Thanks for the responses so far. I forgot to mention that I have the manual with the reducer, so I'm aware of it's performance numbers. If I could score one of the model numbers I mentioned above within three hours of me, I would go that route. So far the Craftsman 12" saws that are near me are...
Craftsman bandsaw speed reducer 113.238961
I had this posted in General Tools and with no responses, thought I'd try over here. Maybe I'm asking the question wrong, but wanted to see if other members are using this reducer on different model Craftsman band saws?

I recently acquired a Craftsman 113.238961 reducer and wondered what Craftsman band saws some of you may be using it on? I know it will fit a 113.243300, 113.243310 and a 113.243311. If you would care to share other model numbers you are using the speed reducer on I would appreciate it. Also...

Thanks for the responses so far. One of the things I'm confused about is the difference between a scroll saw and a jig saw. I have a hand held jig saw, but what I'm looking for is a bench mount that will cut small pieces of metal. Something I would probably do only a few times a year. Is the...
I'm confused and looking for some guidance. I want a bench saw of some sort that is best for cutting primarily metal (1/8", or so) and wood from time to time. Mostly I would be cutting curves in metal to make brackets for various projects. One example is to make a bracket that allows me to...
Just wanted to finish my thread off with a sincere thanks to all for your guidance and suggestions. I found the bearings I needed and the porous bronze bushings for the quill too. My machinist friend had to hone the bushing out just a hair to let the spindle move freely, but now all is good.

I'll show this to my machinist friend either tomorrow, or Monday. Hopefully it will be good news.
Thanks,

One of mine looks like the one of yours on the right in your picture, but definitely not like the one on the left in your picture. What does the other side of the one on the right in your picture look like? (Bottom side)
Mine is an 11-100 Model not a DP225.
