The Craftsman 113.244513 is a versatile and powerful table saw designed to cater to both amateur woodworkers and seasoned professionals. With its impressive combination of features, technologies, and practical characteristics, it stands out in the market for home woodworking projects.

At the heart of the Craftsman 113.244513 is a robust 1.5 HP motor that ensures smooth and efficient operation. This powerful motor allows the saw to handle various materials, from soft pine to harder hardwoods, with ease. Its ability to sustain high-speed performance even during tough cuts not only enhances productivity but also provides users with confidence in achieving precise results.

One of the key features of this table saw is its precision-engineered cast iron table surface.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Craftsman 113.244513 is its portability.
