Craftsman 10" Contractor Table Saw Metal Handwheel Handle Crank 1/2" Tilt or Elevation Shaft

This all metal adjusting crank wheel fits with no adjustment necessary. The only issue is the Allen wrench needed to tighten rhe set screwneeds to be quite long to work a d keep meat on your knuckles. Otherwise t h e old machine can continue running like new.

I had one of the two original plastic adjustment handwheels fail (the hub cracked and would not grip the 1/2' shaft to turn it for adjustment) on my 1980's era Craftsman table saw. Luckily, I was able to find this replacement. I actually bought two of them since I figured if one of the old handwheels broke the other wouldn't be far behind. Installation was easy, the fit was perfect, and the operation of the handles very smooth. Since these are metal and held to the shaft by a set screw instead of a friction fit and screw I think they will last as long as the saw itself will. If you own a 113.xxxxxx model 10-inch Craftsman table saw, these are the replacements that will upgrade your saw and you should use.

Pros: It works on the angle adjustment, and is a very sturdy item, no doubt it will last a lifetime. Really like the rotating handle. Again, this is a solid unit no doubt!Cons: does not quite adequately clearance the blade height adjuster on the front of the unit; the on/off switch housing is very close and although I can turn the knob, its not particularly easy because of the narrow clearance. The hole is a bit big for the craftsman knobs but it still works. Would like this wheel to be smaller in diameter closer to the actual size of the craftsman original equipment.

Easy to install. Fits perfect. Works great.

Looks like cast Zamak, or similar alloy, and seems much tougher than the cheap plastic wheels.

Good quality and value

Perfect fix for the original plastic ones! Solid design works smoothly and is a perfect tight fit. You will need to use a little window cleaner on the shaft for lube, then line it up on the shaft and tap it down with a block and hammer. Replaced both of mine and very happy with the results.

Die cast aluminum. Well made and easy to install.
