Greetings!
Newbie question here: I took off the metal drive hubs from the headstock and of course didn't pay attention to the fact that it looks like there is a right and wrong direction for the top metal hub. I'm trying to set up the bandsaw, two questions, I'm sure the answers should be obvious but I've already had my allotted share of mistakes.

These questions are regarding the top connection (where I connect the bandsaw)

Is the metal hub supposed to fit all the way back (flush) or is it supposed to stick out? (I have it flush in the picture)

The set screw should be located towards the back correct? It's not in the middle of the hub and I forgot to check before I took it off.

Thanks so much for all your help! I turned it on for the first time yesterday, oiled up everything and fixed the speed changer which was hinky.

That looks correct.

You got the easy one. Entire length the same od!.


I am not that familiar with that one, but I believe the set screw should be close to the center of the flat.

I agree flush with the shaft end.

I have both and yes his is installed correctly although I doubt it would be a problem if it was the other way. Flush is also correct.
