I have a cover but haven’t even tried to put it on. I didn’t know that orientation would effect its fit, but that makes sense.

The motor was pulled from a “broken” treadmill. The motors were in great shape, so I snatched them up. The only negative is that the output shaft was half threaded/half ...

Hi, nice job on the restore. I have done just what you did. The rear table bracket (in your third picture) is upside down. Unbolt it and rotate it around with the bump up and it will correct the problem. If it is still off a little you can use shim washers but they are rarely needed.

After reading ...

I have had this reassembled for quite a while, but I haven’t used it much at all.

I noticed yesterday while setting up the table for drilling that the table is way off from square to the headstock. I realize that I have to adjust it front to back to get it square, but I don’t know of any side to ...

All I have is a cheapo 110V flux welder. My welding skills are the reason I'm so good at grinding, so I probably wouldn't be able to make this repair. It would be cool to try, but I should probably focus my free time on other things. Plus, the roommate (aka wife) gets a little bent out of shape when ...

I picked up everything except the way tubes. They were very thin (maybe not an actual magna original?) and had quite a bit of rust and even a couple good size dents. I told him he might as well scrap those.

After soaking a lot of the heavy pieces in vinegar, I was able to get a lot of the rust off ...

I planned on grabbing the SC, table/fence, jacobs chuck, table extension, miter, sanding disc, tool rest, motor and anything else that catches my eye.

The bigger and heavier stuff is what I'm not sure about.

I would take it all. No 10ER stuff should go to the junk yard IMO. If you are willing to ...

So I have a few broken or less than perfect parts on my 10er. I've been searching for parts and I found a cheap 10er locally that's in better shape than mine when I got it. It has a speed changer and all the basic pieces plus quite a few extra parts I wouldn't mind having.

I set up a deal with the ...

Thanks! I added a speed changer set to the MKC order. Also just picked up some 3-in-1 to try out. Thanks for the help.

I guess I'll keep the link belt around until I get brave and upgrade the motor.

I searched the forum but I'm not finding an answer to this question:
Can I use a link belt with the speed changer? I have to order some random parts from Skip at MKC so I figured I should ask just in case I need to add a speed changer belt set to the cart. I already have a link belt but I can't ...
