You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
Put this model together today in about 2 hours. Instructions were ok,, but not stellar. Got the knife put in, and debating if I even want to use the kickback pawls or that plastic guard. I am liking the fence, the outfeed support, and the extension wings. Building a crosscut sled will require cutting off the 8 tabs that are designed for the miter gauge. I prefer a sled for miters and crosscuts. All in all, I am happy with this saw so far.
For everyone saying the instructions were bad....okay, they weren't great. But if you can figure out that the base is rectangular (hint: the saw housing is rectangular), then you will be able to figure out which cross members span between each of the legs. Also, most people didn't just hand-tighten the nuts, set the frame upright, put a force across the top to allow everything to reposition, and then tighten. The instructions only take one so far. Common sense should allow for the rest. This took me 45 min and there's no reason it should take longer.
De no ser por este vídeo ... Mi sierra nueva estaría echa mierda por un ataque de rabia que me hubiera dado de no poderla armar con todo y su instructivo que algunas cosas no se entienden bien. (Dibujos) 👍🏽
@@BlackFinCrewFishinglife .... Pues la verdad es que muy bien, no le pide nada a otras, la marca Craftsman es muy buena, tengo un router de la misma marca y también me ha salido de maravilla. 👌🏼
@@chungwunsumplum1897 ME LA QUIERO COMPRAR, ME GUSTA LA CARPINTERIA COMO HOBBY COSAS SUPER BASICAS Y TAL VEZ SEA MUCHO PARA LO QUE LA OCUPARE PERO NO ESTÁ DE MAS TENER ALGO PUES BUENO A ALGO CORRIENTE, AL IGUAL QUE SE PUEDE HACER POR LO QUE SÉ PERO PERO ME LLAMA LA ATENCIÓN ÉSA COMO ALGUNAS OTRAS PORQ SE PUEDE DESMONTAR O NO ES TAN ESPACIOSA. LA OTRA PREGUNTA ES... ¿CUANDO AJUSTAS POR EJEMPLO UN ANGULO DE 45 GRADOS PARA HACER EL CORTE SI SE FIJA BIEN LOS TOPES O SE AFLOJAN O SON IMPRESISOS EN LAS MEDIDAS?
@@BlackFinCrewFishinglife .... Pues mira ... Yo honestamente no me dedico a la carpintería, pero.... Desde hace aproximadamente unos 3 años... Me empezó a llamar muchísimo la atención la carpintería, yo soy ingeniero mecánico, trabajo en un taller de torno, fresadora y rectificadora, y soldadura, me dedico a hacer moldes de inyección, soplado y cualquier tipo de piezas de casi todos los materiales, entonces..... Para mí la carpintería se me hace muchísimo más fácil, que claro... Tiene su chiste también, pero no es tan difícil como hacer un molde o alguna pieza que llevan medidas muy precisas, y bueno.... Yo poco a poco me he ido comprando mis herramientas para la carpintería... Y déjame decirte que si vas a invertir en alguna herramienta, ... La sierra de mesa, sería una excelente inversión, ya que con esa puedes hacer miles de cortes, y de tamaños largos y anchos, antes de comprarme esa mesa, de sierras tengo la circular y la llamada de inglete deslizable, pero... La circular.... Aunque si te ayuda mucho, la verdad es que los cortes no quedan muy derechos, tendrías que fijarla en algo bien o de plano tener un pulso excelente, la sierra de inglete deslizable te ayuda mucho, pero no abarca tanto de ancho, la que yo tengo que también es marca Craftsman, corta hasta 30 Cms de ancho.
Y con respecto a tu pregunta.. que disculpa que ya me desvíe mucho, pero quería darte algún consejo u opción y mi consejo sería que si es tu primer herramienta de carpintería y tienes la opción de comprarla, compratela, digo... No soy un experto en la carpintería, pero poco a poco me he ido dando cuenta que herramientas debo ir comprando y cuáles debí comprar primero, y si desde un principio hubiera sabido bien, pues sin dudarlo me la hubiera comprado, y bueno nuevamente ahora sí te respondo, la sierra si hace excelentes cortes, y el mango que tiene de color rojo en la parte de arriba, si tiene algo de juego, pero ... Es normal para que la tabla deslice bien y no de atore, y si hace cortes precísos, todo es cuestión de que agarres bien la tabla que vayas a cortar y queda muy bien. Disculpa por toda la biblia que te escribí, es mi humilde opinión. 😁
I wish there would have been some sound, and directions. I had trouble putting the bottom part of the stand together because the parts were so much alike, and the manual was little help in helping me identify the parts. I must have taken it apart a zillion times, and had fallen back on my favorite source for help, RUclips, and the two video I have seen so far have been of little help. I hope people who make video realize some of use need to hear the directions, as well as see how to do it. I do appreciate all of those many people who go to the trouble to make videos and share. Thank you.
