i’d like to have one of those table saws
I have an older 113.29901.
It needs bearings though.
2602-10 2rs. The 10 denotes 10/16 or 5/8.
I only paid $50.00 for the saw.
I got a 30″ T 2 fence for $160.00 to my door. It should be a pretty good saw when I get done with it.
It’s still available kinda cold here though, it would be nice to bring it up here in the living room, but it’s too much trouble

Second video is very informative, it sheds some light on where to look, I’ll try it tomorrow. On the first video the guy doesn’t elaborate a lot on the mechanism, because he’s dealing w/ the alignment issue, but interestingly he seems to struggle to lift/low the blade while testing it. Thanks a lot again!

In reply to Marco. The Rigid 4512 is the same as the 21833.

Just found this on you tube. I think your trunnions are out of alignment and causing a bind.
Please watch, some good info.

In reply to David Pettinger. I see. Perhaps a full disassembling of the mechanism would lead to some clues. It's a pitty that here in Mexico, Sears service really sucks. Thanks for your patience.

In reply to Marco. Outside of checking the lift mechanism, I do not know what to tell you. My saw operated fine right out of the box and the blade height adjustment was never an issue. If you lift up on the blade, does it make the process any better? I would make sure that the motor bracket is not binding against the main trunion, but after that I do not know where to direct you. I have read a couple of threads on other forums about people with a elevation issue, but have seen no resolution to it.

In reply to David Pettinger. Thanks for your answer. Locking knob is completely loose. splitter and riving knife are out. Still mechanism is very hard. I know that there are some screws on the mechanism that should be checked for not be overtighen, but I don't know where to search for.

In reply to Marco. Make sure the center locking knob is loose enough. Also, make sure you try raising and lowering the blade with both the splitter and riving knife attachments removed. As for the wiring, refer to page 9, remove jumpers from between 1 to 3 and also from 2 to 4, then add a jumper from 3 to 2
