Terrific video. Thanks for being so thorough. I found the print size so small in the manual that I was struggling to attach these accessories. You made my life much easier - appreciate it!!
The blade guard fell off somehow and my husband had a hard time figuring how to reattach it. We had no one to call on a Saturday and he was at the job site. So I found this video and at 4:05 minutes it explained and showed exactly how to remount the blade guard. We are so grateful for this video. He had only used his new saw a few times and this saved the day.
Great work here. My 90 year old father in law just bought this saw and asked me to come over tomorrow night to assist with assembly. After watching this video, I'm extremely confident that I'll be able to assist! Thanks so much!
Thanks. I'm pretty handy but the Riving Knife got me. I kept thinking it was a part I had to install not realizing it was down in the table. You did a great job. Thanks
Thank you so much for this. I bought this table saw over a year ago too intimidated to put it together once I pulled it out. Your video helped tremendously.
Don't be intimidated by nuts + bolts. Try! Show up . I haven't Put it together yet, but i will keep @ it till it fits. Now the spinning blade that's another story... Don't stand directly behind the work piece or pinch it against the fence. It will be launched. Wear PPE .
Thanks! I couldn't understand the included instructions for putting the stand together, but I needed to view your video only once. They should buy your video and use it.
Received this saw today and my eyesight was too poor to read the assembly instructions in small print from the manual. Thank you for saving me some time with your clear video!
Your video was great. Took me a couple minutes to put it together. This was after I struggled and wasn’t able to assemble it reading the instructions. Thanks so much.
I've been trying to figure out what table saw to get for almost a year now. I've always been a craftsman guy so I've had my eyes on this same but just haven't been sure about it. After actually seeing it today at Lowes and watching this video, I think I'm sold on getting it. The price is right for me right now and you've answered my questions I've had about setup (I keep seeing people say setup is tough because of the instructions). Greta video and thanks.
Ha😂 i’ve owned this tablesaw for two years now! And I just now set it up properly now I know what all these gauges are for. I was using it just to cut two by fours. This is awesome thank you for your help on this as this is certainly a game changer now sure I could read the directions.
If I could give 100 likes, I would. Well done assembly instructions. Craftsman can do away with the 3pt font horrible instructions and include a simple QR code to this RUclips link.
Have had brand new one in my shed still in the box cause I’ve been reluctant to put it together until I saw this video, now will dig it out and try to put it to use, thanks much!
Well. After seeing this video I believ I'm going to keep the saw. Today was the first time I used a circular and loved it even though i was intimidated by it as well as the table saw but this should make my cuts so much more easier. Appreciate you!
Many Thanks. This video helps tremendously and is a excellent form of reference. Why they even provide a table saw manual, its imposable to see even with my glasses. only the folks at craftsman know.
Thank you sir. I was struggling to put together my new saw, and with your video, it only took about 10 minutes. This is my first table saw, for home projects, hope it does a decent job.
I know that this video is 3 years old but I just found it! I bought this table saw a couple of months ago and I have been struggling to read the damn manual. I am beyond thankful for your easy to follow instructions. Craftsman needs to put your video on their product! I did have 1 question once i get the kick back and stuff on it do I need to worry about the blade like tighten it? or does it come ok to start up I am afraid to start it up and blade fly out LOL what can I say I am old and never used one before let alone put one together. Thank you very much for helping a old gal
I totally agree! Shocking instructions and the diagrams needed a magnifying glass to see.. This is an entry level saw so you would expect great diagrams .. labeled/numbered screws/bolts/attachments
Just a small warning. If you drop the blade nut watch out for sharp aluminum inside the dust shrouded. I dod not like the blade. So i replaced it with a thin kerf combo 50 tooth. I am in bandaids on 3 fingers from cutsfrom the aluminum dust shroud. So have a file handy for the sharp aluminum cast. On a better note. The thin kerf allows you to cut most hard wood with ease up to 1.5 inches. It never bogged down on my end grain cuttingboard work. Great table saw for the small shops.
@@roberte.wilson5213 Im looking up to the freud industrial 24T thin kerf rip. Its my first table saw so i do not want any accident to happen because of my lack of experience. Was your think kerf blade 2.4 mm or wider?
If anyone plans on using this in their shop mostly, I recommend the first things you cut are for a solid wooden stand for it. I found the legs a bit unsteady.
Great video. This should be the "go-to" video for setup. As others have mentioned, I struggled to even be able to read the text in the manual. Font is way too small. I gave up after setting up the legs. Found this video, now I'm good to go!
@@zachkline2448 I haven’t ordered it yet. Typically you can find the part number in the booklet or parts manual. If you don’t have that then Google the saw with model number and put parts manual after it (ie. Craftsman table saw model # parts manual). Then Google the part number. If you’re lucky, craftsman will have a website to sell the parts. In the past I’ve found that ordering directly from the manufacture can be cheaper. But in the event that the item is not popular or older, I’ve gotten lucky with Amazon ordering (but read reviews if that’s the route you take). Good luck. What were you missing btw? I’m missing the blade guard and mine came with two useless wrenches that I didn’t need during the assembly lol
Going to be moving out of state and my old full framed craftsman 220v is staying. Was looking at an inexpensive setup like this. Was thinking of ridgid jobsite with stand also but its $300
Was lookin at this one & the Skil which is a lil more, I bought the Skil after comparing & its way better,u get folding legs, a rip fence that locks down at 3 locations along with a geared movement that expands ur cuts,just a superior saw compared to the craftsman.
Would you recommend this saw? I’ve been on the fence about this since it went on sale. Some reviews say it’s bad and others say it’s good. I mainly build smaller projects with wood working.
Yes. I think it's great for household projects. However, I recently discovered the table itself is not metal. I attempted to use a Magswitch and could not. Other than that, no issues.
Just got mine today. Forget the instructions, and go to RUclips. A million thanks for simplifying things!
Terrific video. Thanks for being so thorough. I found the print size so small in the manual that I was struggling to attach these accessories. You made my life much easier - appreciate it!!

