Have you tried calling Sears parts dept. I recentally got a part for a craftsman jointer (only 20 yo) from them. They may have them in stock. If not you can retro fit other fences to it such as a Biesemeyer.

Hey Lou,

I had an old 1950’s Craftsman TS that I loved. But the fence had to go. It was a terrible design, and fences have come a long way. If you want to restore it, that is one thing. But if you want to use it, consider a modern accurate fence (Biesemeyer type, etc.).

I used a saw like that from the time it was brand new until last year. I replaced the original fence with a Biesemeyer and built the thing into a giant rolling table with storage, router, etc.
To make a long story short, I THINK i may still have the old fence and hardware. I’m not sure of the model number on the old saw since I gave it to one of my sons, but if you still need the old fence and mounting hardware I will try to find it for you. You pay shipping from Houston, TX, and I will give you the fence. Just let me know.
