Re: The Little Vintage Garage.

Tell us about that converter, what kind of rpm can you get down to?

It's a 10:1 speed reducer

The Little Vintage Garage.

Model 103.24260



This bandsaw has a reinforced frame. And a quick release upper wheel tension. Looks like a pain to adjust.

12" pulley on the bandsaw and this table is notched to allow room for the pulley. My other bandsaw table has no notch.

The speed reduction setup


Speed converter made by savage mfg. co.


I didn't have a chance to measure the pulley on the motor side but it's about 2" in diameter. If that's the case, the bandsaw is spinning at approximately 29.16 rpm based on these calculations I found.

Speed reducer is 10:1.
Motor 1750 rpm
Motor side pulley 2"
Bandsaw side pulley 12"

Small pulley speed =1750rpm/10= 175rpm
Pulley ratio. 6:1
175rpm/6 =29.16 rpm.

Now who knows how to calculate blade speed? Found a calculator on vintagemachinery which says I'm at approximately 90 sfpm(surface feet per minute). Based on my pulley size estimate of 2". If it's a 3" pulley then the speed is around 137 sfpm.

Re: The Little Vintage Garage.

After looking at the model number, I was thinking it was slightly older. But I found it in the 1963 catalog. I wonder which style is actually better and stronger. The 1963 style one has a self aligning upper wheel but you can't adjust tension from what I see.

Re: The Little Vintage Garage.

I had some time to bench test the slo-speed setup. Check out the video.

It runs pretty smooth. Most of the rattling is just the brackets holding the slo-speed converter in place. I'll have to fab up a more solid and cleaner bracket for it.

That is pretty slick, so the closest pulley to the motor turns at the full 1725 RPM and the next one by the reducers spins at about 345 RPM based off of guessing the reduction of 2.5:1 for each of the gear toothed pulley sets.

JB, It's actually a 10:1 total gear reduction.

Oh wow, that'll be real handy for swapping back and fourth for wood and metal and much cheaper than setting up a VFD.

The only issue is that the blade speed might be too slow for wood with the 12" pulley.

 

[bagged89s10]

I decided I'm going to go with the original 5" pulley which will I've me around a 271 sfpm blade speed. Then I can change speeds with the slo speed converter to 2700 to cut wood.

I also just ordered an Starrett m42 80", 1/2" x 18tpi metal cutting blade.

Did you find belts? Maybe a vacuum repair place?

I haven't searched yet. The current belts are ok so I'll use them for now. I'll measure them for replacements when I clean up the motor and get it ready to mount. Hopefully in a couple weeks.

Decided to make my son scrap wood fingerboard accessories and made an attempt to film and edit a video.

That is very cool!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thanks Joe

I just picked up this anvil. 215lbs for $120. Negotiated it to less than half of the asking price because it was cracked and not perfectly repaired.



The rebound is not bad for a beginner like myself, check out the video.

Love the Tech Deck Scrap Wood Setup.. Very Cool. Hope my son gets into skating as I did... A decent sized halfpipe is something I've always wanted to build. Could make a great Father/son/daughter project...

Thank kynte. Yeah a real half pipe would be fun to build. Unfortunately, I can't skate board to safe my life so I'd just enjoy the building part.

Good score on the anvil, what are you thinking resto wise on it ?

Won't find me on a skateboard either

I'm thinking to just strip the paint and BLO it. I may paint the sides depending on how it looks. Then I will mount it on a wood and steel stand.
I am going to find a way to put wheels on it so I can move it. I would permanently mount it on a stand outdoors but I don't really have a good place for it right now where I can use it in the winter if I decide to.

 

[jbmatth]

I do believe the anvil price deserves the revered YOU **** award. Even with some small issues and the awful paint job (Who paints the working surface of an anvil anyway?) you have a very solid start there and it will come in handy many times over the years.

Thanks JB. I'm pretty happy with the purchase. I'm sure someone painted it to either hide the weld or was just using it as decor. Either way, I can't wait to strip the paint and get it out on a stand.

