The floor is Shaw laminate in hickory. got it on sale for $.99/sq.ft. The shop has been up for 3 month, alot of use from it, moving the SS around and it hasn't shown any scratches yet. Very happy with it. Yes Daddy's little helper out there with me alot.:D She starting to get used to the noise of ...

still working on the shop it's approx. 12 x 16. here's a few pics for everybodies enjoyment.

parts missed me. yes the set screw was seated on the shaft not the keyway. now I need the c-clip and washer. atleast the SS is nice and clean... pulled the motor to take the sheaves apart, really gummed up in there. yes I forgot to lock the headstock before...learning curve:)

found the problem.... who ever took it apart last didn't have the keyway into the stationary sheave. Since I was home alone working on it, I tried to put it together myself. Well I had everything together but forgot to triple check the c-clip....as you can imagine what happen next, parts went flying ...

Has anyone tried a valve spring compressor for a car on it. Don't know if it's the right size but wondering about it.

I hope it's the set screw came loose. I'll look at tearing into it this weekend. I'm going to drywall and insulate the new work shop this weekend, most of the electrical is in except the service.

thanks for the info on the floating sheave. do you know what size hole i need to drill in the wood? the brass you see is just an optical illusion with the lighting and the flash. thanks again

Hi everyone, I'm new to the SS world just picked up a 1982 machine for a great price. I used it very little in the last 2 weeks since I got it. The problem with it is that the motor clutch keeps lining up with the opposite splines and not meshing together.see atttached pic. [ATTACH]18770[/ATTACH ...
