Craftsman 137271060 10" table saw Parts

If your Craftsman 137271060 10" table saw still runs, the best way to get rid of it is to sell or donate it; if it is unsafe or non-working, recycle it as metal and dispose of the blade separately so it cannot injure anyone handling it.

• Sell it if it powers on and the fence, blade guard, and switch work normally.
• Donate it only if it is complete and safe to use (guard and riving knife present, no exposed wiring).
• Give it away for parts if the motor runs but alignment, arbor, or elevation/tilt mechanisms are worn.
• Recycle as scrap metal if it is broken, missing key safety parts, or has a damaged frame.
• Use a bulk pickup or junk-haul service if you cannot transport it.

1. Unplug the saw and remove the power cord from the work area.
2. Remove the blade and pack it separately.
3. Lock down moving parts (lower the blade fully; set bevel to 0 degrees).
4. Bag small hardware (throat plate, miter gauge, arbor nut, washers) so nothing becomes a hazard.

Table saws are heavy and have sharp, high-injury components (blade teeth, cast edges, springs). Securing or separating those parts prevents injuries during loading, transport, and recycling.

The Craftsman 137271060 is a 10-inch table saw, so it uses a 10-inch blade (commonly a 5/8-inch arbor hole on most 10-inch saw blades). For best results, match the blade type to your cut (rip, crosscut, or combination).

Before you buy or install a blade, check these fit points on your saw and blade packaging:

• Blade diameter: 10 inches
• Arbor hole size: most 10-inch blades are 5/8 inch
• Blade kerf: thin-kerf blades reduce load; full-kerf blades are more rigid
• Max RPM rating: blade rating should meet or exceed the saw’s no-load speed
• Tooth count: fewer teeth for ripping, more teeth for smoother crosscuts

Using the correct 10-inch blade helps your Craftsman table saw cut straighter, reduces burning and kickback risk, and keeps the motor from working harder than it should.

No. Many 10-inch table saws use a standard miter slot that fits common miter gauges, but miter slot size and the slot profile are not universal. For your Craftsman 137271060 table saw, the right way to confirm fit is to measure your slot before buying a miter gauge, sled runner, or featherboard.

Use a caliper or a good tape measure and check these points:

• Slot width at the top opening (side-to-side)
• Slot depth (top surface down to the bottom of the slot)
• Any undercut or T-slot lip (a wider area below the opening)
• Runner bar thickness your accessory requires
• How many slots you have and their spacing (helps with crosscut sleds)

Most accessories are built around a few common standards. Use this as a quick comparison, then verify with your measurements.

A loose-fitting miter bar can cause slop in crosscuts and miters; a too-tight bar can bind and pull the workpiece off line. Getting the slot size right helps your miter gauge track smoothly, improves cut accuracy, and reduces kickback risk.

• Choose a miter gauge with an adjustable expansion bar if your slot is slightly oversized.
• If you use a crosscut sled, consider UHMW plastic runners you can plane/sand to a perfect fit.
• If your saw has a T-slot, confirm the accessory is designed for T-slots (not just standard slots).
• When in doubt, search accessories by your model number on Sears PartsDirect so you can compare options more confidently.

The best table saw depends on how you will use it: jobsite portability, shop accuracy, safety features, and budget. For most people, the “best” choice is the saw that matches your work style (portable jobsite vs. contractor vs. cabinet) and has a stable fence, adequate rip capacity, and reliable blade alignment.

When we help customers with a Craftsman 137271060 10" table saw, we focus on the same decision points that matter for any brand.

• Type of saw: jobsite (portable), contractor, hybrid, or cabinet
• Safety features: riving knife, blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, and a large paddle switch
• Fence quality: locks parallel, stays square, and adjusts smoothly
• Rip capacity: common ranges are about 24 to 32-1/2 in. on many jobsite saws
• Power source: corded (common for 10-inch saws) vs. cordless convenience
• Dust collection: improves visibility and reduces cleanup

If your Craftsman 137271060 is cutting poorly, the issue is often setup or wear, not the “brand.” Check these first:

• Blade condition: dull or pitch-loaded blades cause burning and wandering cuts
• Fence parallelism: fence must be parallel to the blade to reduce binding and kickback
• Blade-to-miter-slot alignment: misalignment hurts accuracy and increases kickback risk
• Riving knife/guard installed and aligned: improves safety and cut quality
• Arbor bearings and belt (if equipped): noise or vibration points to wear

A table saw is only “best” when it cuts accurately and safely for your projects. Matching the saw type to your workspace and keeping the fence, blade, and safety hardware properly aligned reduces kickback risk and improves cut quality.

Yes, a 10-inch table saw can cut a 4x4, but the cut is usually not one pass. On the Craftsman 137271060 10-inch table saw, the max depth of cut at 90° is 3 inches; a 4x4 is about 3-1/2 inches thick, so you finish by flipping the lumber.

A “4x4” is nominal sizing; the actual thickness is typically about 3-1/2 inches. The deciding spec is maximum depth of cut at 90° (blade fully raised).

• 3-1/2 inches or more: one-pass cut
• Less than 3-1/2 inches: flip cut (two passes)
• Blade diameter (10-inch) does not guarantee 4x4 capacity
• A sharp blade and correct fence alignment reduce burning and binding

• Set the blade to full height and lock the height adjustment.
• Use the rip fence (not the miter gauge) for ripping; keep the board tight to the fence.
• Make the first pass, then rotate the 4x4 180° keeping the same face against the fence.
• Complete the cut with a steady feed rate; use a push stick for the last 12 inches.
• If the kerf starts to close, stop feeding and correct alignment to reduce kickback risk.

Trying to force a one-pass cut when the saw’s depth is shorter can pinch the blade and increase kickback risk. Using a controlled flip cut matches the Craftsman 137271060’s 3-inch capacity and produces a straighter, safer cut.