 

[bagged89s10]

Some free 4x4 timber for my anvil stand. I may or may not have found it at an abandoned rail yard. Rough cut for now with a circular saw I will square them up in my table saw before I put it all together.

 

[jbmatth]

That is a good idea for the anvil stand, and one I hadn't though about for mine. I'm interested to see what you have planned for it.

I got a 12 foot piece of 1/8" thick x 1.25"wide steel to make 2 bands out of. Only cost $5.

 

[Squashfest81]

Nice Veep's. If you are still thinking wheels I'd go all wheelbarrow style. Brackets to slide pipe handles in on the sides and little wheels that touch the ground only when tipped. Then it would still be an awesome solid stand when sitting.

I think I'm not going to put wheels on it. I just use a hand truck if I want to move it.

Got some work done. Nice day and still light out after work. Sunny and calm before the blizzard we are getting.

Squared off all the timbers.


Not a perfect anvil but 230 pounds was fun to lift onto this semi complete stand. Just cleaned together for now. Next I will wrap it with 2 steel bands which are 1.25" wide by 1/8" thick. I might also add some lags or rods thru the stand to help keep it together. Also need to clean off the dirt and grease so I can glue it.

I'm happy with it so far.

I am continually amazed at your shop and projects. The Wiltons, the Cman Blocks, all of it!! Now the super great anvil!!

Good job!!

Thanks Herb. Now I just need more hours in the day so I can finish all my semi-complete projects.

 

[bagged89s10]

Got this last week. Don't need another one because I have too many but the deal was too good to pass up. And of course if there is a good grinder selling for a deal near me, I need to go get it. Just an addiction. I think I'm going to sell it if anyone on GJ wants it. If not, I will clean it up a bit.

 

[bagged89s10]

This weekend I hit up one sale and got a pair of nice Stanley planes.

 

[bagged89s10]

I just realized I have 10 semi complete projects that I need to get done. I need to stop starting new ones before finished others. Luckily warm weather is near so I might be able to catch up.

 

[bagged89s10]

My Weber grill restore is just about done. Didn't take any before pics. Got this grill over a year ago and finally had some extra cash to buy all the parts to fix it. Next update will show it complete.





Hardware in evaporust.

 

[bagged89s10]

And another addition to the project pile. Had to grab it for $30 and it was down the street from one of my customers. A Dayton 1" belt grinder. 1x42 I believe. Missing the disc sander part. Needs some bearing work but works.

Amen, brother---AMEN!

 

[bagged89s10]

Grill just needs a the new rocker switch for the igniter and the warming rack and she's good to cook with. I'm also waiting for a new crossover tube but I had to test it out. I'm debating on ordering a new pull out rack for underneath so I don't get grease drilling thru the small rust holes. I might order it today.















THe tank gauge is the only item I wish I sanded and repainted. I just cleaned it up all the moving parts and costed it with lube and dry graphite. Works like a charm.

 

[Grumblebum]

Nicely cleaned up bagged. I gave my bbq all of a hose out and rough clean today so we can cook some ribs tomorrow.

Will you repaint inside or leave it bare .?

Cheers GB

Thanks GB!
Hopefully I can use it tomorrow. The only part that hasn't come in is one of the warming racks and a new bottom tray. The new igniter switch, and new cross tube came in today.
I'll leave the inside bare. The inside of the top has a nice porcelain enameled finish, but the rest I'll keep it the raw cast aluminum. I don't see a need to risk paint getting into my food, even if the paint is rated at 1200 degrees F.

 

[bagged89s10]

It works great!

Bagged,
I have that exact weber since new, built like a tank; "Weber Genesis Silver C" love mine, well done on that resto too.... BTW if you store that outside look into a good cover made by Classic Accessories, I have the Hickory Grill Cover for mine, they have a few different series which equates to fabric choice and color. (amazon or other vendors)

Thanks cajunfirehawk! I ordered a Weber cover. I wish I knew about the classic accessories covers.
