#OLD CRAFTSMAN TABLE SAW DUST COLLECTION HOW TO#
But I cannot figure out how to remove the riving knife.
The latter I have not even installed as they will always be in the way. Blade guards and anti-kickback pawls are stored at the sides of the table. The saw comes with a fitted riving knife. I personally can't see how this accessory will be of any help, but here is a YouTube video of someone using something similar on a Bosch saw (jump to 2:42). It attaches to the rip fence as shown in Fig. to prevent hands from getting too close to the blade".
#OLD CRAFTSMAN TABLE SAW DUST COLLECTION MANUAL#
There is an accessory stored on the right hand side of the saw, near the rip fence, that the Instruction Manual calls the "sub fence assembly" (page 19). It would probably be perpendicular to the table if the table was flat (see below). The fence locks firmly and, as far as I can tell, is reliably parallel to the blade. If it balks, just lift it and blow the sawdust from the slot it rides in. You can jostle it along in small steps to get where you want it to be. When unlocked, you can pick it straight up and put it down in a new position (or stow it in brackets on the right hand side of the saw). What at first suggested to me that I'd made a good decision was the rip fence. In fact, I'll start with the things I was pleased with, or at least not immediately disappointed with. I'll try to keep in mind how little money I spent on it in fairness to the manufacturer. So, I'm going to tell you what I think of the saw, feature by feature. On September 21, 2019, bigelite94 posted his sixth YouTube video in which he spends a minute and a half walking around the assembled saw saying things like "it is what it is". Three months ago an apparent power tool enthusiast posted pictures of its box. The Craftsman Web site does not list any table saws at all. References to this saw on the Internet are almost non-existent. I could have afforded a $500 saw, but I didn't have the time to figure out which was the right $500 saw to buy. The other options seemed to start at about $500. He said that if I didn't like it I could take it back, but I can't in all honesty do that as it's no longer in saleable condition. The guy there knew nothing about the saw (they were all boxed - there wasn't one on display). Here's a link to the product page at Lowes. My advice to anyone considering purchasing this product is to spend a little more money unless your requirements are very basic indeed. The saw does the job I bought it for (sawing shingles), but anything more demanding is a struggle. One month later, I have to admit that I'm disappointed, even allowing for the low price (which, by the way, has since been reduced to $159.99). My thinking was that for that little money it would be hard for the saw to be disappointingly bad. On October 24, I purchased a Craftsman CMXETAX69434502 table saw from Lowes for $199.99. Winter was closing in and I needed to get the house protected so I couldn't spend a lot of time selecting a replacement. I was in the middle of re-shingling part of the house and needed a table saw to square up the shingles after they were back-primed. But now the motor would not spin up at all, instead making a horrible noise and then triggering the circuit breaker. To start the motor, I had to flick the blade into motion with a stick. The handle for tightening the rip fence had broken off and other handles were loose. It had been falling apart slowly for years. On October 21, 2019, my 25-year-old Craftsman table saw died.
