Thanks Larry G - I was looking all over for those instructions!

Thanks all! The responses were very helpful, Pulley and bushing are installed.

I am attempting to install a tapered bushing/pulley onto a shaft and I cannot get the tapered bushing all the way into the pulley. My understanding is that the pulley should be pulled all the way right to the rim of the bushing. I am finding at least a 1/4 inch gap. Tried tapping it with a...

Thanks for sharing these - this looks like a much simpler design than what I shared. What size are the casters and what thickness steel did you use to bolt the caster plate to?

I reuploaded

I added 2 new pictures with 6 additional pieces of steel. Seems like a lot of steel compared to the commercially available mobile bases, but I am rarely happy with the commercially available bases. Could not find one that was sized for my band saw that could handle the weight. Please advise...

Picked up a Walker Turner 1951 16" Bandsaw - 650 Lbs worth of cast iron (est'd). Attached is my design. Not having any experience with metal/welding, I tend to think like a woodworker LOL. Is racking a concern with a welded joint? In the pictures you can see where I used channel steel (2" x...

Hello - I have been meaning to update this thread with my results and finally have a chance to do so. In short, it worked. That is, I tested for continuity on the old led chip and it failed. I tested the new chip for continuity and it passed and lit up as I tested it. Soldered it in, applied...

I should note that I will only be using 1 LED chip - even though I bought a 5 pack as this is an attempt to repair a small reading light. I know they are cheap but it is a good learning experience to fix this. From the replies, it seems that I need to also test the mA output of the driver...

sounds like I bought the wrong LED replacement bulb.

What should the voltage meter read coming out of the LED Driver? I am getting just over 7 volts and the label on the driver says it should be .3 to 4 volts. Is this what I should be checking? I bought a replacement led chip (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B35TTSXX?tag=atomicindus08-20) but I am...

With gears? I understand that a stepper motor or servo would be better, when I looked at them they were pricey and the goal of this project is to do it on the cheap mostly with salvaged or 3d printed parts. I don't have any experience with setting up or gearing motors so I appreciate the...

I believe treadmills and vacuum cleaners use step motors? My son is on the robotics team and is familiar with them. Trying to do this with all salvaged parts.
