Craftsman Saws - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Trying to cut any size piece of wood the saw blows
Are you operating the saw on a 10 amp circuit or with a long extension cord? Table saws need at least a 15 amp circuit and should not be used with an extension cord. If absolutely necessary the extension cord should be no less than 12 guage. Tabel saws will run OK on a 10 amp circuit but as soon as you apply a load (try to cut wood) the power requirements go up to keep the saw turning. If you can, plug it into another outlet on a higher capacity circuit breaker or at least closer to the breaker box. If it still pops the breaker you may have bearing problems in the motor that are creating too much friction. This would make the motor work harder to turn so it would draw excessive power and trip the breaker.
How to install drive belts on a craftsman table saw model # 218290?
Remove the side panel (key number 21) the dust cover (key number 23) guide holder (key number 29).
Use a 19MM or a 3/4 inch deep socket with a long extension and ratchet. This will keep your hand out of the way.
Now rotate the arbor counter clockwise and deflect the top edge of the belt downwards onto the arbor to catch the grooves.
Continue to work the belt around and checking at the motor shaft.
Once the belt is in place work it down by deflecting the top edge of the belt.

How to remove the bearing #30571 on a Craftsman Radial Arm saw model 113.29003
Removing bearing #30571 on a Craftsman Radial Arm saw model 113.29003 can be a bit challenging, but it can be done with the right tools and techniques. Here are the steps you can take to remove the bearing:
- Unplug the saw from the power source.
- Use a wrench or pliers to loosen and remove the bolt or nut that holds the bearing in place.
- Carefully remove the bearing from the saw. If it is difficult to remove, you may need to use a bearing puller.
- Clean the bearing and the area around it with a clean rag or brush.
- Inspect the bearing for any damage or wear. If it is damaged or worn, it will need to be replaced.
- Once the bearing is removed, cleaned, and inspected, install the new bearing if needed, and reattach the bolt or nut to hold it in place.
- Before turning the saw back on, make sure to test the saw operation before using it.
It is important to mention that this is a general guide, the exact steps and tools may vary depending on the particular model, so you may want to consult your saw's manual or the manufacturer for more specific instructions. Also, be aware that working with any power tools can be dangerous, always use the appropriate safety gear and take caution.

Saw blades are tempered steel and you would need to use good drill bits to get a clean hole. You also need to use a center punch to mark and start the hole.
Broken piece on an old Craftsman table saw
Boy I would be livid if it were my saw. I had a similar problem with a very old marine engine I resrored. A casting was damaged and not avalabled so I went to a machine shop who sent it or to be welded and than the shop tooled it. You can give it a try if you can't find the part. Good luck.
