You could flip the top

Lyle,
A quick search on Youtube game me this, there is a lot of information out there.
Grab a cuppa and watch a little (I have watched some of these before as I had similar questions)...

Might also be a plug with a screw underneath

Rick

I can see why you like the magic square Derek, it makes dovetails so easy :wink: :wink:

I have had a reply from the farmer at the place we stayed and he thinks it is some type of Tea Tree or a type of melaleuca.
After asking Mr Google it does resemble the bark of the Coastal Tea Tree...

Thanks for that

I had a look and the closest one is the River Banksia which isn't found in the area. I can assume that it must be a relative.

So Euge's suggestion of the Proteaceae Family looks...

Thanks Euge Here is another photo of another piece, it has more bark and may help

Hi Ray,


Glad too see I'm not the only one who has had this problem, I did some searching and found this video and realised I had been trying too hard to get it right by squeezing the end clamp...

I had found the LPR ones and will probably get them, I have a fitter mate who is going to look at his work on monday.

Rick

Thanks for the sizes
The bearings are made in England, would it be wrong to assume bsp

I was able to get it all off, nothing survives a wire brush on a grinder :D :D :D :D

Rick

Thanks for the Photos Vann, it has given me ideas for my bandsaw resto

Rick

It was previously primed in red oxide was the main reason and it is cast iron

Rick

Some progress, I have put some bog on the front and sides to clean up the casting and coated it in Red Oxide ready for a top coat.
Hopefully the top coat will happen tomorrow and then I can start on...

Good job Zac,
When I painted my Vicmarc and I wanted a colour close to original.
I contacted Vicmarc and they said a blue hammertone from the hardware.
Well the blue I thought looked as close to...

I have been thinking about putting levelling feet on , I am considering using the existing holes in the base to put the threaded rod through but will look at that closer to completion

Rick

I have now completed the trolley and it works a treat, my son and I wriggled and giggled it on.
I have started removing the paint and smoothing out some of the casting.

I would love too Derek but they are a bit out of my price range, a completes set would cost me 5 times what I paid for the saw :oo: :oo: :oo:

Rick

I had seen these in my searches and the Vesper ones look lovely, I will add them to my ideas collection.




Thanks Bob for the offer, I actually have one of those Woodfast 14" band saws. I may...

On these big band saws do the blocks rub all the time or are they set up very close?
I always thought the blocks were consumable, designed to be softer than the blade so it didn't wear the blade but...

Saw is now off the trailer and in lots of bits, no breakages.
The break back trailer made it easy to slide it off and stand it up. My son and his mate made short work of sliding it over to the...

While I am still waiting for my son to visit so I can get them last of the saw off the trailer I started to look up google about the guides on the machine.

It has a Wright style set on the top but...

Thanks for the tips guys, I shall be looking at that today.
The guard frame is 6x2 hardwood and very solid and it was leaning on that.
As I don't have a crane here taking parts of that may break...

Thanks Bob, the trailer is a break back one and I have a very big son and he has mates of equal size. We won't be lifting just a lot of sliding :)

Rick

Just pick this up, can't see any name on it yet. Will be making new guards for it and giving it a coat of paint.
My first job is to get enough people to help me get it off the trailer and into the...
