I ordered some drum sander sleeves that were on sale recently during their Black Friday sale along with a shaper insert for my table. Both were sent to an address I used about 10 years ago when I was still in the military...Apparently a glitch in their new system. Customer service eventually sent ou...

I recently ordered and received the 8 inch Woodworker I (Mr Sawdust TCG) blade for my SawSmith radial arm saw from Slivers Mill. It’s on sale now too. It is a great blade. No tear out and cuts were smooth and you need minimal sanding.

Following... these are pretty hard to find based on trying to find parts for my SawSmith RAS. Thanks for posting pictures.

Was wondering if anyone had any other spare parts for the SawSmith RAS? I have the opportunity to get another saw for restoration but it is missing the plastic cover assemblies that are on either side of the unit. There is a left and right cover.

You can download a manual and exploded parts document for your model and there is a boatload of info about the machine scattered through the thread. Maybe a good idea to post your question in that thread. There is a spring putting pre...

I am not familiar with the RAS, but with a reeves drive some means must be provided to either detent or clamp the control 'knob'. The belt tension will cause the speed shift.

Thanks.

Was wondering if anyone had the dimensions or would be able to trace and copy the outline of the SawSmith floating saw guards to post here? I am still working to restore my Yuba model. The instructions and a photo of what the guards look like are below. Thank you.

In the recent special they have the SawSmith RAS Clamping Hub for sale (Part 516461).

I tried to look up the part using the parts reference at the beginning of this thread. Anyone know what it is?

Got my SawSmith cleaned up and running. Late in posting a pic. Had to replace the capacitor, repainted the stand, replaced hardware for the stand, put down a new temporary MDF table on top of the original table. Lubricated the sheave and cleaned up the rails. Before and after pics attached. Thanks t...
