I NEED A MANUAL

In my search, this is the closest band saw to 11.324200 that have almost the same structures and features. 113.24201 band saw . You can download the manual from there. If you need a blade, I recommend you to visit sawblade.com , they custom made blades, I ordered my blades from them .

according to the part number for the standard blade it is 80in. Let me know if you need more assistance

Here is a link to the parts diagrams.  You can order new parts and have them shipped right to your home.

Hi Dwayne, your Motor can be purchased from Sears at this link:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/816613/0009/113&pathTaken=partSearch&blt=14&prst=0

Just by looking at the date code, I would imagine 1987, 3rd week

I hope this helps.

carter makes a bolt on replacement.

I have the 113247410 (I think this most likely the one you have) the part # for the manual is SP5085 if Sears does'nt have it type in craftsman electronic bandsaw manuals and you will fing a website. Hope this helps

Two potential issues here:

a.) You probably need to align your bandsaw wheels. Here's a link to a craftsman 12" bandsaw manual. Assuming you have model 113243310, 113243311, 113243300, or a similar model, read over page 12-14 "Installing the blade". Specifically, look at section 10 about adjusting the tracking.

Having the blade guides set properly is important too. A thrust bearing (the one up top, behind the blade) that's set too far forward can push the blade off the wheels too.

b.) If it's flat out too loose and you can't get it tight, the blade might be too long. It's worth double checking your manual to confirm you are supposed to be using an 80" blade and double checking the blade package to make sure you actually have an 80" blade.

Hello. Go to this link http://www.searspartsdirect.com

Enter the model number and you will see a menu of choices for parts and the manual for your saw. J.

Go to Searspartsdirect.com and type in your model number it will take you to another page where you can look at a breakdown or get a manual ( on the right hand side) you will need to sign up for a free access account to get this manual. I checked and they do have it about 32 pages long
