Craftsman 113299142 10" table saw Parts

No. For the Craftsman 113299142 10-inch table saw, arbor nuts are not “one-size-fits-all” across brands and models because the arbor thread size and direction can vary. Blade bore size is often standardized (commonly 5/8 inch on many 10-inch blades), but the nut and arbor threads are not.

What is usually standardized (and what is not)

Many 10-inch saw blades are sold with a 5/8-inch arbor hole, but that does not guarantee the arbor nut will match another saw.

• Often similar: blade arbor hole size (blade bore)
• Not standardized: arbor thread diameter, thread pitch, and left-hand vs right-hand threads
• Not interchangeable: arbor nut thickness, flange/collar fit, and wrench flats
• Model-specific: how the nut tightens relative to blade rotation

How to confirm the correct arbor nut for Craftsman 113299142

We recommend confirming the arbor nut by using the parts breakdown and blade removal procedure in the Craftsman 113299142 owner’s manual.

Practical checks you can do (with the saw unplugged):

• Verify whether the arbor uses right-hand or left-hand threads
• Measure arbor thread outside diameter (calipers help)
• Identify thread pitch (thread gauge helps)
• Compare the nut’s wrench size and thickness to the original
• Confirm the blade is installed with teeth facing the correct direction (per the manual)

Quick comparison: blade bore vs arbor nut

Item	What it affects	Typical situation on 10-inch saws
Blade arbor hole (bore)	Whether the blade fits on the arbor shaft	Often 5/8 inch, sometimes with bushings
Arbor nut threads	Whether the nut will screw onto the arbor	Varies by manufacturer and model

Why it matters

Using the wrong arbor nut (wrong thread or direction) can prevent proper tightening, damage the arbor threads, and increase the risk of blade wobble or loosening during operation.

If you are getting rid of a Craftsman 113299142 10-inch table saw, the best options are to sell or donate it if it still runs, or recycle it as scrap metal if it is beyond repair. Before it leaves your shop, disable it so it cannot be started accidentally.

Safe steps before disposal (important for any 10-inch table saw)

Use these steps to make the saw safer to move, donate, or recycle; they align with the basic safety approach in the Craftsman 113299142 owner’s manual.

• Unplug the power cord; never rely on the switch alone.
• Remove the switch key (if equipped) and store it separately.
• Lower the blade fully below the table surface.
• Remove the blade and pack it separately (or label it clearly).
• Secure loose items (rip fence, miter gauge, blade guard) so they do not shift in transport.
• If the cord is cut or damaged, do not tape it up; keep the saw unplugged and tag it “do not use.”

Best disposal options (from most value to least)

• Sell: Local classifieds, woodworking groups, estate sales.
• Donate: Tool libraries, vocational programs, maker spaces, Habitat ReStore (varies by location).
• Recycle: Scrap metal recycler; many will take cast iron tops, steel stands, and motors.
• Junk removal: Useful if you cannot move it safely.

What to keep vs. what to send with the saw

Item	Send with saw?	Why it matters
Rip fence and miter gauge	Yes	Makes the saw usable for the next owner.
Blade guard/spreader/anti-kickback parts	Yes	Helps reduce kickback risk during use.
Saw blade	Optional	Many people prefer a new blade; blades can be recycled as metal.
Switch key	Yes	Prevents unsafe “hot-wiring” or bypassing the switch.

Why it matters

A table saw can be started accidentally during moving or after donation if the switch is bumped or the cord is plugged in. Disabling and securing the saw reduces injury risk and helps the next owner set it up correctly.

Yes, Craftsman table saws can be a good choice for DIY and general home-shop work when they are set up and maintained correctly. For the Craftsman 113299142 10-inch table saw, overall “good” usually comes down to alignment (blade-to-slot and fence-to-blade), a solid stand/bench mount, and using the guard and anti-kickback parts as intended (see the 113299142 owner's manual).

What “good” means for the 113299142

This model is a classic belt-driven, contractor-style Craftsman saw design. It can deliver reliable ripping and crosscutting performance for common lumber and sheet goods when the fence, miter gauge, and blade are tuned.

Strengths you can expect

• Strong basic cutting capability with a properly sized 10-inch blade
• Belt drive helps smooth cutting compared to many direct-drive benchtop saws
• Adjustable rip fence system (accuracy depends on alignment and technique)
• Serviceable design with replaceable wear parts (belt, pulleys, switch, etc.)

Common limitations (and why people complain)

• Fence can drift out of parallel if not adjusted and locked consistently
• Miter gauge is “good enough” for general cuts but may need a wood facing for repeatability
• Vibration or burn marks often trace back to belt condition, pulley alignment, or a dull blade

Quick setup checklist (biggest accuracy wins)

Use these checks before judging the saw’s quality:

• Confirm the blade is square (90°) to the table at the stop
• Verify blade is parallel to the miter gauge groove (reduces burning and kickback risk)
• Align the rip fence parallel to the blade and miter slots
• Set the table insert flush with the tabletop
• Use a sharp, appropriate blade for the material (rip vs. crosscut)

Upgrade vs. repair: what’s worth doing?

Symptom	Most likely cause	Best next step
Cuts not straight	Fence not parallel, technique	Align fence; use consistent pressure against fence
Burning	Dull blade, misalignment	Replace/clean blade; re-check alignment
Excess vibration	Belt/pulley issues, mounting	Inspect belt and pulleys; bolt saw down
Kickback tendency	Fence/blade not parallel, poor support	Correct alignment; add outfeed support

Why it matters

A table saw can feel “bad” even when nothing is broken if the fence and blade are slightly out of alignment. On the 113299142, proper alignment and using the blade guard/spreader and anti-kickback pawls are key to both cut quality and safety.

To date a Craftsman table saw, we start with the model and serial number on the saw. On Craftsman model 113299142, the owner’s manual says the model and serial number are found on the left-hand side of the base; the serial number format is what you use to estimate the build timeframe. See the Craftsman 113299142 owner’s manual for the exact ID-plate location.

Where to find the numbers on model 113299142

Look for a metal plate or label on the cabinet/base.

• Check the left-hand side of the base (called out for this model)
• Write down the full model number (113299142)
• Write down the entire serial number exactly as shown
• Note any prefix letters or extra codes (they can matter)
• Take a clear photo before cleaning or repainting the base

How to interpret the serial number (what usually works)

Craftsman serial number formats changed over the years, so we cannot identify a single guaranteed “date code rule” for every 113-series saw just from the model number alone. Once you have the serial number, these are the most common approaches people use:

• Look for a week/year style code at the start of the serial number
• Look for a month/year style code (sometimes embedded)
• Compare the serial format to other known Craftsman/Sears production patterns for that era
• Use the saw’s original configuration (guard style, switch/key style, fence system) as supporting clues

Quick guide to common date-code patterns

What you see in the serial	What it often means	What to do next
4 digits that look like WWYY or YYWW	Week and year (order varies)	Try both interpretations and sanity-check against features
Letters + numbers	Plant/line code + date segment	Record the full string; don’t drop the letters
No obvious date pattern	Serial is sequential only	Use feature clues and documentation era

Why it matters

Knowing the approximate manufacture timeframe helps us match the right safety parts and wear items (blade guard/spreader, arbor hardware, belts, switch components) because Craftsman table saw designs and part revisions can vary even within the 113 family.
