Jerry, Thanks for the encouragement. I've gotten busy with that annoying thing called "life", but definitely need to get back onto this. :) -Sparky |

Bumping a really old thread here, but for a good reason. This will be my last post to this thread because the build is done and I've sold the saw. Since ending off, I did a few more things to finish off the rebuild: - Make and install an adjustable stop for the blade arm - Install an auto shut-off switch and wiring - Purchase (ya, cheated there too) pulleys and make adapter sleeves to fit shafts Umm..... you know, I think that's all that I did since then :) Like many of you can probably relate to, my interest in this project started to dwindle over time. If I didn't already have a band saw that works well, I might have taken it a bit farther but I decided I needed the space and that it was time for someone else to enjoy the result of my efforts. I am confident that the saw will perform better and last longer than the was it came from the factory. Taking all of my time into consideration, I'm sure it was a financial loss but that wasn't the point. I enjoyed making all of the parts and seeing it come together. And, of course, every minute you spend working on things improves your skill and experience. Here are the final pictures that I took last night when I posted the ad... Closure. What's next? -Sparky |
