For the extension table mounting bolts, I recommend you use threaded studs(Allthread?) and 8 nuts and 8 flatwashers(thicker the better). That will provide an ability to align the ext table at all 4 stud locations. Agreed, I saw that thread a few days ago and since they are missing already its the t...

Think that might be it thanks! looks like Im missing a bracket and a few bolts at least.

Put the whole thing back together today, noticed a few missing bolts and still trying to figure out if those blocks are the cool blocks and salvagable.

Most the headstock is now reassembled. Looks like I'll be needing a new speed changer, motor drive belt, new quill bearing just to be safe, and a fan sheave spacer that was just plain missing. My bandsaw is coming along well and I also have to figure out the saw guards. Check out my shopping list he...

After a weather delay in cleaning, and starting on fixing up my band saw in another thread, I got some more pieces cleaned up [ATTACH]11812[/ATTACH] Only the main table and aux table legs are left to really clean, and I can deal with those later. I'll be trying to fit all these pieces together and s...

And a good soak in Evapo-rust cleaned up the t...

Looks interesting whatever it is. Bill V I have a pulley cover that seems to fit on that clip. Not sur...

This is shaping up nicely. Great job cleaning and refurbing. Are you going to convert the quill to dual bearings? If so please post those photos, becasue I will do it too if I know how. Thanks, a little cold to continue with the cleaning using mineral spirits outside today, it's a very chilly -4F o...

I do have the bandsaw cover and its in perfect shape, just not in the pics. But no cleaning today. Its too damn cold outside (-20C / -4F) to scrub and soak in mineral spirits.
