Craftsman 137228210 table saw Parts

The Craftsman 137228210 table saw uses a 10-inch blade. For the correct blade type, arbor setup, and safe blade-change steps for this specific saw, follow the instructions in the owner's manual.

What to buy (blade fit basics)

A replacement blade must match the saw’s key fit points, not just the diameter.

• Choose a 10-inch table saw blade
• Match the arbor hole size to your saw’s arbor (check the manual before buying)
• Pick the right tooth style for the job (rip, crosscut, combination)
• Use a blade rated for at least the saw’s operating speed
• Install the blade in the correct rotation direction

Blade and dado compatibility for this model

This model supports standard 10-inch blades, and it also has specific limits for dado use.

Accessory	What this saw supports	What to avoid
Standard saw blade	10-inch blade	Wrong arbor hole size or low RPM rating
Dado set	Up to 1/2-inch max width; 6-inch max diameter	Adjustable (wobble) dadoes; carbide-tipped dado blades; molding head sets

Why it matters

Using the correct blade size and approved accessories helps the blade guard, splitter, and anti-kickback pawls work as designed. It also reduces binding, kickback risk, and poor cut quality.

Common table saw mistakes on the Craftsman 137228210 are skipping guards and anti-kickback devices, using the wrong setup for the cut (rip fence vs. miter gauge), setting blade height incorrectly, and feeding stock unsafely. Our 137228210 owner's manual spells out the safe setups for ripping and crosscutting.

Most common mistakes (and the safer habit)

• Running without guards/splitter/anti-kickback pawls: keep guards in place and working; these parts help reduce kickback risk.
• Using the rip fence and miter gauge together: for most cuts, use one guiding system at a time (rip fence for ripping, miter gauge for crosscutting).
• Blade set too high: for ripping and crosscutting, set the blade about 1/8 inch above the workpiece.
• Freehand cutting: always guide the work with the rip fence or miter gauge.
• Ripping small pieces unsafely: don’t make through-saw cuts narrower than 1/2 inch; use push sticks when your hand cannot safely fit between the blade and fence.
• Poor stock control: don’t cut warped, twisted, or bowed boards against the fence; keep the work flat to the table.

Quick setup check: ripping vs. crosscutting

Operation	Use this guide	Remove this	Key safety setup
Ripping	Rip fence	Miter gauge	Blade about 1/8 inch above stock; feed forward only on the piece between blade and fence
Crosscutting	Miter gauge	Rip fence	Blade about 1/8 inch above stock; keep hands out of the blade path

Why it matters

Most “bad cuts” and many injuries start with the wrong guide, incorrect blade height, or missing anti-kickback protection. Following the correct setup also improves accuracy, especially on bevel cuts and repeatable rips.

If you are getting rid of an old Craftsman table saw model 137228210, the best options are to sell or donate it if it still runs, or recycle it as scrap metal and e-waste if it does not. Before moving it, we recommend removing the blade and securing loose parts for safer handling.

Safe prep before disposal (important)

Unplug the saw and make it safe to handle first.

• Turn the switch OFF, remove the switch key (if equipped), and unplug the power cord
• Remove the blade and store it so the teeth cannot contact anything
• Remove accessories (rip fence, miter gauge, guard parts) and bag small hardware
• Vacuum or brush out sawdust; built-up sawdust is a fire hazard in storage and transport
• Tape or tie the cord to the frame so it cannot snag while carrying

For model-specific safety and handling reminders, follow the shutdown and maintenance steps in the owner's manual.

Best disposal options (what to do with the saw)

Choose the option that matches the condition of your table saw.

Condition	Best option	Why it works
Runs and cuts accurately	Sell or give away locally	Someone can keep using it; you avoid disposal fees
Runs but needs work	Donate to a maker space, school program, or repair group	Useful for parts or refurbishment
Will not run or is unsafe	Recycle as scrap metal and e-waste	Keeps metal and electrical components out of the trash
Missing key parts	Recycle; keep usable accessories	Accessories can still be reused

What to do with the blade

Table saw blades are sharp and should be handled separately from the saw.

