Here's some pictures of my board and potentiometer. It is probably the cheapest way to go.

I got a free treadmill that didn't work. Had a 1.5 hp motor and a stand alone DC power supply. I'm far from an electrical genius but managed to figure out how to hook up AC power and add a $10 adjustable potentiometer. It needed a fuse on the ciurcit board which is why it didn't work. I built an...

Not really, I stalled out trying to figure out the adjustable part. I don't want it to be sloppy but I don't have a milling machine. I think it's going to end up being trailer hitch receiver tune and 2" inside it with screws on 3 sides to take care of the slop. I have to remind myself to keep it...

Well I might as well post this up finally, I see this thread has been a little quite lately. A simple stand for the belt sander didn't sound stylish enough. Next time will be a welded pedistal. It's made from 16 gauge satin finish steel. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

So now that it's all assembled I started it up. At some point a previous owner installed a 1725 RPM 1/2 hp motor on it but put the steps on the pulleys were the same as the drive on the saw. Essentially no speed adjustment. I turned it around and started it on the fastest of 3 speeds. Popped the...

Sorry, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Anyway I bought new guide arms, one guide and the hydraulic cylinder rebuild kit from Dake and had great service. I bought new guide bearings from the local supplier near me. The cylinder rebuild kit was pricey for what it really is but was...

Thanks, you have me convinced to ditch the legs. I will likely just run mild steel for the pan though and a square tube frame construction for the rack. My next question is about the hydraulic ram though... Was filled with water when I got it. I figured just get some 1/2" rod and thread it...

Wow that's awesome. I certainly won't be fully refurbishing this band saw at this point, I will certainly get it back in running order though. Looking at the condition of the original trays and legs makes me think I should build a cart like yours. Do you have​ thread for it? Or some pictures of...

Thanks guys, I need smaller than that.

Wow that's quite the saw! I'll check out that form thanks.

Well I got some parts from Dake, great service. Thought I had more pics, second picture is of the "hydraulic ram" and the poor condition of it. I am unsure of how to repair it, odd ball thread where it attaches to the piston, it's 20 tpi but tapered on 1/2" rod... Any input?
