New to SS

Post by badboyrcg70 »

Hey guys,
Had a Mark 5 given to me by my dad this weekend. It appears from the
serial number to be from 57. Attachments included the bandsaw, joinner,
compressor, belt sander.
Everything worked except the quill would not
extend or retract so i had to use penetrating oil to get it to loosen up and
even then had to use a BFH to get it out. It appears to be a dual bearing
because its like 6" in. So I need to find out if the belt is different then
original. Here is a picture to enjoy and then 2 of some of pieces i have yet to identify.(cable ext drive and then bracketry?)

Where to start?

First I hope you removed the half dog set screw in the top of the headstock that prevents the quill from coming out or rotating.

That green 'bracketry' belongs to something else.(roto tiller?)

That is indeed a flexible shaft.

The only 'different' belt would be if it is a Gilmer drive.(Gilmer belt rather than current poly-v belt.

It is doubtful that it would have a two bearing quill unless it has been upgraded from a gilmer to a poly-v.

Count the splines on the quill shaft. 6/14 = Gilmer/Poly-v.

I cannot help but wonder what the BFH was hitting?

P.S. Electrolysis is the 'solution' for the cast iron bandsaw table.
