Vintage Craftsman 113 Table Saw Restore

I was in search of which table saw I should buy on a budget. After hours of research I decided to go find a used Craftsman belt drive saw and rebuild it!

At this moment it hands down better and more versatile than any entry level direct drive saw on the market regardless of make or brand. So if you ask me about saw buying advice, my answer is buy a used one and make it like new!

In this video you will see the complete process of Craftsman 113.27520 table saw restoration.
