Delta Bandsaw Help

[mrbreezeet1]

I am working on my Delta Bandsaw project, (when l post pictures, don't laugh at the different colors between the base and the saw, the base will get repainted later.)
anyways, I need help with the base right now, The places that sell the replacement want crazy money for the parts, so I need to fab. them.

If someone has this base, I need the dimensions of #257;cover,
#261;Stop ( looks like a metal strip,) and need to know or possibly if someone has it can take some nice big, clear photos, of how this thing is put together. There is part # 263;bumper, (there are 2 of them) and part # 262 2 latch, (there are 2 of them also).
Need to know how the bumpers and the latch's, and the stop work.
Also need to know the dimensions of the "Stop" too.
Mine is missing, and I have no Idea how it is put together.
I am sure I can come up with something on my own, but I would like it to look as close to factory as possible.

You might want to check over at OWWM, if you have no luck. You can probably find a complete stand, reasonably priced.

OK thanks,
Here is the table stop I made, and the clamps I made that hold that metal box/belt guard to the base.
The table stop sets on a 5/16X18 bolt coming up through the casting with a jam nut on it to lock it. The Idea is If I want to tilt the table to the left, I tilt it 1st. to the right, and pull the table stop off the bolt, then tilt to the left.
The places that sell delta parts want $90.00 some dollars for it!!!
The clamp with the round head screws shown, is the OEM delta one, and the two I made (only one shown) sport the hex headed bolts.
The places that sell delta parts want around $15.00 each for the clamps!!!

And a picture of Cleopatra for the hell of it.

Thanks, Yeah, actually found a door there.
Worked on the blade guard tonight. Thought you might be interested in what I came up with for the brackets. I was going to try and find some at the OWWM classifieds, but I came up with this.
Clamps that hold conduit to a wall. Had to re-shape them a little. Worked out real nice though. The wood is white Oak.
Got a coat of Poly. drying on it right now.

Have a nice cast and machined 7" pulley I found for a dollar at a flea market, 3/4" bore and all, but no keyway.
Might be a bit unorthodox, but I mounted a file in my tool post of my Logan, and using the carriage like a shaper, cut/filed the keyway.
Didn't turn out too bad.

Is that frouned upon?

Is that frouned upon?

If it's bumped up because someone has helpful information to add, or because someone has a similar issue and has questions or clarifications, it's absolutely not frowned upon.

If it's awakened just to rag on the OP and adds nothing to the discussion, I can see how it could be viewed as just cluttering up the front page.

def not frowned upon,just could be that the original poster no longer participates & won't see your message
