I made myself a poster board template of a blade guard and tried bending it up from a scrap/remnant of the SS cabinet left after demoting my old propane grill, but it's too wonky. I need a friend...

Here is what I ended up with...Found a scrap piece of 1/2" MS at a local machine shop and paid them $20 to drill and tap a hole through the middle (I knew I couldn't get it accurate). I did the rest...

I need to construct a base for this saw. Any suggestions as to what is optimal?

Hey Bob, what size is your WT? And does the tracking assembly have problems on yours? Mine looks like this 452415The bent bit is the threaded hole through which the tracking screw travels to push...

451855So it's about to start going back together. No base as of yet but I have angle and a welder and a stupid quantity of guts.

Sha-wing...but also DANG. Good to find them available but that is an expensive li'l bearing.

Bob, that guy in CT has almost NO web presence. In communication with him he says it doesn't serve much purpose to keep a running inventory list. I disagree but it's his store. The only way you're...

I found this thing on facebook marketplace. it was a bit out of my area. Had to drive a couple of hours to get a look. I decided to buy it and got it for $150 but it was on a cobbled together wooden...

Bill, what do you mean by "tapped small"?

By the way, a thought occured to me regarding the rivet/screws. Some people report having a bit of trouble getting them out. Using a dremel to cut a screwdriver slot in them might work but also...

Bob, I used the double nut method and it turned right out. A 24mm open end wrench and a trip to "rural king" for the grade 5 5/8x18 nut got er done. For anyone else who is following this thread, I...

Thanks, Bob. I figured the stud had locktite or something on the body end and thought it near certain I'd screw the screw up with a pair of vise grips. I'll source said nut then. Thanks. Have you...

Hey anybody, I am in the process of tearing down a Walker Turner 14" bandsaw and ran into a li'l snag. The threaded stud under the table on the back side (outfeed) of the saw which governs the...

I would love to have such a service available locally. I can't even find anyone to sharpen my saw blades.

So I watched a few youtubers sharpen their planer/jointer blades and I can shave with my plane irons so fI thought I'd give it a go. I settled on a 45 degree X-jig with allen screws to hold the...

Has anyone created a facsimile of this stock handler or the board buddy? Pictures? Plans?

I'm not too pleased with the castings on this beast...There are voids and it appears that the ribs on the underside of the platten were molded by sticking some half-round sticks to the bottom of the...

410922410921I managed to dent up the housing removing the eccentric cam bearings so I'm looking into sources. Anyone have a good (read 'cheap') bearing source? the specs are "FAFNIR RA108" bearing...

Don, did you have any luck finding a manual/parts list for your sander? I have the same machine and some of the specifics are different. For example, the spindles don't have external threads. The...

Doesn't look like a chip-breaker was OEM on this particular machine. it has a scoop built into the hood. Don't know how effective it is at deflecting the debris but it doesn't seem like it would be...

Thanks Bill, that pdf is gold. Squares with what someone at OWWM.org told me. I'd never heard of such a thing.

Any ideas on fabricating a chip-breaker? It appears to be 10 or 8-gauge sheet which is bent on a brake and welded but I have no drawing to go by. Anyone have a belsaw who would be willing to give...

Update on the belsaw restoration...I'm getting it apart and finding broken bits where it was mishandled. Cast iron is wonderful for its strength but it IS brittle. A few places on the flange/frame...

Joe, can you describe the pressure bar and chip breaker? I was looking at a massive Powermatic last week (24" I think) that had a bar with loose 1/4" wide weights which ride lightly on the...

Well, I found that single part number in picture four in the parts list for my Belsaw model 912 so it appears that this is indeed a Belsaw.
