That place looks amazing! great link Dadude

My theory was a shot in the dark. Your procedure sounds great, right down to the tape tag so you could lift the piece out. No way I would have thought of that!

Thanks Bill, this is a great thread! I have been thinking about the copper plating issue. I have seen a similar effect when one uses steel pliers or tweezers to grab the piece from the pickle pot. The contaminated acid would plate all of the non ferrous metals with copper. I should mention that I ha...

Hi Curt, I like your approach. I suspect that the 3 hp motor is probably a bit much but thats not an issue in my book as long as the RPM is right and the motor fits. These delta/rockwell units are numerous and well built so I am sure that you will be able to use the pulley that you found. I do not h...

Can you post a picture so we can see where this beast landed in your studio? Thanks!

I have a pre 1946 unisaw and shaper. The wings are the same for this generation.

Marvin, Yes my shop is always spotless in that photograph! The reality is that I have been cleaning for two weeks and I can only now see the floor!

Great to have you onboard! What is a RHCS? Some kind of screw head shape?

OK- now what is the plan? I have done such stupid things in the past on my smaller saws. Crowning tires is a major PITA.

Nice work Crzy.

My AEM 12" has undersized table ways and a replacement motor and drive for the table. Two areas that they could have improved. You WILL benefit from the work that you have done

See you tomorrow Dereyk! Then the saw will start its journey to Alaska

thanks

Crzy,

I think you are remembering the recommendation differently than me. My memory is that it is a 3 or 4' 4 x 4 and no hammer. The wood is used as a battering ram to drive the wheel home.

I used this technique on my saw with a chunk of 16/4 I had lying around. It worked very well

It's a PHE 15061. Is that 1961?

I wanted to post my experience with the hydraulic brakes. Mine are in need of a rebuild again! The pistons on the lower wheel have bound up and the brake was partially engaged. My solution was to remove the assembly. Ugly but effective.

I would much prefer the mechanical brake system!

Congratulations!

I am looking forward to tge video. Can you pull off the coin on edge while you rip thing?

Great job!

I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the saw. Paint? Right into service? Does the metal shop need to be reshuffled to accommodate it?

EDIT: I see that a new post snuck in while I was writing mine. Almost all of my questions answered. It looks great!

I cant tell if the operator stopped the saw? How long does it take to wind down?

Russ, I am yet to get the machine online. This is not due to technical hurdles, just my own flakieness. I was thinking of finishing the machine so this post gives me the excuse that i need to pull it out and get back to work. I am sure that i will be able to help with the wiring questions that you h...

Nice video!
How long would it take to stop if you disabled the brake? I did not know that the soft stop was an option. Very cool

I had the pleasure of seeing the saw in person. The paint job is out of sight. The bondo and glazing compound has paid off!

Looking forward to seeing the pieces go back together

Welding and turning that arbor was above and beyond. I expect nothing less from you!

Well done.
