue I have is the pully on the motor vibrates and I don't know how to correct it. Oh, I had someone make me some insert plates so I can use a dado blade. Please let me know if you have any ideas how to correct the vibration.

[@twinbrookacres]

Thanks for the info. Sounds to me like you need to balance the pully somehow. Or perhaps the shaft is bent. Thanks for commenting.

[@theadventuresofkennydebbie]

Rick, How are you doing on watch hours?

[@twinbrookacres]

About 3,600 for the past 365 days.

[@theadventuresofkennydebbie]

You’re close. I’ll start running you tonight when I get home. I’ll see how many hours your playlists have and I’ll let you know how much I’m gonna run. But I’ll run everything you got.
