are you talking about the stud out the motor mount that has a wingnut? If so... I don't keep a nut on it since the motor is heavy enough to keep tension on the belt. I have put a link belt on mine though.

:headshake :tard:

Awesome. Exact same color scheme as the restore I did. I've been slacking with the postings on this one. Question... how did you polish the handles? I haven't found a good method.

So, now that I'm back from loading up the 'ole 4WD sleigh and carting the family across a few states to see the inlaws, it's time to continue our regularly scheduled restoration. So, I'm trying the old soak rusted bolts in vinegar trick to see if the rust will come off enough to wipe off. I...

So I put the arbor end of the assembly into the hot soapy bat and let it sit for a day. Then started scotch briting and brushing the snot out of it. I didn't want to repaint it. Adding a little WD-40 and it came out pretty good, even if I do say so myself. Now I only wish that I had a larger...

well... i did the ole "dremel a slot in them and screw them out" routine. They're U Drive screws. I'll have to pick some up. Hopefully the local Home Despot has some.

Got everything torn apart now. Got my list for Accurate bearings. I need 2 6202LL 5/8 bearings for the arbor shaft and 2 6303 double sealed bearings for the motor shaft. Now to start tearing down the rest of this so that I can take a wire wheel to the steel, give all the rusted stuff an...

Thanks! The piece of plywood is a makeshift dust collection system. Not too shabby, but I might try something else. The motor needs a "little" adjustment. The belt may be a little long... or the motor mount needs moved back... or the motor need adjusted higher... or.... I've started tearing...

Hey all... I picked up this saw from Craigslist for $75 bucks. It looked to be in good shape and had both extension wings, full fence and the original motor so I jusmped on it. Now here comes the teardown of this ******. Damn this thing is he-e-e-e-e-avy. but there's nothing a little muscle...

I'll bring pretzels!

Actually the top of the saw stand comes off and the mitre saw sits at the same height as my table saw and a collapsible table I built. It's a pretty cool system.

+1 Isn't that an official man-rule? :thumbup:

Yeah... alot of waste with the curved. Plain 45° supports would be just fine. Plus, I would take them all the way to the floor for some added strength. I've got a similar dilemma with my new shop bench, but this seems to give me even more ideas. Here's my workbench thread...

Hence my screen (and nickname) Xtreem. If it can be done, I'll overdo it! :) I am going for look just a bit... and I definitely don't want to overlay. I'll seal it with a bunch of poly.

I'm going to rebuild my workbench. The particleboard over 2x4s has worked well for me over the past 15 years, but it's time to upgrade. I've been drooling over the woodworking workbenches, but I know I don't have the room in my garage to do a freestanding bench, it's got to be against the...