Alguien podría decirme por favor, para qué sirve el botón color negro que dice reset? Está arriba del botón rojo de encendido y apagado, en mi sierra no funciona, está muy aguado al aplastarlo y no pasa nada.
Great for basic cutting of plywood and beginner projects. Not super accurate and fence is almost non-adjustable. The miter slots are smaller than standard and have annoying tabs that I ground off. If you don't, you can forget about making and using any sled that uses the miter slots. You are also forced to make your own rails for your sled. I have owned this for about 4 1/2 years and really wish I would have spent a bit more money.
+Robert Parr for the price, it does it's job. I do square the adjustable fence because it's not square on it's own. I use it for a few projects a year and it's light enough to move around easy for storage.
If anyone has this saw and has figured out a fix/upgrade for the slop in the miter bar in the miter guide I would sure be interested. Those 2 taps and all the slop in the fit between the bar and the guide are a huge pain in trying to get precise 90 degree cuts. Anyone have any improvement ideas for this problem?
Hi, I'm having trouble with the brace for the wheels. This video skips over finishing the middle braces. The last long brace piece doesn't line up/fit over the square slot in the end of the legs so I can't put bolts through. Any idea what I did wrong? Is it possible to use the wrong piece for the middle tier? The two long cross brace pieces look the same. The distance on the brace piece between the end of the piece and the slot, is different from the distance from the inside corner of the leg to the slot on the leg. The two slots are not overlapping.
+Michael Williams It's possible they factory put the wrong pieces in the box. Make sure all other bolts are loose and see if it's just a matter of not being squared up. You might have to see if they have a floor model that you can compare to up close. Sorry video was not more detailed.
It turns out that the cross braces have three sizes not two. So you have to use the right one for the wheel brace and the right one opposite that on the other side.
Thanks for the video. The manual is horrible. Enough said...The saw feels sturdy as well as the table for it. I till have a few refinements to finish but thanks for the video.
I bought this saw to replace an older less capable one, which I sold at a yard sale. I left it in the box for almost 2 months before I needed it, and reluctantly started to unpack and assemble it. With assembly instructions, you never know what you're going to get. The instructions with this model are horrible! They reference part numbers that have never been labeled in the book! along with poor pictures. I am going to take my laptop to the shop and follow along to put this together. I'll post.
Tabitha really did us a favor when she suggested I google Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible. I had been among the (lucky?) ones who got an opportunity to obtain a draft copy, it's great!
I have the older model (248830) - it is. I blew the fuse and no one from sears or craftsman has an ounce of anything in how to help me other than to lug the thing in. Gone are the days of "oh yeah, here's the part, it goes in like this." So mad. About to pick up my grandfather's Boice Crane 1948 saw.
DANGER Thee person assembling this table saw is wearing an oversize loose sweatshirt. Never wear loose sleeve or clothing when working with rotating equipment. It can easily be caught in the blade or on the shaft causing serious injury or death.
really thinking about getting this saw. How does it perform? Can it rip a full sheet of plywood easily without help from another person supporting it??
We love it. It's not for the pro, but for a hobbyist, it's worked out great for us with zero problems. For the price, what can one expect? I do appreciate your comment and I hope you will subscribe to my channel.

I wish there was audio with this video it would have made it more clear
Sorry. Thanks for the input though. I'll do better on future videos.
Thanks for video
I actually like this saw a lot. For those who say it's not Contractor Grade, well, I am not going to be using it for that. It's for home projects.

In typical Sears fashion, my box didn't include the "Riving Knife." Thanks for the video, it was very useful. Horrible instructions and packaging

I have not, but I will keep you posted if I do hear of something. I agree with you that the miter bar is not very precise on this Craftsman table saw.
Have this same saw... 5 years after.... You guys came up with a solution??
I chopped out the tabs with my angle grinder and built some very precise crosscut and miter sleds that work great.
