    Do-All Band Saw ID

    The blade welder/brazer was almost beyond repair, but I was able to clean and repair everything. The original switch had cracked, and I couldn't find a replacement that worked in the same configuration. I was able to find a new faceplate for the switch. So I made a new mount that entrapped...

    Well its been a few years, but I finally got some time to fix this old beast up. Far from perfect, but it runs and cuts. Didn't take as many pictures (or as even very good ones at that) as I'd like to have, but here they are.

    Flap Discs and grinding wheels

    Flap Discs and grinding wheels

    Robert, I'm ok with loosing the thread on arbor. I was actually thinking about switching back, figured it might be cheaper. Its just what my local supplier had. Chicken, I'll check eBay, for some reason never even thought about that. I tried amazon, and almost everything that comes up is...
