Ezycut 10"Table Saw Refurbishment/Servicing?
Newbie here, so apologies if this is in the wrong place...
I've inherited a 1960s era Ezycut 10" table saw from my dear old Grandad and I'd like to get it refurbished/serviced if possible. Any recommendations for a repairer in Bayside/Sth East Melbourne?
Cheers.

It would probably cost more to have the saw refurbished than it would be worth. Table saws of that era are pretty simple beasts, why not have a go at it yourself?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I used to have a Ezycut saw/planer combination so have tinkered with them. There may still also be a couple of other Ezycut owners on here that can help too. There would be no dealers out there that can service it as they are so long out of production. If you are up for doing it yourself there should be a few on here to give advice. Whats needing doing to it?
Regards
John

Hi All. Thanks for the replies.
I realise I could buy a replacement for less than it'd cost me to service, but as I said, it belonged to my Grandfather.
I'm not sure what it needs. It's been sitting in my garage under plastic for the best part of a decade and when plugged in nothing happens. Nor does the blade extend or retract when winding. I'm guessing the electric cabling and belts are completely perished. There's also a fair bit of surface rust on the table top (but that's easily fixed). I haven't opened it up yet.
I've got a new shed going up early next year and would love to have it running soon after. It might have to be my first 'shed project', but I'm not to confident when it comes to playing with electrics - hence my original post. I'm assuming whatever belts it needs are fairly standard sizes.
Cheers,

Probably a good clean and lube will get the blade winding up and down and some good old elbow grease on the table to clean it up. Belts are easy to get. Just take the old ones to a belt place and they should be able to size them. I would take the whole motor to a motor rewind place and see if they can help. They will either say yea or nay but they are kind of unique motors so would be good to see if the original can be saved as a first option.There has been a bit of discussion on here on Ezycut machines over the years so hopefully others will chime in. I just gave my machine away a few weeks to a young guy getting started in woodworking but enjoyed using it while I had it.
Old Ezycut Combination
A lot of pictures from years back got lost on the forum but I found a couple I still have so hope there is something there that can help. I think there is a manual there someplace. So all the best with the refurb and just ask if there is anything you want to know.
Regards
John
