![]() ![]() PLEASE NOTE: was founded as a public service toĪmateur and professional woodworkers who enjoy using and/or restoring vintage machinery. This is my first attempt at a restoration. Last photos are of a plywood enclosure I made for a safety switch for this machine. This saw will likely replace my Walker-Turner table saw which is also featured on my profile. I prefer to keep the machine in its original condition as much as possible while doing these upgrades. I would like to mount the safety switch without making any modifications or alterations to the saw. Still working on refurbishing the original fence and mitre gauge, fabricating a mount for the safety switch, and fabricating a solid rolling base. After some minor adjustments, the saw runs smoothly and vibration free. I wired a safety paddle switch (Woodstock D-4160 110-volt paddle switch on ). Finally, I removed the cast iron wings, removed surface rust, painted edges, polished, and dry-lubed machined surface before final assembly. Reassembled, aligned pulleys and adjusted motor orientation. ![]() Cleaned, polished, and dry-lubed (Elmer's Slide-All) trunnions and worm-gear mechanisms. I ordered new and correctly sized arbor and motor pulleys. The broken pulley also caused tremendous vibration which the seller attributed to the rickety rolling base. The area that was broken was polished to a mirror finish by the belt so it was apparent the saw was operated for some time with this broken pulley. The pulley on the arbor had a large piece missing. I replaced the arbor bearings (ABC number 88503) and replaced missing spanner nut that retains the outboard bearing. I disassembled much of the machine, sanded and primed case and stand, and painted with Rustoleum Dark Machine Gray rattle can spray paint. Surface rust and staining on tabletop, sheet metal case, and stand. motor, and rickety shop-made rolling base. Machine came with original stand, Craftsman 1 H.P. Purchased from a seller on Craigslist in Columbia Heights, Minnesota for $65.00. ![]()
