Cliff Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Craftsman #113 TS decommission Yup my old buddy is retired for good. Sort of. About 40+ years ago I got it from Sears as some kind of defect. Some kind. I can't recall what was off about it. Damaged box? Over time it got a new rip fence and I made a heavy steel miter fence for it too. Anyway I mounted it on a frame and ran the daylights out of it up until some years ago when I got a Hammer K3. The old TS served as my metal cutting saw for a while and eventually I got a better option and it's sat silent ever since. So I took it apart today. Ahh the memories. That saw never bit me. Trunion is off, cast iron top is off, The sheet metal body remains and I have the aluminum side table too. Now what to do with it. I built a large disc sander from a honkin huge aluminum jig plate disc that goes on my lathe but I never built the table. I'm thinking of sawing the cast iron table in half to lighten it and get a long flat section and using that. So then what about the trunnion? What do you do with an old TS trunnion?

Larry Buskirk Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Cliff, As Ron suggested post the parts on ebay. You might be surprised what some of those parts end up going for. Courtland 1 Quote
