The Craftsman 10 Inch Table Saw Model 113.27520 was one of the best table saws ever sold under the Sears Craftsman brand. It was manufactured by the Emerson Electric Co. for Sears and was sold during the late 1950’s and 1960’s. It was known as an industrial quality tool and of comparable quality to the Delta Contractors Saw.

Many of these Craftsman 10 Inch Table Saw Model 113.27520 are still in use today and are coveted by Craftsman fans for their quality and durability.

I’ve restored several of these table saws. The extension wings are heavy ribbed cast iron that bolt solidly onto the 27″ deep heavy cast iron table top. There is enough weight on this saw to really cut down on vibration.
