Hi guy's,
recently purchased my first table saw ( craftsman 113.299040) with the stamped steel extensions payed $70... spent many many laborious hours stripping everything down & de rusting and lubing.got it all put back together , runs great ,blade's square ect.after all that work i sorta feel like i have a connection to this saw.....
well today i found a great deal on another 113 but newer i believe 113.2986xx but with cast iron wings for only $40 so i picked it up. figuring the $40 is worth the cast iron extensions alone. so i figured id swap the wings/extensions and sell this one, well in my rush to get the saw i didn't notice it was missing a handle and the miter gauge.
anyways to my question, is there any reason to keep the newer saw over the older one? i noticed the newer saw's motor is listed at 1.5hp whereas my older saw is 1hp, are they really both the same? is one better than the other? also the handle on the newer saw if cheap crappy plastic. i really have to sell one of these as my single car garage is already packed and i justified the new purchase to the wife that i'd sell the other. any idea's on what the newer saw would be worth if i put the sheet metal wings/extensions on it, with the missing miter guage and one handle?
and on a side note are these saw's really worth putting a new fence on? i see lots of rigids going used for 300-400 used which is about the same amount of $$$ ill have into the craftsman by the time i put the new fence on. im not going to be making cabinet's or anything my wife just wanted me to make her some table's and misc stuff.
wow sorry for the long post, any thought's / insight appreciated.
thanks