• Wrap the blade in cardboard or heavy material and tape it closed
• Label it “sharp” for anyone handling it
• Take it with the saw to a scrap metal recycler if they accept it
• Do not place an exposed blade in a bin where it can cut someone

If you are replacing the saw

If you are upgrading from the 137228210, we recommend keeping your model number handy so you can match accessories and maintenance info. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect to find diagrams and commonly replaced items.

Why it matters

Proper disposal prevents injuries from exposed blades, reduces fire risk from sawdust buildup, and keeps metal and electrical components out of curbside trash streams.

The “best rated” table saw depends on how you use it: jobsite portability, cabinet-saw power, or maximum safety. If you already own the Craftsman 137228210, it is a solid 10-inch, 120V saw with a 2-1/2-inch max cut at 90° and a 40 lb build; we use the owner's manual to match blades, setup, and safe operation.

How we recommend choosing the best table saw

• Safety system: flesh-detection (premium), riving knife/splitter, anti-kickback pawls, blade guard.
• Fence accuracy: a rigid fence that locks parallel to the blade reduces burning and bad cuts.
• Power and cut capacity: match motor strength and rip capacity to hardwoods and sheet goods.
• Portability: weight, stand design, and wheel kit matter for jobsite use.
• Dust collection: better airflow improves visibility and reduces cleanup.

Where the Craftsman 137228210 fits

From the model specs, this saw is designed as a portable 10-inch table saw with a leg stand, rip fence, and miter gauge. It is a good fit for DIY and light-to-moderate woodworking when it is tuned correctly.

Feature	Craftsman 137228210 (from manual)	What “best rated” usually means
Blade size	10-inch	10-inch is the most common size
Max depth at 90°	2-1/2 inch	Deeper cuts help with thicker stock
Max depth at 45°	2-1/4 inch	Important for bevel work
Power	120V, 15A circuit	Jobsite saw standard
Weight	40 lb	Lighter is easier to move; heavier can feel steadier

If ratings are driven by cut quality, tune first

A “top rated” saw still cuts poorly if the blade and alignment are off.

• Confirm the blade is sharp and installed correctly.
• Set the fence parallel to the blade.
• Square the miter gauge for accurate crosscuts.
• Keep the tabletop clean and waxed for smoother feeding.
• Use the splitter/guard and anti-kickback pawls to reduce binding.

For step-by-step help, use how to adjust a table saw blade and table saw bad cuts.

Why it matters

Choosing the right table saw (and tuning it) directly affects accuracy, kickback risk, and how hard the motor has to work. For the Craftsman 137228210, correct setup and the right 10-inch blade often make a bigger difference than chasing ratings.

Parts and diagrams

When you need replacement parts for the Craftsman 137228210, we recommend using the model parts diagrams first, then ordering by the correct part number through Sears PartsDirect.

There is no single set price for a Craftsman 137228210 table saw because it is typically purchased used, and the value depends on condition and whether key accessories are included. Use the 137228210 owner's manual to confirm the exact configuration and specs before comparing listings.

What to check before you compare prices

• Completeness: rip fence, miter gauge, leg stand, blade guard and anti-kickback parts
• Operation: blade raises/lowers and bevel tilts smoothly, then locks securely
• Cut accuracy: fence locks parallel to the blade; holds 90° and 45° settings
• Electrical: 120V, 15-amp circuit readiness; cord and switch in good shape
• Tabletop: flat surface, minimal rust pitting, no cracks or broken trunnion parts

Model-specific specs that affect value (Craftsman 137228210)

These are quick identifiers from the manual that help you confirm you are pricing the correct 10-inch saw.

Spec	Craftsman 137228210
Blade diameter	10 inch
Max depth of cut at 90°	2-1/2 inch
Max depth of cut at 45°	2-1/4 inch
Max dado width	9/16 inch
Weight	40 lb
Included equipment	Leg stand: yes; rip fence: yes; miter gauge: yes

A simple way to estimate a fair price

Use this checklist to adjust what you are willing to pay:

If the saw is...	Price impact
Complete and ready to cut	Higher value than a bare saw
Missing fence/guard/stand	Lower value (replacement parts add cost)
Noisy, slow to spin up, or hard to adjust	Lower value (likely repair needed)

Why it matters

A complete, properly aligned table saw is safer and produces straighter cuts; that reduces the time and money you spend correcting bad cuts or replacing missing hardware.
