How To Restore A Craftsman 100 Table Saw Restoration Part 5

Hi guys in this video all the parts of the my dads old vintage craftsman 100 table saw are ready to be assembled, so thats what we do. I think I did a pretty good job restoring this saw and i wish my dad was still around to see it . I spent the time to even polish out the bolts and washers. so its time to get this awesome saw back together . on all the parts that move I used a dry silicone lube to ensure it won't collect dust on the moving parts. Some people are into the latest and greatest saws but I am in to these Old iron saws and tools so sit back and enjoy this video and I thank you for watching

Just wanted to say thanks for making this video series. My dad had the same saw and I've been trying to take up woodworking after he passed a couple years ago. The lifting mechanism isn't working anymore, and watching your videos really helped me to understand what all the parts are and how it works so I can (hopefully) fix it on my own.

[@MsSpider75]

Nice. The old magnet in a socket trick is brand new to me, thanks!

[@sumandl]

Oh yeah.. that was a great Job Patrick! Thumbs up

[@markkulyas2418]

Nice job man !👍 I did the same thing with the exact saw 30 years ago. I added all kinds of upgrades to make it run sweet. Machined and balanced pulleys, pals adjusters, I built a cabinet with dust control, added solid cast iron wings, extension table and biesemeyer fence, the previous owner had a Baldor motor on it. After I got done that thing whistled and ran as smooth as a Cabinet saw.

[@brandonschmidt53]

would love to see pics!

[@robertevans6481]

Patrick that turn out sweet, looks awesome.

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

[@franka5416]

Very well done Patrick, that saw is ready for another 60 good years! Keep the videos coming.

Fantastic job, Patrick!! That saw is better than new, I bet. It'll be pure joy to use it. Thanks for the video!

[@billk8579]

[@opasworkshop8373]

Patrick you did a wonderful job on that 100 model saw. can't wait to see it when it's all finished.

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

Wow man congratulations awesome job, your dad and grandfather would be very happy and very proud of you, i am a firm believer in these old saws and i am just now restoring one from 1951 Craftsman 10 inch and it ran real nice but just was neglected and abused and thrown to the curb, well i picked it up and am rebuilding it totally as we speak, very nice job : ) keep up the great work, Sears and a few forums have said this was one of the best saws sears ever put out, its industrial quality and i believe them : ) , have a nice holiday season, your dad and grandpa are smiling down on you sir !

[@bill-chichi9701]

Freaking outstanding job. I just rewatched your radial arm saw dust collection video. I acquired an older 1986 craftsman unit it it works like new. Glad your back posting videos. Looking forward to seeing them.

WoW Patrick you have done an excellent job so far, restoring your Dads old Table Saw.

You have done Amazingly well so far and I can't wait till it's finished. Well Done. Barry (ENG)

[@gerrym4377]

That's looking amazing Patrick! I'm sure your dad would be proud of you for making such a brilliant job of it. Best wishes from Scotland :o)

[@GrinfilledCelt]

At the beginning of this project I thought you were going WAY beyond what was necessary and I thought, "This is a labor of love." Then you said that this was your dad's saw and I knew it was true. Good work, It's a thing of beauty. I hope you have a kid to do it all over again in 50 years.

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks it really is a labor of love and a little ocd i feel its my obligation to make this saw look and work better than my dad ever was able too , and so i did stay tuned for more and thanks for watching

[@WildmanTech]

Man that looks awesome! Great job!

[@Patricksworkshop]

[@PaulDesmondimakewoodthings]

Beautiful job Patrick. That thing looks like it just rolled off the factory assembly line.

[@MichaelLawing]

You've got me looking for something like this on craigslist. Great job on the resto!

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks Michael totally worth it if you find one thats in decent shape thanks for watching

[@stephenkent8903]

Good Job!

[@rickgatewood6442]

Nice job! A friend gave me one of those and I have found it to be a great saw!

[@Patricksworkshop]

i agree it is a great solid saw , and when i was a kid my pops used it every day and i remember he traded something to get it but , i don't remember what he traded it for but he was happy when he got home with it this was way back in the early 80s thanks for watching more to come

[@scottb.2022]

I don't think you did a pretty good job at restoring the saw, I think you did an awesome job at restoring the saw. Well done.

