Hi, I don't see a problem here. I personally have "sold" a lot of stuff here. Any time I do a review and anyone buys the item after reading the review means I "sold it". Anytime I point out a web site where to buy something I'm acting as an unpaid agent in the selling of that it...

Sorry to disappoint, but it's not my ad. Just thought I'd tip off anyone local to this find. BTW, the guy has reduced the price to $75. Got to be a deal for someone nearby who enjoys restoring these machines, as many on this forum seem to do. Peace. Ken I AM disappointed in your LACK of principles....

What I ordered was this 555321 - 5/8" Arbor 500 It does not have a tongue washer and it does have the same surface area as the 1 1/4 arbor. I am not seeing what you guys are talking about with the blade mounting on the other side with the 1 1/4 arbor. I will have to get both of them side by si...

I have assumed that the eccentric mounting tubes are tight and the tailstock insert is also firmly set. . . .

Your tailstock tubes are 'eccentric'?

I started a new thread in order to post these pictures. I felt them easier to locate this way. You can thank my btide of nearly 39 years for these. Jan is paranoid I will injure myself before I heal. Okay the truth is she is the truly thoughtful partner in our marriage. Look around the edges of the...

Equalize the bolts in the mount lock to ensure that it will tighten equally to both tubes.