I'm usually pretty good at figuring things out, but the assembly process in a few places had me stumped. Thank God for your video!!
Thanks. I'm pretty handy but the Riving Knife got me. I kept thinking it was a part I had to install not realizing it was down in the table. You did a great job. Thanks
Excellent video instructions without music. Thanks to you I was able to put it together, the manual was so tiny.
Glad it helped!
Haha! I tried to zoom in with my fingers for a tired second... I will admit this to nobody else
Thank you so much for this. I bought this table saw over a year ago too intimidated to put it together once I pulled it out. Your video helped tremendously.

Man this would have come in handy when I started assembling last night 😂 Great Vid! Thanks for sharing 💜
Excellent video! Thanks! Visual and audio along with clear speech was outstanding.
I just got this yesterday at Lowe's black friday sale I just watched your post and put mine together I'll be using it tomorrow thanks for the sharing
Man, this was a really nicely done video of the assembly👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this video! So much easier than trying to see and figure out the instructions!
Thank you for getting to the point and explaining so well. Subscribed!
❤❤ Absolutely love this table saw. Perfect replacement for my weaker older Delta😊😊

Got one for Christmas this year. Can't wait to clean out my garage to make some room to put it together. Thank you for this video.
This allowed me to start my project faster today and with less frustration. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the help man! They should have a link in the instructions to your video.
Great directions .The paper book that came with it sucks .

Just purchased this table saw today. Your video was very clear and helpful with getting started. Thank you!
Have had brand new one in my shed still in the box cause I’ve been reluctant to put it together until I saw this video, now will dig it out and try to put it to use, thanks much!
Thank you for this video! This was much more helpful than the instructions that came with the saw. 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was struggling with the legs. You made it simple. Well done!
Glad it helped!

Very good. Getting the stand up was a big,big help. Good job and thanks.
Thank you very much for this video , it helps a lot to do it quick
Be smarter than the stand! Holy crap that thing was kicking my butt! Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this. You’re a lifesaver.
I heard your voice and thought, to myself "man this sounds like the guy I follow for my Acura maintenance videos." I wasn't wrong lol. Great video!
Many Thanks. This video helps tremendously and is a excellent form of reference. Why they even provide a table saw manual, its imposable to see even with my glasses. only the folks at craftsman know.
Wow! Awesome set up guide. Thank you!! I just purchased one yesterday. This was a great help.
Thank you sir your video just saved me a ton of headaches
This is my first table saw
And I didn't notice the lever for the riving knife
Thank you sir. I was struggling to put together my new saw, and with your video, it only took about 10 minutes. This is my first table saw, for home projects, hope it does a decent job.

