Craftsman 11329501 12" radial arm saw Parts

For the Craftsman 11329501 12-inch radial arm saw, table sizes vary because many saws have had the table boards replaced or rebuilt over time. A common 3-piece rebuild layout uses 6 1/2 inches (rear), 4 inches (middle), and 16 inches (front), with each piece 40 inches long and about 1 inch thick.

These measurements are widely used when making replacement table boards; always fit them to your saw’s supports and fence.

• Rear board (fence base): 6 1/2 inches wide
• Middle board (spacer): 4 inches wide
• Front board (work surface): 16 inches wide
• Length (all three): 40 inches
• Thickness (typical): about 1 inch

Because the table is a wear item and often customized, confirm these fit points before cutting new boards:

• Match the mounting hole pattern and support locations on your saw
• Verify the fence line can be set straight and squared to the arm
• Ensure the front board leaves full blade travel and adequate kerf area
• After installation, re-cut the kerf line for accurate blade tracking

A flat table and straight fence control cut accuracy and safety on a radial arm saw; the front section is sacrificial so you can replace it when it gets chewed up.

Craftsman radial arm saws (including the Craftsman 11329501 12-inch radial arm saw) were primarily produced and sold during the mid-to-late 20th century, and new-model availability declined as miter saws became the standard for crosscuts. For repairs today, the key is matching parts by the exact model number and component specs.

When customers ask this, it typically refers to one of these practical milestones:

• Sears stopped regularly offering new Craftsman radial arm saw models in catalogs and stores
• Production shifted away from radial arm saws as demand moved to miter saws
• Replacement parts became less standardized as models aged

Because this is an older saw, focus on identification and condition first, then parts matching.

• Confirm the ID plate shows model 11329501 (not just “113.29501” style formatting)
• Inspect the power cord, switch, and wiring for heat damage or cracked insulation
• Check carriage travel and arm lock for smooth movement and secure clamping
• Spin the arbor by hand (unplugged) to feel for bearing roughness
• Verify blade diameter and arbor size before buying a replacement blade

Knowing the era helps set expectations: older radial arm saws often run for decades, but electrical insulation, bearings, and alignment points wear over time. A careful inspection and correct spec matching prevents repeat failures.

For help locating the correct diagrams and compatible replacements by model number, use how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts) or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

For your Craftsman model 11329501 12-inch radial arm saw, the most reliable way to buy replacement parts is to look up parts by the exact model number on Sears PartsDirect. That helps you match the correct part to your saw’s specific version and production run.

Before ordering, we recommend confirming the model number and any prefix/suffix on the ID plate, then using that exact information when searching.

• Verify the model number is 11329501 (not a similar 113.29xxxxx number)
• Note any additional numbers on the tag (type, serial, or revision)
• Identify the failed area first (switch, cord, motor, arbor, guard, yoke, carriage)
• Compare photos and descriptions to your existing part
• If hardware is missing, measure diameter and thread pitch before buying

Radial arm saws often have multiple configurations over time, so model-based lookup reduces returns and downtime.

Using the exact model number for your Craftsman 11329501 helps ensure the replacement part fits correctly and performs safely, especially for critical items like the power switch, wiring, and blade guard components.