[@mate_nezo]

Good job man!

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks Marco I appreciate you watching

[@realjester]

Dude it looks amazing great job👍

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks so much that gold paint really shines and makes it looks better than new thanks for watching

[@edwardsimas9070]

what is the gold colored paint brand color name? I also have the identical model saw 1961 that was my fathers and I'm restoring it. model 113.299991

[@psuryava]

Incredible work. Nothing more satisfying than to see and old machine come to life. Did you finish it? Would love to see it running and being used.

[@shawncurrin3053]

just picked up a similar saw and hope to do the same. good job.

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks man they are well built saws and work great once cleaned up good luck on your restoration

[@willemkossen]

Ready to go for another 40 years!

[@cybercapri]

Great Job, wow, you put a lot of work into this....

[@Patricksworkshop]

i did thanks for noticing it takes a lot of time to clean it to the level of better than new thanks for watching

[@cybercapri]

Yes it does... I let a few tools go because I just did not need them for a few years only to regret not taking better care of them so I know full well what they take to restore... You really did do a great job on this unit. Units these days are so cheat they are not worth rebuilding but older units like this are worth every penny to restore them....

[@danpejril]

Thank you for sharing; this is exactly what I was looking for. I just received at "100", 113 model from my Dad. Everything is working on the saw, except the angle adjustment is very tough to turn - going to try to clean it and lubricate the mechanism (silicone spray). I have a question, what is the purpose of the small handle that sits above the Elevation Hand Wheel? I found an old manual but difficult to discern the function of this handle. Thanks again for making these videos.

[@MarkMcCluney]

deeply satisfying vid Pat. looking forward to the first test drive very much. Incidentally, what is the grey hinged assembly at the back of the saw?

[@DBZSeanzie]

Great job man. So I just got my hands on one of these today, and it’s in rough shape. Needs new blade which idk what size they are, the adjusters need knobs, and I need a new power cable because this one is all frayed(also no clue what to get). Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks

[@knapevogtmanufacturing3667]

Awesome.

[@Patricksworkshop]

glad you liked it thanks for watching

[@ahorseman4ever1]

Nicely done, I see why you are at 20k subscribers. You have one more now.

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Turned out sweet! Are you gonna build a rolling cabinet under it with extra storage?

[@bobbystanley8580]

Good thinking on the dry lube. I have seen people use wet lube and it is a dust magnet for sure!

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks the dry lube works well but i think any kind of lube wet or dry still will attract some dust to the components so its still best to clean em out every few weeks

[@timthomas9105]

I completely restored my old 103 Craftsman Table Saw. Used Hunter green, black under the wings and red accent.

[@bobdickweed]

came out great man..;-p

[@spudboned]

Hi Patrick. Nice job with the restoration. I also have this same model saw and will start on it's restoration soon. My only question to you is, I didn't see any video showing how you restored the cabinet and knobs. That would be very helpful. Thanks.

[@Patricksworkshop]

well the knobs and anything small got hit with the sandblaster for a quick sec , i mean a quick sec to take off the years of stuff then i used a fine abrasive pads to polish them up to a nice shine , as for the cabinet , it wouldn't fit in my small blasting cabinet so i sanded it with 120 sand paper and my orbital sander till i removed as much stuff as i could then i washed it with a good degreaser and water then let it dry in the sun for a few hours then while it was warm from the sun i primered it inside and out then gave it 3 coats of the gold thats pretty much all i did to the cabinet thanks for asking and for watching good luck on your saw restoration I hope my videos and this comment helps you on your restoration ps when u r done please post some pictures and tag me so I can see your saw thanks Patrick

[@SuperYtviewer]

Beautiful restoration. Fit and finish are great. Have you tried it out and what where the results? (Or is this an art restoration to be seen and not used?) Regardless, you are to be commended for bringing this classic back to life. - Annie

[@Patricksworkshop]

haha thanks Annie , I haven't tried it yet but it would look good as a coffee table lol so i'm still working on some details like mounting the motor and fence and tuning the blade to be aligned with the miter slots and fence and making a custom station for it so lots to do thanks for watching and I really appreciate your comment

[@mitchvillanueva149]

looks amazing and beautiful Patrick. I'm in the middle of restoring the one my uncle gave me. I got all the parts cleaned up and I'm done priming the parts I'm gonna paint. Quick question: after u pained the case and inside parts, did you use any kind of protective coating like a clear coat? so the insides don't get the paint worn off by sawdust, and the outside doesn't get scratches from the inevitable bumps and scrapes from wood or other tools?

