Hi Camo. Yeh table works a treat. All bearings are standard metric fortunately.just one of those budget type waiting things.Only $80.00 for the lot. I have bearing guides. I thought that as reasonable.

Thanks for an interesting thread, I see that you are going it alone with the tyre replacement, would you give more detail, matrial, crowning etc.

regards turri

Good day guys, is this thread still active? I've just aquired a 27inch Jeffwood machine from a retired carpenter here in Central QLD. Its a truly beautiful machine and I had to pull it apart to move it, Christ this thing is heavy!! I have been on the lookout for a saw like this for years, and couldn't believe my luck when one popped up locally.
I will post some photos soon, at the moment I'm trying to set it all up and get it running again (it was running 100% before disassembly for moving).
Regards.
Charlie

Well done Charlie... was that the one from Emu Park? Would love a big bandsaw like that but unfortunately they just don't fit under my house. Can't wait to get a shed someday.

Hi Charlie.
I haven't been on for a while. Sorry I missed your post.
I still have mine. Yes definitely heavy. Approximately 550kg.
I've had a VFD installed and run on 240v
