1952 Tanner 10" Table Saw
I didn't want to get my hopes too high as I had only seen one photo in the ad on Gumtree.
I needn't have worried because it is a little ripper (see what I did there :U)
I don't have any photos of the condition it was in because I had to dismantle it to get it into the car by myself.
Really well made with a lot of thought gone into adjustments and setup.

I stripped it right down and started cleaning. Everything was in pretty good condition. Some old minor breaks in the casting had been well repaired.
I cleaned all the old grease out of the arbor and regreased it as the bearings felt fine.
The top, fence rails and fence were all rusted but it was only minor surface rust.
I got the wire brush on the angle grinder and cleaned it up pretty quickly. Some 220 grit Abranet on the ROS brought the table top up very nice.
Unfortunately the table has a non standard mitre slot, 1" wide rather than 3/4".
Fortunately it came with the original mitre gauge. :woot: It needed a bit of a clean but it came up nice as well.

The adjustment mechanisms hadn't seen a lot of love over the years and needed a good clean and regrease.
A rack and pinion to turn a square thread and raise and lower the table and another rack and pinion to tilt the table.

All back together and operating smoothly.

In the photo above you can see the fence lock bolt is missing.
It had gone walk about many years ago. Luckily someone posted a photo if the missing bolt in another thread.
I have some hard brass bolts, just the right size and it only took a few minutes to turn one into the missing bit.

The fence locks down nice and solid with bugger all movement at the other end. The extended rails give around 550mm maximum rip, which is plenty for what I want to do.
I'll make up a crosscut sled once it's up and running and maybe a drop down outfeed table.
The zero clearance insert is the one that was in the table. I'll need to make up a new one.
There is also provision for a riving knife, missing, so I will need to make one of those as well. I've got some old blades that I can cut up for the riving knife.
It is also missing a key and grub screw off the motor pulley so I can't run it yet but I will sort that out after Christmas.

Really happy with this little saw. I think I will get at least another 66 years of use out of it.
I'll strip the stand down and give it a paint one day too but you can't rush these things.

Tanner SB1053 Table Saw parts diagram
Tidying up in my workshop, I came across this parts diagram for the Tanner SB 1053 Bench Saw, so I thought I'd post it up here. In this thread I gave the details of where I got Tanner spare parts from: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f163/t...uestion-197607 This diagram came from them.
Graham.
