Thread: Split nuts?

Wood Borer was looking for the exact same thing a few months ago.

In the end, I think Al sold or gave him an old wreck of a saw from the Craporium and he salvaged the nuts from that.

I don't think that they are easy to come by.

Maybe Al has an old saw he can sell you?

hmmm.
Great thanks, will see what comes by.

Heres some split nuts.

Here we go i think i answered my own question?

The following quote is from www.vintagesaws.com (the guy that started independance saws. later sold to Lie Neilson)

"Q: I have a saw that is missing some nuts, do you have any for sale?

A: No, sorry. I get about 50 requests like this a week. I maintain a small supply from junked saws to replace missing nuts for saws I sell on the site. You might consider stopping by yard sales or look for junk saws on Ebay. For a couple bucks you can get a set of 4-5 and have a few spare. There are no new saw nuts made as far as I know."


bugger!

Guess I'll never know.

If I may interrupt this frivolity for a second (as is my practise) and bring this thread back onto topic (as is also my policy).

I can't believe that they don't make 'em anymore.

Sandvik saws have plastic handles bolted on.

I reckon if you go through the NewDelhi phone book, you'll come up with a supplier who'll sell you a container load for the price of a sixpack, and you'll be able to corner the world saw restorer's market.

Carb-I-Tool list saw screws in their catalogue, Part No. SSCREW.

A reseller of Carb-I-Tool router bits should be able to get these in.
An internet reseller is AP Workshop:

Chicago Bolts. Get 'em from Lee Valley or 'Old Fashioned' full service stationers. Available in different lengths by 1/4" increments.

OK the stationer's 'Chicago Bolts' will probably have smaller heads than old saw bolts, but your alternative is to have them cast up by a jeweller's investment casting contractor. You will have to supply an original & direct copies may be a bit smaller, but they may also be able to put you in contact with someone who can malke you a new master - want your initial/portrait/other cast in the plain side?

Pretty sure I saw some at Universal Bolt Bloke a couple of years ago.

Eckersleys have them. Give your nearest branch a ring first, as they may not be in all stores.
