Dyco Combo Saw Bench
I have just inherited a Dyco saw bench made in N.Z. It's over 30 years old. Does anyone have any clues on obtaining a maintenance booklet or something to help me change the saw blade and belt or do any other routine maintenance. Also it has a buzz and bore capacity. What is that all about? and how do they operate. :confused:

I recall it has a "jointer" on the side and a dowelling attachment too. Dyco was pretty good stuff. It was one of about 3 - 4 NZ manufacturers. Suggest: do a google search and you might get more info...

I have an 8"/4" 'Tanner' combo, with the tilt table - also NZ made. If it is similar, they are very solidly built, and simple in construction. If you search 'jointer tune-up' and 'table saw tune up' and the like, and follow your nose you would have to work hard to do the wrong thing.

I have a Dyco 10" saw 4" buzzer of about that age. Very simple machine, very sturdy and solid. Easy to change blades and belt. Watch for the reset button on the motor if it overloads and cuts out. You can get it with a long rod or dowel poked in.
Email me at [email protected] if you have a particular question.

G'day Pete
That is a good score.
I have the newer Woodworker (new about 2 years ago)

If yours has the same belts etc as mine then John at Dyco can help - I have recently bought a few spares for mine. I'm not sure that they are still manufacturing as the agent I dealt with mentioned that the workshop they used had new occupants.
Overall they are pretty good machines and definately built to last.Cheers from NZ

By the way, what is the dowelling attachment? I don't think mine has that?
Cheers from NZ

This is an old thread but I thought that I would give it a shot. Is there anyone out there (preferably in Auckland, New Zealand) who would like an old DYCO Super Safety Combination. This is a cast iron, belt driven sawbench, buzzer and boring/ dowelling unit. It has never stopped running and came with a 2 year warranty . . . . some time last century. I have the original spare parts and service list, the original brochure and the original dado set. A new Dewalt DW4791 means that this is offered to a good home - somewhere in Auckland because it is damn heavy and you are going to have to pick it up - with a token $50 if you can manage that. I'll try to prepare myself for the rush of interest. Hey, maybe a museum?

Hi John-W, I have just been given a DYCO Super Safety Combination saw and I am chasing information so that I can restore I notice in your past that you had spare parts and service list. Do you still have a copy of these or the email of the person that you passed it onto. It willbe a great assistance as it’s in a very bad condition.
Regards
Steve

Interested
Helo John. I am live in Franklin and am a total novice to the world of wood working. I have an old shed which I am looking to transform into a working area and am looking for some basic tools which a newbie could learn to use. I may not be classed as a museum but if it is available, would be welcome your consideration.
Also wondering if there are any Mens Sheds in the area where some skills could be learnt. And I remember the last century well.....
Thanks

I have just sold my Dyco so I cannot help you there I am afraid. Also I don't know a thing about Mens Sheds but I am sure that a quick search would get you what you are after. Good luck with your new interest in woodworking; just don't cut of any thumbs.

Hi John,
Any chance of posting the manual again? I’m curious about how the tool chucking worked for boring. Looks like standard shaft size on tool with a flat and grub screw?
