Title: Table Saw Died
Post by: charlieparrish on December 21, 2010, 04:40:04 PM

Just in time For Christmas   *aah*   *cry* Bearings went out while I was reducing some alaskan yellow cedar. I don't have a spare motor for it.. it is a direct drive..but I did unearth and old 1HP belt drive motor that came off an old 1960's Craftsman..have to take it apart and rebuild it...can't afford a new saw..or even a new motor ...I probably will get the old Craftsman up and running sometime tomorrow..it was a top of the line saw in its day...but a 1HP motor ain't gonna cut it for any length of time...taking the opportunity to clean up the shop and move stuff around. Getting rid of a couple of old bandsaws too a 14" craftsman and a 14" Universal...trying to get a little more open space in the shop

Geez just saw this Charlie and what a bad thing to happen.  Must have been all that osage you've had to cut for me over the years  *cry*

I'll tell Daryl it was the secret pot call you built me  *peep*  *lol*
