Thread: Dyco Superfine 12" Table Saw

Some things that I need to figure out:

• I am going to use a VFD for it, I created another thread for that in the ELECTRONICS section.

• I need to remove the arbour shaft to replace the bearings, but it doesn't move. I have removed all the the pins and bolts from the pulley, but it simply don't move... Any tips? Here are some pictures:

Judging by the broken casting looks like someone has tried to remove it previously with a rather large hammer ��

Good project! Mine was a fun - Dyco 12" Table Saw. I did replace the 3-phase motor with a single phase 240v motor. This worked well but from memory required a basic mounting plate made up to interface with the original bracket from the saw.

Hey Charlie! I know it! Hahaha, I even added you on LinkedIn to talk about this (sorry BTW).

To keep it cost effective I am going to use a VFD since it is hard to find a B5 flange single phase motor here in NZ for less than 300 dollars (I am going to pay 79 on the VFD at AliExpress).

It is an amazing project though, I am really enjoying the process

Cheers!

Update about the arbor: I did it! 😅
I bought this bearing puller and it is amazing! Really well made and relatively cheap: NZD 50.00, very heavy-duty.

After I removed the shaft from the housing, I had to remove the bearing from the shaft and then a new issue arose: how to remove a stuck shaft woodruff key? In my case I kept pulling the bearing and it pushed the key out, the bearing broke though, but that's fine, since I'm replacing it.

Here is a video and some pictures:
