Craftsman 315228410 table saw Parts

Pricing for the Craftsman table saw model 315228410 depends on condition, included accessories (rip fence, miter gauge, blade guard), and local demand; most used, working contractor-style table saws like this commonly sell in the mid-hundreds of dollars. For model-specific identification details and parts diagrams, use the owner's manual.

Typical price ranges we see

These ranges are practical starting points for a Craftsman 315228410 in the U.S. resale market:

• $150 to $300: Runs but needs cleanup, alignment, or minor parts (sticky rails, rough fence travel)
• $300 to $500: Clean, fully working, fence and rails move smoothly, guards included
• $500+: Exceptional condition, upgraded fence or stand, extra blades and jigs included

Quick checklist that affects value

A buyer will usually pay more when these items are present and working:

• Rip fence locks square and slides smoothly (rails clean and waxed)
• Blade height and bevel adjustments move freely
• Riving knife or blade guard hardware is present
• Motor starts quickly and holds speed under load
• Table top is flat with minimal rust or pitting
• Miter gauge and throat plate are included

Condition-to-price guide

Condition	What it usually means	Typical impact on price
Needs alignment	Fence or blade not parallel; cuts drift	Lower by $50 to $150
Missing safety hardware	Guard or riving-knife parts missing	Lower by $50 to $200
Runs weak	Slow blade speed, brush wear, or motor issue	Lower by $100+

Why it matters

Table saw value is driven less by the model number and more by cut accuracy and completeness. A fence that is misaligned or rails that are dirty or sticky can make ripping unsafe and frustrating, and buyers price that risk in immediately.

Yes. On the Craftsman 315228410 (10-inch table saw), you can use an 8-inch blade as long as it fits the arbor and is rated for the saw’s speed; expect reduced maximum cut depth compared with a 10-inch blade. Confirm blade/arbor details in the owner's manual.

What to check before you install an 8-inch blade

• Arbor size: This saw’s blade arbor is 5/8 inch; the blade must have a matching 5/8-inch arbor hole (or the correct bushing).
• RPM rating: Use a blade rated at least 5,000 RPM (the saw’s no-load speed is about 3,600 RPM).
• Guard and riving knife alignment: Keep the blade guard installed for through cuts and make sure the riving knife fasteners are aligned and tightened.
• Clearance at full height and bevel: Raise and tilt the blade by hand (unplugged) to ensure nothing contacts the throat plate, guard, or riving knife.
• Cut type: Smaller blades are common for certain non-through operations; for through-sawing, keep guarding in place.

8-inch vs 10-inch blade: what changes

Item	10-inch blade (factory size)	8-inch blade (allowed if compatible)
Max cut depth	Higher	Lower
Feed effort	Normal	Often slightly easier in thin stock
Guard/riving knife fit	Designed around 10-inch	May need extra attention to alignment and clearance
Best use	General ripping/crosscutting	Specialty cuts or when reduced depth is acceptable

Why it matters

Blade diameter affects cutting capacity and how well the guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback features work together. Using a compatible blade and keeping the work supported and guided (rip fence, no freehand cuts) helps reduce binding and kickback.

No. Table saw arbor nuts are not all the same size because arbor diameters and thread specs vary by saw design. On the Craftsman 315228410, the manual lists a 5/8-inch blade arbor for a 10-inch blade; use the nut and flange hardware intended for this saw per the owner's manual.

What’s typically “standard” and what isn’t

Many 10-inch table saws use a 5/8-inch arbor so common 10-inch blades fit, but that does not guarantee the arbor nut (thread diameter, pitch, or wrench size) matches across brands or even across models.

• Blade bore size (the hole in the blade) is often standardized (commonly 5/8 inch on 10-inch blades)
• Arbor shaft diameter is often 5/8 inch on many 10-inch saws (including model 315228410)
• Arbor nut threads (diameter and pitch) can differ by manufacturer and model
• Wrench size for the nut can differ even when the arbor diameter is the same
• Left-hand vs right-hand threads can differ by design (important for tightening direction)

Quick reference: blade fit vs arbor nut fit

Item	What it affects	How consistent is it?
Blade diameter (10 in.)	Cut capacity and guard clearance	Common, but not universal
Blade bore (often 5/8 in.)	Whether the blade mounts on the arbor	Often consistent on 10-inch blades
Arbor diameter (5/8 in. on 315228410)	Whether the blade centers correctly	Varies by saw
Arbor nut thread and wrench size	Whether the nut fits and tightens safely	Varies a lot

Why it matters

Using the wrong arbor nut (or forcing a “close enough” nut) can prevent proper clamping of the blade, increase vibration, and raise the risk of the blade loosening during a cut. Correct hardware helps the blade run true and supports safer rip cuts and crosscuts.

Best practice for Craftsman 315228410

• Confirm the saw’s arbor and blade specs in the owner's manual
• Match replacement hardware to the exact model number 315228410
• Replace worn flanges/nuts as a set when possible to improve blade clamping
• If you are also changing the blade, follow a step-by-step guide such as how to replace a table saw blade
• For ordering, use the model-based parts lookup on this page or search by model at Sears PartsDirect

Yes. Craftsman table saws are a solid choice for many DIYers because they typically deliver good cutting power and practical safety features at a reasonable cost. For the Craftsman 315228410 (10-inch stationary table saw), the owner's manual shows it was designed with safety, performance, and dependability as priorities.

What “good” usually means for a table saw

A table saw is “good” when it stays accurate, cuts consistently, and is safe and serviceable over time. For the 315228410, the manual highlights features that support everyday accuracy and safer operation.

• 10-inch blade capacity (common size for home shops)
• Bevel handwheel and bevel scale for setting blade angle
• Adjustable positive stops to help repeat bevel angles
• Anti-kickback pawls to reduce kickback risk
• Miter gauge and rip fence use cases called out for common cuts

Strengths you can expect from the 315228410 design

Based on the documented features, this model is well-suited for basic ripping, crosscutting, and bevel work when it is properly aligned and maintained.

What you care about	What this model provides	What to watch for
Bevel cuts	Bevel handwheel, bevel scale, positive stops	Verify the scale with a square for best accuracy
Safer ripping	Anti-kickback pawls, guard system	Keep the safety hardware installed and adjusted
Consistent results	Fence and miter gauge workflows described	Clean rails and table so the fence slides smoothly

How to get the best results (and avoid frustration)

Most “mixed reviews” come down to setup, alignment, and maintenance, not raw motor power.

• Keep the tabletop and rails clean; remove sawdust buildup frequently.
• Wax the tabletop lightly so stock feeds smoothly.
• Clean pitch and gum from the table, rails, and rip fence.
• Unplug the saw, remove the switch key, and follow safe service steps before adjustments.
• Use the right accessory for the cut (miter gauge for crosscuts, rip fence for rips).

For step-by-step technique and setup tips, use our DIY guides like how to adjust a table saw blade.

Why it matters

A table saw that is clean, aligned, and used with the correct fence or miter gauge cuts straighter, binds less, and reduces kickback risk. That is the difference between a “good saw” and a frustrating one.
