I think I have located all the parts here now...going to get the motor rewired this week...check the bearings, etc... Figured out what one extra part was for...fence for the table...will not be using the table saw, but will be useful for horizontal boring... Other piece goes on the end once I get it...

Why do you think the table posts are incorrect? One is quite a bit longer than the other one... I don’t know if they cut one of them down or what. I’m at least the third owner, so do not know its history, unfortunately... BTW, the carriage is able to move freely on the way tubes now...yay! Going to...

Table stop knobs? Does the one spare brass threaded one go here where the arrow is pointing?

I don’t think I have the correct table rods...

oh. 1 1/4?

Unfortunately, it only came with this one unless the other one is still on the machine somewhere...I’ll go check...

7F120BD3-2721-4941-92F1-A764F4C4A4CD.jpeg Here’s what I pulled out of the Evaporust today...I know I have a chuck key, a faceplate, some knobs, and a couple of arbors...not sure of the specifics on the arbors and knobs... Found a stop collar and set screw too... Anyone know offhand the hex nut size...

Thank you for that, Russ and to jpg for the suggestion on acetone and ATF to free up the parts so I can take it apart. I’ve soaked a lot of the rust-caked parts in Evaporust and I can see what they are now...looks like I have a couple of arbors and a faceplate (maybe? About 3” dia. and about 5/16” t...

I’d love to correct it, but everything is fixed firmly in place at the moment. I need to try soaking with PB Blaster and see if I can free it up. None of the set screws have been seized so far, thankfully. I have brass drifts, wood blocks, and dead blow mallet if needed to carefully apply mild percu...

Yes, I have the manual and the power tools woodworking for everyone..,I’ve been poring over them. Are you saying the headstock is installed backwards on the way tubes? If so, I suspected that when I was working on it today. Glad to have confirmation it wasn’t just my imagination. More pics of progre...

Thank you for your reply, Ron, and everyone else too... I appreciate your help... I began working on cleaning up the machine...I was able to get one side of one way tube pretty decent, but the other end is not cleaning up as well for some reason. Also wondering what the closest shade of gray enamel ...

Can I use a disc sander on the other side of my headstock? I’m not sure if the 10e/10er can do that, but I thought I’ve seen one do that in a couple of videos I watched...