I totally agree! Shocking instructions and the diagrams needed a magnifying glass to see.. This is an entry level saw so you would expect great diagrams .. labeled/numbered screws/bolts/attachments
Thank you so much! Such an easy tutorial for a newbie! Written directions with saw was like a foreign language to me😳
Great video. Didn't waste time with unnecessary stuff but was thorough with everything important.
Glad it was helpful!
Loved the Demo excellent Manuals are so confusing and inaccurate thank god 4 RUclips good job😊😮
Thank you so much. Fed up with that tiny microprint bs instruction manual. This helped a lot
Thank you so much for this video. So easy to follow.
I literally think I would have lost limbs if I did not watch this video

Did you have any problem with the riving knife while using the thin kerf blade?
@@luisvc11 not really but I did file an edge on the riving knife to make sure I did not.

@@luisvc11 There are some great table saw safety videos. Watch them all! ;) Happy wood-working to ya!
Thanks! I just assembled it with your instructions.
Excellent demo... Well done!
Thanks for making this video. Helped me a ton!
Glad it helped!
Outstanding! Thank you very Much 😎
If anyone plans on using this in their shop mostly, I recommend the first things you cut are for a solid wooden stand for it. I found the legs a bit unsteady.
Buy a stand from HF much better and cheaper than building it youself
Thank you Thank you the instructions we’re terrible this really helped
Happy to help!
What instructions? Haha
Great video. This should be the "go-to" video for setup. As others have mentioned, I struggled to even be able to read the text in the manual. Font is way too small. I gave up after setting up the legs. Found this video, now I'm good to go!
Good job. A helpful video.
Best value table saw you can get
Thank you for this because the damn instructions that came with it were no help. Also I’m missing a part 🙄 can’t wait to call on that lol
Where did you get parts? Im missing a couple parts.
@@zachkline2448 I haven’t ordered it yet. Typically you can find the part number in the booklet or parts manual.

What were you missing btw? I’m missing the blade guard and mine came with two useless wrenches that I didn’t need during the assembly lol
@@zachkline2448 I thought I was missing parts too b but it turns out they were just placed very inconspicuously on the underbelly and sides
Thanks! Directions were right on!
When replacing the two new belts on this table saw, are they cut and then glued to the pulley.
excellent video bro
Thank you 👍
Very useful video. thanks.
Going to be moving out of state and my old full framed craftsman 220v is staying. Was looking at an inexpensive setup like this. Was thinking of ridgid jobsite with stand also but its $300
I don't like asking my husband to do something more then once cause then it's just nagging so here I am. Pray for my fingers lol
Great video!
Thanks!
How do you like the saw? There’s one on special this week at $199….
My craftsman had the anti-kickback pawls already attached under the table, and for the life of me, I don't know how to remove it. Can you help?
Can we assemble this with shoes or sandals are required?
Thank you 🙏
How is the guide? Delta has a similar one for much less, but as I understand the guide is jumpy. Is this stable?
Was lookin at this one & the Skil which is a lil more, I bought the Skil after comparing & its way better,u get folding legs, a rip fence that locks down at 3 locations along with a geared movement that expands ur cuts,just a superior saw compared to the craftsman.
Thanks!
Lol i didnt see the plywood after the cut, how it looks
Thanks for sharing bud
Would you recommend this saw? I’ve been on the fence about this since it went on sale. Some reviews say it’s bad and others say it’s good. I mainly build smaller projects with wood working.
I just ordered one. I think for any saw under $200 it's the best. Get it man I'm sure it's good
Yes. I think it's great for household projects. However, I recently discovered the table itself is not metal. I attempted to use a Magswitch and could not. Other than that, no issues.
Can you use a dado blades on this saw? If so what size?
❤ I love mine too
Can you use dado blades on this saw?
Thanks for your video...
How much price and table saw measurement ?
Whats the attachment to the left purpose for the first one you grabbed in your video.
Sorry to the right of the on switch. On the outside of the saw.
Thank you for this. I needed a visual and this was perfect! Directions were not helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
what does the thing at 4:32 do?
Do or did you have to tighten the blade before use out of the box ??
It's important to check all cutting tools before initial use for safety with power unplugged. Don't ever
assume it is particularly on a job site.
Man, you straining too much even doing the easy tasks, what size dado can you run on this saw?
You did not show how to install the riving knife which was why I wanted to watch this video.
dang could’ve showed us the cut. otherwise good video
To many safety features, but would be good for a beginner.
Thank you. Manual was not great
Glad it helped
Money
Thank you. The manual absolutely sucks.
And if your a real carpenter take the plastic guard and throw it in the trash
Don’t buy this piece of garbage, mine won’t work at all, it keeps tripping
garbage instructions
Get out of those crappy sandles when doing that type of work
