cleaning table saw bed
I've been searching here for an answer, I just can't find it, so apologies for asking a simple question. I have a SS 500, and the aluminum table top has a lot of oxidation.

Re: SS 500 Router function?
I'll give it a shot, and report what my results are. Might be a while, as I'm in the midst of making toys, repairing/refurbishing a 2nd SS 500, and a joiner. That, plus spring yard work projects has my plate full.

Re: Idler shaft gets super hot
Update on the hot idler shaft issue. I picked up a replacement idler/sheave assembly. Night and day difference in how they spin. The 'hot' one is definitely bad, replacement one is doing fine. Thanks to all that helped me figure this out.

SS 500 Router function?
I have a SS 500 that was upgraded to the double tilt by the previous owner. I'd like to know what experienced smithers think about using it for under table routing. And, what components would be needed. Thanks much

Adding dustport to older bandsaw
My SS 500 band-saw doesn't have the dust port. Is there a recommended way to add one?

Is the Smart Motor Speed Dial Ring, Back-Up Spring, part# 504196
I'm replacing belts, and adjusting the speed quad/dial on my recently acquired Mark V. I watched a video, and it showed a part that I didn't find on mine. Under the speed dial, there's a spring, called the Smart Motor Speed Dial Ring, Back-Up Spring, part# 504196, reference #73 per the diagram at ht...
