Craftsman 315228110 table saw Parts

Yes, you can use an 8-inch blade on the Craftsman 315228110 table saw as long as the blade matches the saw’s arbor size and is rated for at least 5,500 RPM. Expect reduced maximum cut depth compared with a 10-inch blade.

What to check before you install an 8-inch blade

• Arbor size and blade hole: The blade’s center hole must match the saw arbor.
• Blade speed rating: Use a blade rated 5,500 RPM or higher.
• Blade type and intended cut: Choose a blade designed for ripping, crosscutting, or plywood.
• Guard and throat plate fit: Make sure the blade clears the throat opening and the guard operates normally.
• Blade condition: Avoid warped blades or missing carbide teeth.

What changes when you go from 10-inch to 8-inch

An 8-inch blade is smaller, so it changes how the saw performs.

Item	10-inch blade (typical for this saw)	8-inch blade (what to expect)
Max cut depth	Full designed capacity	Reduced cut depth
Best use	General ripping and crosscuts	Thinner stock, specialty cuts
Setup impact	Standard guard and throat plate	May need extra attention to clearance

For this model, the manual recommends a 10-inch combination blade for best overall performance. See the owner's manual for the blade guidance and accessory notes specific to the 315228110.

Dado note (important)

If you are considering an 8-inch dado set, use the correct throat plate and follow the manual’s accessory warnings. This saw’s manual specifically warns not to use 7-inch wobble dadoes.

Why it matters

Using the wrong blade size, speed rating, or accessory setup can increase binding and kickback risk. We recommend confirming your setup, keeping the work supported, and avoiding freehand cuts.

Yes. Craftsman table saws are a solid value for DIYers and hobbyists: they typically offer good cutting power for the price and long-term parts support. For the Craftsman 315228110 (10-inch) table saw, safe setup, alignment, and maintenance make the biggest difference in cut quality and overall satisfaction; use the owner's manual as your baseline.

What “good” usually means for a table saw

A table saw is “good” when it stays accurate, cuts consistently, and feels safe and controllable. Most owners judge that by:

• Fence locks parallel to the blade and stays put
• Blade height and bevel adjustments move smoothly
• Motor maintains speed under load (no bogging)
• Vibration is low and the tabletop stays flat
• Safety equipment is installed and used correctly

Where Craftsman table saws tend to shine

For many home shops, Craftsman saws are a practical choice because they balance performance and cost.

What you care about	Typical Craftsman experience	Best use case
Value	Strong for the money	DIY projects, weekend use
Power	Usually adequate for common lumber	Ripping and crosscutting 2x material
Serviceability	Many wear items are replaceable	Long-term ownership
Precision	Depends heavily on setup and fence condition	Better after tuning/alignment

Common limitations (and how to work around them)

If you are chasing furniture-grade precision, the limiting factors are usually setup and adjustment, not the brand name.

• Tune the blade-to-miter-slot and fence-to-blade alignment
• Use a sharp, correct blade for the material (rip vs. crosscut)
• Keep the height and bevel mechanisms clean and lightly lubricated
• Confirm the blade is not warped and the arbor nut is tight
• Reduce vibration by leveling the stand and tightening fasteners

For accuracy symptoms and fixes, use our DIY guides like table saw bad angle cuts and table saw bad cuts.

Why it matters

A table saw that is slightly out of alignment can burn wood, kick back more easily, and produce inconsistent dimensions. A careful initial setup plus periodic checks helps your Craftsman 315228110 cut cleaner and feel safer.

No. Table saw arbor nuts are not all the same size because arbor shafts vary by saw design; on the Craftsman 315228110, the arbor nut uses left-hand threads and loosens and tightens opposite of many standard nuts. For the correct procedure and hardware details, use the owner's manual.

What’s standardized (and what isn’t)

Many blades share common arbor hole sizes, but that does not make arbor nuts universal.

• Blade arbor diameter is often standardized by blade size (commonly 5/8 inch on many 10-inch blades).
• Arbor nut thread direction can differ; this model uses left-hand threads.
• Thread pitch and nut wrench size vary by manufacturer and model.
• Washer stack-up (inner and outer blade washers) can be model-specific.
• Dado setups can require different spacer arrangements and throat plates.

Craftsman 315228110 specifics you should follow

The manual’s blade-check procedure calls out two key points for this saw:

• The arbor shaft has left-hand threads.
• Use the provided wrenches; pull forward to loosen and push to tighten.

Quick reference

Item	Craftsman 315228110 guidance
Thread direction	Left-hand threads
Nut direction	Loosen opposite of standard right-hand nuts
Tightening	Tighten securely; do not overtighten
Dado note	Arbor nut must be fully engaged; arbor should extend at least one full thread past the nut

Why it matters

Using the wrong nut, forcing the wrong direction, or skipping the correct blade washers can lead to blade wobble, poor cut quality, or the blade loosening during operation. Correct arbor nut engagement is especially important when mounting dado blades and spacers.

A Craftsman table saw model 315228110 is a discontinued tool, so the price depends on condition, included accessories (rip fence, miter gauge, blade guard), and your local used-market demand. Most working 10-inch Craftsman saws of this type typically sell in the $150 to $400 range.

What affects the price most

• Overall condition: smooth blade height/tilt adjustment, no excessive vibration, flat table
• Motor performance: starts quickly, holds speed under load, no burning smell
• Completeness: rip fence, miter gauge, blade guard, throat plate, handwheels
• Stand and hardware: stable leg stand, leveling feet present, no missing fasteners
• Maintenance history: clean internals, good brushes (if applicable), no rust pitting

Quick pricing guide (typical used-market)

Condition	What we usually see included	Typical price range
Needs work	Missing parts or won’t run reliably	$50 to $150
Working, basic	Runs and cuts, normal wear	$150 to $300
Clean and complete	Fence and guards included, tuned	$250 to $400

How to identify exactly what you have

Your saw is a 10-inch table saw and the model number 315.228110 is shown in the documentation. Match the model plate on the cabinet side panel to confirm you are pricing the correct version, then compare what accessories you have to the parts list and diagrams in the owner's manual.

Why it matters

Table saw value is driven less by age and more by accuracy and safety. A saw that makes consistent square cuts, adjusts smoothly, and includes the blade guard and fence is worth more and is easier to put back into dependable service.