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks Mitchell as for your question i used a good primer and paint rustoleum professional and don't need a clear coat on the parts i figure if the factory didn't put a clear i don't need one either. just figure mine was 66 years old when i restored it it should be good for another 66 years thanks for watching and good luck on your saw

[@MadWilly66]

The saw turned out awesome, Patrick!! Great job!! Does the original motor still work or will you be getting a new/different one?

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks Chris , I do have the original motor but its messed up from sitting in the weather for so long so ...,well at this point of the table saw restoration series the originality of the saw stops, haha pun intended. and the customization begins so i bought a 1 1/2 hp motor from grizzly to put on this bad boy and i have a bunch of awesome ideas to make this saw better as well so i hope you stick around to see those go into action . thanks for watching and commenting more to come

[@BillyMcCord]

Looks great Patrick, the internals on my saw are same but the cabinet is a little more plain Jane...any idea what year yours was manufactured? I thin k i found 1951 on mine some place

[@Patricksworkshop]

hey Billy thanks for watching this saw was built in 1961 but i think this particular style was made for several years in the early 60s thanks for watching and commenting

[@2001DestructionofLies]

WOW that's all I got!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steelcityrailroad5095]

Hello there, I have this Craftsman table saw myself, just a tad differnt then yours. It uses a blade with a 1/2" arbor and I can only find blades with a 5/8" Any ideas where I might be able to find a blade for it?

[@jorgesierra3203]

What's that spring loaded lever for? the one next to the knob that adjusts the blade height

[@richardhargrove7256]

You’ve inspired me to restore mine now. Did you sand blast the cabinet and knobs as well. Curious how you did those and the craftsman logo plate. I’m a little concerned since the cabinet is lighter gage metal.

[@Patricksworkshop]

Awesome to hear so for the cabinet I wish it fit in my little sandblast cabinet but I just used a sanding pad and some elbow grease to clean it up it was in pretty good shape just surface rust so I cleaned it up best I could and sprayed on a rust preventing primer and a few coats of the gold here's where it gets tricky if u have my same saw or any of the ones with the aluminum face be very very careful it scratches off the factory marks so easy I just cleaned mine with Dawn dish soap and a soft sponge if u scrub too hard or use a chemical it WILL remove the lines and number marks so just wash as for the handles I cleaned with SOS pads and polished with chrome turtle wax that's about it the cast iron was the most work

[@garycrane3946]

Patrick your work looks great! Because of you I’m now buying a sand blaster . Could you tell me what’s a good enough one /size for doing woodworking shop tools. I’m building a shop from the ground up and I used to be a cabinetmaker prior to a bout with cancer. I’ve been on the web for about 2months now seeing guys like you and great shops. I now have the wood bug back and I can’t go fast enough Im about half way thru dismantling my 3hp Unisaw it’s a 34-802 type 1. Gear puller and all! I’ve learned so much from you in just one night it’s really great you take the time to help others. I can’t find you episode #4 what happened? I’m having my top and mitre gauge and wings ground down with a Blanchard vert.machine the straight grounded so I won’t see the swirls could be a safety issue with line of sight. I used to be a fitter so maybe I’m just overly sensitive about these type of issues.id like to know a few things if you could help me such as were to buy the bearings and how to clean all the non painted parts, what type of grease gets used if any while reinstalling cleaned non painted parts that go into one another .do you use grease for the trunnions? Some say it’s a must some say don’t do it! I’m 100 percent new to all this on line stuff so if I’m missing something sorry about that.oh buy the way do you also have any leads on delta paint colors saw your can of quick dry looks like the right way to go.any help at all would be most appreciated.your dad would be proud of this I’m sure!

