Durden Pacemaker

[lacewood]

Hi all
I have just picked up an old blue Durden Pacemaker (tablesaw with planer etc) cheaply and have serviced it, but being more of a turner than a wood worker, would like to know what size blade I should fit to it. Also, what sort of fitting goes on ether side of the blade and where would I get one from. The locking nut is there, but it would seem some sort of bushing is missing. This is an old unit which I am sure someone is familiar with. Otherwise the unit seems quite sound. Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

You could email the people at this linkhttp://www.axmell.com.au/
here in Adelaide, they should be able to help you.
Pacemakers come in a few models with either 10" or 12" blades, well thats my understanding anyway. eg UP10 = 10" UP12 = 12".
Good luck
Rod

I have a fairly old Durden Pacemaker but it's black, not blue. I think contacting Axmell is your best bet too but if you don't have any luck there, let me know and I'll photocopy the relevant bits of the manual for you.

Many thanks for the advice folks. I shall do as you suggest.
