I also got the arbor apart today sans pin spanner. If anyone remembers mention of out broken down t130 in need of bearings. Anyway I suggested to my boss that he just hire someone to do the job on account of special wrenches being needed to do the work and me not having a welder to make them. Well I’ll tell you this it was the smartest thing I coulda done to tell the boss to just hire a repair guy. The home made wrenches he used although very simple where very specific and I never would have been able to make without a welder and at least a bench grinder.
Anywho he suggested a brass punch to break the thread free. One hole was already deformed and he suggested it was on account of someone doing the same thing at some point with a punch that was not brass.

All I have left in raw iron to paint at this point is the arbor. One piece to the worm gear, and two,pieces of the handwheel. I also have like 5-6 pieces I want to wet sand and re paint for whatever reason. So I’m not quite done painting but I can semi have three sessions left at most. I think I can take care of two,of them next week.
And this weeks bounty. I need to flip,the top again, bondo the edges prime, poly and paint. It’s on next weeks agenda.

In the process of cleaning the top I stripped the sides of the table. I was supervised to find out the entire front edge of the saw is a machined surface. The lower portion has to be for the ripmfence to function properly but the center section does not. I’m sure it was just easier for them to grind it this way at the factory. Regardless I tempted to leave it unpainted.
My t54 jointer does not have the cast tables paint on the sides. I was told marin stopped painting the edges of cast tables as the get beat up when painted and not so much when left w=raw cast iron.

I also brought a few more items home. My spare room is starting to look like. Sliding table saw of sorts?
