Hi Buddy

That's what I tought ,, I have my old Craftsman in the shop and I will take a picture of it so you can see how it bolts on and then just call Sears and say I want one
They keeps parts on hand for along time and I think I still have the manual with the parts number in the book if you want I will dig it out for you if you ask

Just let me know
One more note *** I don't think I going to keep the Craftsman so it you want it just make me a offer and we can talk about..

BUT IT WILL BE SHORT A PART LOL
But it's like NEW

Does you Craftsman have that clear plastic hold down that kind of swoops down on to the work piece. My first one was one like that and that particular saw ( about 15 years ago) I just couldn't control it. Way to much vibration and never could find a blade that liked it

You could TRY reversing the blade... test it again to see if it makes a difference... Those teeth are hard to see... If it clears it up, that was it; else, something else.

Now, with a small square, be sure the blade is square to the table from the left side of blade... then also from the front of the blade.

If, when you're cutting & come to a stop in moving the wood, I think you should be able to keep the blade moving and turn the wood in a circle around the blade... don't push or pull the wood... just spin it around the blade.

It should spin around free and easy... if not, the blade is NOT square to the table top.

If it does not spin freely, the blade could lift the wood up & down (chatter) because it's not square. (or just break)...

Tinker with it by trying it out...

Hope it works for you.

Thanks for all your help. This forum is outstanding and I really appreciate all of the great suggestions. Please forward the info and I will contact Sears.

Mine has a very large hold down, about 3" tall and the alignment arm is horrible to get adjusted. Have had to bend the thing to get it to line up with blade and table. I think I will get my wife to read all of the threads and convince her that I need a new saw!!!
