Re: Bandsaw Bearing Upgrade Problem
There is no lock washer. Ted OK how about the flat washer/spacer! I just went back and took a closer look at your pix. I do not see the washer/spacer. However I do see the blade guide base too far 'in'. Notice the blade is closer to the outer guide than the inner guide. The mounting holes are elong...

Re: Bandsaw Bearing Upgrade Problem
The guide blocks are nowhere near the blade. It is already where it naturally wants to be.

Bandsaw Bearing Upgrade Problem
I have a bandsaw with the older style brass bushing rollers, but with the aluminum table (SN plate is long gone), that I bought used 5 years ago. The squealing finally got to me and I decided to do the bearing upgrade. I went with double bearings as per http://shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewtopic.php?p=...

Speed Dial Repair
I've got an '86 vintage 510 and the knob on the speed dial came off last weekend (See pics). I'm sure someone out there has had to do this repair before, but I can't seem to find anything on the forums. I'm wondering how you went about it? I figure there are two ways to repair it. 1.

I use spray on adhesive to attach my sanding discs. I get it at craft stores for ~$6/can. I've also used rubber cement in the past. As far as the steel vs aluminum argument, I'll add that there are also 2 versions of the steel disc arbor. The newer version is longer and allows use with the latest ve...

You are correct about the operation of the circuit. The motor would have continued to run if I hadn't removed power. The start circuit is really only there to get the rotor up to operating speed. The capacitor is there to enhance the torque on the rotor at start up so it can reach operating speed un...

Dusty, Yes it does and it operates the same way and I see similar performance when I operate it manually. The problem is (I think) the spinning armature is getting stuck (intermittently) and leaving the switch closed, causing bad things to happen w/the capacitor as it would be continuously charging ...
