Upgrade Craftsman Rip Fence to Delta 36 T3 Rip Fence

The Delta 36 T30T3 rip fence is a great way to upgrade the Craftsman model 113.298762 table saw. We also look at using the Zero Clearance Leecraft CR-1 table saw insert and cleaning the rust off of the Craftsman cast iron table saw top.

I'm a 100% disabled vet (six strokes that left my right side flaccid). I don't let that bother me. I've had a Craftsman Table Saw since 1994 or so. I wanted to change the fence and a few other things. I watched your video a few times and ordered the Delta T4 from Amazon. Luckily the box arrived in tact. I did the entire job alone. Piece of cake. Thanks for a video.

I finally installed my T3 on my 113. I watched your video a year ago. Everyone with a 113 should use your video as a guide. Thank you again.

[GOVAUS]

Great camera work, great music, just enough talking but not too much. Great guide. It is very helpful especially regarding the fence height consistency check before drilling the rear rail holes. Thank you.

[seancregin]

Found your video and did the same to my old craftsman. Thanks for all the time I’ll now save not triple measuring every cut! Only took me a couple hours to drill and tap everything. Thanks again

[douglasrsmith]

Thanks for this video; it was very helpful. I just cleaned, lubed and tuned up my Craftsman 113.241680 flex drive saw (mid '80s vintage - inherited from my dad) and upgraded it with the same fence + zero clearance insert. I also moved the router table extension I got some years ago to the right end to make it more accessible and help stabilize the fence. Big improvement! Cheers.

Nice concise video which highlighted how to quickly and easily attach the T3 to my Craftsman 113 and bring it back to life. Thank you!

[alexsika]

Im in the process of refurbishing my craftsman. Thank you for this video. Im dropping my table into a work station and adding this new fence system to it. Stoked!

[Keith-gdps]

Just did this to my old craftsman today. Should have done it years ago! Thanks for the guidance and tips

[jerryfox]

Thank you for this video. I bought this unit and put it on my saw. I love it and it works great. But you made it sound a little more simple to install than it really was. But I love it and have been wanting one like it for years. But they were to expensive for me. This was a great price. Thanks again. Jerry Fox

I installed the t4 model only thing I don't like is there is some slight deflection with the fence if you press on the side of the rail at the opposite end. Want to get it better before I install board buddy clamps or a auto feeder

[Danman]

Thanks... I have a 113 model that I inherited from my father. Really want this fence system for mine. As well as the billet pully set with the link belt. I have upgraded the throat plate and blade already as well as added some nice castors. Need to clean up the bottom casting on the wings (same has yours). I used some scotch brights pads on mine with WD.

Thank ! I've been looking for a good video for this fence upgrade. Excellent video, right to the point!

[thecastingdeck]

I plan on doing this to my old 113. Great video thanks!

[mr.bagelman]

Great video! I'm working on getting my fence onto my 113 but I bought the fence used and it didn't come with the alignment tool. Do you have the measurements so I can make a jig?

[TheBillPayingHobbyists]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have the same saw and have been looking for a rip fence. This was excellent. Subsrcibed!

Brain cramp! I know doors aren’t built this way.

Never having built cabinet doors previously, I got carried away with the tongue and groove aspect as I was testing the process on the scrap pieces. I was more thinking about getting the pieces cut accurately than the actual construction.

When I came to my senses, I do know that the “tongue” on the rail is actually called a tenon in tongue and groove door construction, and that the tenon is usually cut by laying the rail flat on the table saw as it is not normally cut standing the rail vertically on its end.

I apologize for the misinformation. Check out the upcoming video on building the cabinet doors to see how they are built.

So the zero clearance insert isn’t really necessary for building the doors, unless you are using a jig to stand the rails upright to cut the tenons. But it will also come in handy on various types of cuts on narrow stock.

Is front rail one piece or multiple pieces?

[carterscustomrods]

The t3 appears to just be a fence and doesn't provide any sort of adaptability for things. No jig mounting, or sacrificial face mounting options from what ive seen.

Instead i went with t-slot aluminum extrusions, and linear bearings to make it mobile. It cost about $30 less than the t3, and I only needed a single 40in piece of 1530 (1-½" × 3") for the front fence rail and a 40" piece of 2040 (2" × 4", not 20mm x 40mm) for my actual fence.

I added a 6533 linear bearing to front rail, and mounted it to the fence underside after building it up with flat joining plates. (I just used a piece of bedframe angle iron on the rear to keep wings attached and level with the saw.

Im really surprised more people do not go this route? It's so much nicer, flatter, and adds an unlimited level of modulation to your fence. Its also much tougher.

I currently have 3 of these table saws. As stated, none have accurate fences, and I would like to replace at least one for now. I also want to add a router table to one side of the saw. Is there a longer rail system for the T3 or should I place the router on the RH side? I would like to use the fence as the router guide as well with some modifications or is there a better fence to buy/ make? Thanks.

[DarylSawatzky]

There is a part on this fence called the 'lower-guided board' that I cannot find any information on. Do you know what it is for and how to use it? It's the swinging plate on the top of the fence.
