Gerald,
I still have my father's Craftsman table saw. Amazingly enough, considering
how many times the saw and its owners have moved since it was bought (maybe
40-45 years ago), I still have the operating instructions that came with it.
(Actually, it's fairly amazing I even have the saw, I suppose.) I'd have
replied to your request sooner, but first I had to locate the instructions.
The saw is a model number 113.29920 10-inch titling arbor bench saw. It has
a heavy cast iron table and two cast iron extensions. The manual has
instructions for aligning the blade. The only question I suppose is whether
or not they'd be applicable to your saw.
If you'd like to give it a go, I can scan in the manual (eight pages) and
put them up on my web site or type in the relevant section(s) of the manual
for you. They refer to parts in the exploded views, else I'd just go ahead
and type them in. Let me know.
