Craftsman 137248760 10" table saw Parts

Yes. A 10-inch table saw like the Craftsman 137248760 can cut a 4x4 (actual thickness about 3-1/2 inches), but it typically takes two passes (flip the board) because most 10-inch blades only reach roughly 3 inches of cut depth at 90 degrees.

What to expect on a 10-inch saw

Most 10-inch table saws are limited by blade diameter and arbor height, so a full 3-1/2 inch cut usually requires a second pass.

• Plan on two cuts: one side, then flip end-for-end and finish the cut
• Use a rip blade (lower tooth count) for thick stock
• Feed slow and steady; forcing the cut increases burning and kickback risk
• Keep the 4x4 flat to the table and tight to the fence (no rocking)
• Use outfeed support for long stock so the board does not lift or twist

Safer ways to make the cut

If you need a lot of 4x4 cuts, other tools often do it more cleanly in one pass.

Tool	Typical result on a 4x4	Best use case
10-inch table saw	Two-pass cut	Repetitive rips when you can control stock well
12-inch miter saw	Often one-pass crosscut	Cutting 4x4s to length
Band saw	One-pass cut with less kickback tendency	Thick ripping and resawing

Setup checklist (reduces binding and kickback)

• Set blade height so gullets clear the top surface (usually about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the wood)
• Confirm the fence is parallel to the blade
• Use a push stick/push block; keep hands away from the blade path
• Stand slightly to the side of the cut line, not directly behind the board
• Do not cut twisted or bowed 4x4s without jointing/straightening first

Why it matters

A 4x4 is thick enough that a stalled cut can pinch the blade and cause binding. Planning for a controlled two-pass method helps you get a straighter cut and reduces the chance of kickback.

If your Craftsman 137248760 10" table saw still runs, the best way to get rid of it is to sell it or give it away. If it is broken, we recommend removing the blade and cord, then recycling the metal frame and taking the motor and wiring to an approved e-waste drop-off.

Best disposal options (in order)

• Sell or donate (working saw): List it locally and include the model number 137248760 and key accessories (rip fence, miter gauge, blade guard).
• Recycle as scrap metal (non-working saw): Most of the stand and table are recyclable metal once separated from non-metal parts.
• E-waste the motor and wiring: Treat the motor, switch, capacitor, and wiring as e-waste.
• Municipal bulky-item pickup: Many cities accept power tools as bulky metal items (rules vary).
• Junk removal service: Useful if the saw is rusted, incomplete, or unsafe to transport.

Safety steps before you move or dispose of it

• Unplug the saw and remove any extension cord.
• Remove the blade; wrap it in cardboard and tape it so it cannot cut through a bag.
• Remove loose accessories (fence, miter gauge, throat plate) and bag the hardware.
• If the saw has a damaged cord or exposed wiring, tape the cord end and avoid handling bare conductors.
• Vacuum out sawdust; fine dust can spill during transport.

What to recycle vs. trash

Component	Best option	Notes
Cast/steel table, stand, rails	Scrap metal recycling	Remove plastic knobs and rubber feet if required locally
Motor, switch, wiring	E-waste recycling	Often accepted at municipal e-waste events
Blade	Scrap metal recycling	Handle as sharp metal; wrap securely
Plastic guards, small covers	Trash or mixed recycling (local rules)	Check your local program

Why it matters

Disposing of a table saw the right way reduces injury risk from sharp blades and prevents electrical components (motor, wiring, capacitors) from ending up in the wrong waste stream.

Parts and model number tip

If you are replacing parts instead of disposing of the saw, start by matching the full model number 137248760 when searching. You can look up diagrams and parts by model on the parts list for this saw, or search more broadly on Sears PartsDirect.

A Craftsman 137248760 10" table saw is typically priced based on condition and what is included (stand, fence, blade, miter gauge). For a used “professional” style saw in good working order, most listings land in the mid-hundreds of dollars; check current local listings to pin down today’s going rate.

Typical price ranges you’ll see

Prices vary most by condition, completeness, and whether the motor runs smoothly under load.

• As-is / needs repair: often $50 to $200
• Working, average wear: often $200 to $450
• Clean, tuned, with accessories: often $350 to $650
• With upgraded fence or mobile base: often $450 to $800

Condition	What it usually means	Typical value impact
Needs work	Won’t start, missing guard, rough bearings	Lowest
Working	Cuts straight, normal noise, basic accessories	Mid
Tuned and complete	Accurate fence, smooth elevation/tilt, guard/riving knife present	Higher

What to check before you pay more

These items drive value because they affect safety, accuracy, and repair cost.

• Fence locks parallel and doesn’t drift when you push stock
• Blade raises/lowers and tilts smoothly (no binding)
• Arbor has minimal play; no grinding or squealing from bearings
• Switch works reliably; cord and plug are undamaged
• Table is flat; no cracks in the trunnion or handwheels
• Safety hardware is included (blade guard, splitter or riving knife, anti-kickback pawls)

Why it matters

A table saw that is missing safety parts or has worn bearings can cost more to put right than the purchase price. Paying for a complete, accurate Craftsman 137248760 usually saves time and improves cut quality.

Finding parts and diagrams

If you’re pricing repairs, match replacement components by model number and diagram so you get the correct fit for Craftsman 137248760. For broader parts searching by model number, use Sears PartsDirect.

To date a Craftsman table saw, we start by confirming the exact model number and serial number from the saw’s ID label. For Craftsman model 137248760 (10" table saw), the most reliable “age” clue is the serial number format used on your specific unit, plus any date codes on the motor or switch.

Where to find the model and serial number

Look for an ID label or stamped plate in these common spots:

• On the rear of the saw cabinet or stand
• On the underside of the table near the front edge
• Near the power switch housing
• On the motor nameplate (often has its own serial/date code)

If the label is missing or unreadable, use our guide: how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts).

How to interpret the serial number (what usually works)

Craftsman serial numbers are not one universal system across all years and factories, so we use a practical approach:

• Check for a 2-digit year at the start or end of the serial (example pattern: YY...)
• Look for a week code (often YYWW... where WW is the production week)
• Compare multiple date clues: saw label, motor tag, and switch tag often agree within the same year
• Older Craftsman saws (especially some legacy series) may use different date-code conventions than newer models

Quick “date clue” checklist

What you find	What it usually means	How to use it
YYWW pattern	Year and production week	Convert YY to year; WW to week number
Motor nameplate date	Motor build date	Use as a strong estimate for saw build timeframe
UL/CSA file label info	Certification reference	Helpful for confirming era, not an exact build date

Why it matters

Knowing the approximate build year helps us match the right replacement parts (switches, belts, arbor components, guards, and fence hardware) and avoid ordering look-alike parts that changed across production runs.

Ordering the right parts once you’ve dated it

After you confirm the model and capture the full serial number, use the parts list for model 137248760 first. If you need to broaden your search by model number or part category, we recommend using Sears PartsDirect.