[@kevinthomas8667]

Help, do you have any instructions for the fence? I have massive run out on the fence, mainly after the arbor, which is effecting my ability to cut square. How do I address this?

[@joelclonch6120]

Maybe I missed it but what did you use or do to clean the back shield that the elevation handle comes through that has the bevel degrees on it.

[@Patricksworkshop]

I used a very soft sponge and drawn dish soap. If you push to hard or run with sandpaper or anything abrasive it will scratch off the Mark's. So clean very carefully no chemicals or sanding

[@l3ender15]

Love the music! What's the back panel thing for?

[@Patricksworkshop]

That is the motor plate. These are contractor style saws where the motor hangs on the back not like a cabinet saw where the motor is in the cabinet thanks for watching lots more to come

[@Sig220Euro]

Patrick, looking great. Just watched this series. So do you have the original motor or are you putting on a newer one? Wondering on what HP it is or will be. Can't wait to see you run the first board thru it...

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks it came out better that i thought ,as for the motor i have the original 1 hp motor but its kinda shot so i picked up a new grizzly 1 1/2 hp motor from amazon that i will be using set up and tune video still in the works stay tuned for more thanks for watching

[@JT_70]

Patrick, I just watched all 5 videos. A friend gave me a 1976 Craftsman 113.299440 that I began a full restoration of a couple of months ago. All that's left to refinish is the top on which I'll try your vinegar solution. Mine was Craftsman gray but I repainted all parts gloss black and it's looking great. Where did you buy the replacement pulleys? The cradle is exactly like yours despite the Saw being 15 years newer.

[@Patricksworkshop]

i got my new steel pulleys from amazon 2 1/2 inch dia 5/8 shaft or check out mcmaster-carr they have good ones too i am also going to run a link belt from harbor freight i have 2 more videos i'm working on about the setup and tuning it in for accuracy thanks for watching

[@garryr]

Looks great Patrick. you will have to hang on o that bad boy (not that you weren't) since sears has sold craftsman.

[@molson408]

Hi Patrick, not sure if you're still active on here. If you are I had a question, how did you make the hand wheels look so good? I'm currently in the middle of a Craftsman 100 TS restoration but the handles are all pitted and the plating is all flaking off.

[@Patricksworkshop]

Hello Michael so when I cleaned up my handles mine had some rust bumps and spots the plating wasn't all flaking off so I was lucky so i began by wet sanding mine using 600 git sandpaper then buffed them with a cheap harbor freight buffing wheel they were good enough at first i was looking for new used ones on eBay buy i wanted to keep the handles that my Dad used

[@tooljunkie555]

that looks awesome patrick you did a great job bro!!!🍻🍻 is that a jobsite size table saw.looks like its a smaller size saw..look fwd to seeing what you do next man!

[@Patricksworkshop]

thanks Joe no this is a full size contractor saw - minus the wings and fence the saw to measures 27 x 20 (thats in inches for all you metric nuts )i have lots to do still before i can cut wood still need something to put this saw on and maybe clean up the old fence and mount the motor you know all the details

[@tooljunkie555]

Patrick's WorkShop always broke and all okay that explains why it looks small it's just the middle I'm a dummy I can't wait to see the whole thing finished love the color dude totally retro fifties

[@tooljunkie555]

It's belt-driven right obviously since it's old school just wondering and how many hp?🖒

[@lorenzo42p]

how does your saw look so light? I'm trying to remember if mine's that exact model, but mine appears 10-20 times heavier than yours, or am I just that weak? I'm not a huge guy, but I've managed to move the saw myself a few times.

[@draider3420]

They are extremely heavy. I think the motor removed isthe secret.

[@e.dbogan6266]

I have an old Craftsman, made in 1955. I am in the middle of restoration. Can you tell me what color you used for the cabinet housing? Did you get it at Sears? Thanks for the video, good work!

[@Patricksworkshop]

Hello E.D Bogan. I looked around in my paint cabinet to get the can but I must have tossed it. I know it was from the depot and Rust-Oleum was the brand. I think it was one of their metallic gold colors. there is only a couple to pick from

[@e.dbogan6266]

Patrick's WorkShop Thank you sir. That color looks a lot like the color of my saw. I'll look for that color and use that. Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work.
