Finally back to this. Got sidetracked rescuing a dog and other unexpected events. So I broke the second quill spring. I guess 65 years is about the limit for those things. I'm wondering if releasing the tension allows the spring to slip off the mount, but I'm going to go ahead and get a replacement ...

I only meant that I had the blades and was able to use them.

I'm new here. Years ago I posted on another SS forum, maybe a Yahoo group or something. But I like this one so I'll introduce myself and tell you about my SS stuff. I haven't been doing much with tools for years now following illness and the other stuff that makes life interesting, but now with some...

I couldn't get started right away on this today because the paint was still drying. I cleaned and waxed all the through holes and re-installed the quill feed assembly with the working spring.

The other holes concern me. The alignment of the original holes on the sides seemed a bit off and po...

I knew that, did the alignment over and over again to get it right, and somehow I still managed to turn the drill guide around the wrong way. The problem with redrilling is that the holes will overla...

Hi guys, Ed here. I used to post on some SS forum years back, not sure if it was this or something else. Years ago I purchased an upgrade kit and then became ill and have been sidelined for quite a while in different ways. Now with some time on my hands I'm finally doing the upgrade, and it's been f...
