This repair went well and IвЂ™m hoping to get at least another 10 years out of this trusty table saw. Here are a couple pictures of the armature with the new bearing installed: Turns out my neighbor had a Harbor Freight floor press which made the new bearing installation effortless and error free. USA Bearing & Belts had the 6200ZZ in stock for $2.19 ($3 s/h). The rear bearing on this model is marked 6200ZZ (metal seal) and the front, which was fine and didnвЂ™t need replaced, is marked 6201RS (rubber seal). They only sell the armature as a whole for about $120.Д«earings are always marked on the seals. They do for other models, but not this one.

Sears Parts Direct will not just sell you the bearing for this model. You will need to clamp it behind the bearing so the puller has something to grab on to or youвЂ™ll have to cut the bearing off using a Dremel and cutoff wheel. You most likely will need a bearing separator like the one shown: There is little to no clearance to get just a puller on it. The hardest part of this repair is getting the old pressed on bearing off the armature. Turns out this is a common issue with this particular model and motor due to the rear bearing being sourced from China. So I tore it apart and found the rear bearing on the motor actuator was totally cooked to the point I couldnвЂ™t get it to turn at all. It recently started smoking and then totally seized up. I got it home, plugged it in, and tried running a 1/2'. I have had good luck with other older power tools, which I like because they are built like TANKS (my old jointer is great) and are cheap on Craigslist.

Hello, Today, I picked up my first table saw - a VERY old Craftsman 100 10' model. Good judgment and to safely operate old machinery. A table saw typically uses more of a table-like setup, so it gets the official designation of being the real table saw at least thatвЂ™s how I explain it to myself. Themselves may not meet modern standards. The term table saw can be a little vague in a general sense at first, especially if youвЂ™re already aware of saws like a band saw, which also uses a sort of flat surface around the blade.

The 1966 Craftsman 'Floor' Model table was the last year this saw was made in the US by Emerson in TN who just ran with the original King-Seeley design of this table saw that was introduced in 1953.ДЄ mortise and tenon wood stand was made for for this saw and I also still have the original Craftsman metal stand. The Model '100' 10 inch bench saw was made in 1964 which was the first year that Emerson took over the Craftsman power tool contract for Sears buying out all the King-Seeley designs and inventory stock. NOTE about photo 3 below: This picture has 3 vintage Craftsman saws together in my shop, the 8 inch Model '80' bench saw was bought brand new by my Grandfather in 1950 (dirty paper is dated 1949) which is the first year this saw was introduced by Sears. I replaced both the arbor bearings with new high quality ones and installed two new machined steel pulleys and a green link belt. I also stripped the body down to bare metal and used my own custom mix again of 'King-Seely' Grey two part Awl Grip polyurethane paint for this project. I power washed all the old dust and mud dober nests from the underside. This Model 100 was just dusty and had hardly even been used over the years by the PO or the new owner who just had it set up not running with the arbor pulley not installed correctly. The PO owner who made some very nice rustic type cedar furniture told me he had done some work for someone who gave him the saw in payment, the old lady who gave him the saw told him this table saw belonged to her deceased husband and that he had bought it brand new at Sears in 1964. The saw was listed on the Austin C'list and when I went out to see it in the old covered turkey barn it was on the Craftsman original metal stand, had the original Craftsman 1-HP motor on it, both waffle type optional extension wings,the original miter gauge and rip fence set up. I found this 1964 Craftsman 100 bench saw in Johnson City, TX on a 350 acre ranch that used to be a turkey farm going back to the early 1900's to restore for a friend.
