I haven't updated this thread for ages but thought I'd post a few new pics.. Got the majority of the painting done and reassembly is 90% complete. Going on from these pics I've repainted the cast top now as well and mounted the new single phase motor.. Everything seems to be working fine...

Been a bit busy lately and not able to get much done.. Started the cleaning and painting tho... Halfway through the priming

Nice way to kill a few hours/days/weeks.....

Just sent an email to SharkGuard asking for a price on one of their riving knives and crown guards... They look excellent items but it's gonna be a lot of £££

Dave.. Thanks for the good info.. I think it was your sketchup drawings I have for both knives. Did you manage to get one made for your saw in the end? If so do you know what they made it from? I hear mild steel bends too easily. I'll need to find somewhere that can cut one for me, either that...

That's a bold choice

Of course, I forgot one of the biggest things! I need to choose a paint colour!!! decisions, decisions, decisions!

So that's about 90% of the disassembly completed! I still have the fence to dismantle, tilt mech to remove, and then decide if I'm going to pull the spindle and raise/lower mech apart. They are running really nicely on the bearings - zero play and sounding smooth so I'm tempted to leave them as...

Just in case anyone from the future is following this thread, this is what you need to unscrew to remove the rise/lower gear in order to get the main trunion out. Apparently it is a 1/4" gas pip screw!

Sadly stop drilling won't fix these cracks... I've got a feeling that when it was moved it was probably dragged by the fence rails or one of the table extensions (hence the damaged bolts there as well). I'll have a ponder before it goes back together.. best case is it still holds fine and it's...

Just came in to have a quick read through on how to remove the main mechanism now as I can't see how the raise lower mech comes off which as far as I can tell is whats obstructing the whole thing from just lifting out.

Got the main top off now and confirmed that there are 2 cracks running under the front and rear fence rail mount holes on the right hand side. Not great news.. hopefully they don't explode when I go to refit the fence rail.

Bob.. Thanks, that is INCREDIBLY generous of you. I live in the midlands though, so by the time we post them back and forth it would cost about half the price of a little cheap set. As I'll probably only ever use them a few times a cheap set would probably suffice for me. But once again...

I'm looking to see if I have a bsw tap to clear out the holes, but re tapping is an option. Considering the previous owners seem to have been running the saw back to front, it's anyone guess what happened to these lol

According to the parts manual they are 3/8" whitworth x 1 1/4 inches... ebay have them, but as you say, just over £1 eac At least the allen bolts for the fence rail are a bit more reasonable

Took the table extensions off and the left hand bolts are looking a bit worse for wear... Might need to source some replacements or retap the holes for some new ones... (they look worse in person then the pic) The table has had a couple of oil baths to try and soften up the rust so now it's...

Ok, so a little more progress tonight and a moment of genius(?) at the end! Started cleaning up the table top and it is going to take AGES if it comes back at all. I know I'll never get it looking like new but I was hoping to at least get it smooth again. I think the corrosion is pretty...

My last creation was a prototype that will hopefully get re-made in some oak for a craft brewer as a Christmas present. It's called a beer flight or beer paddle. Basically a holding device so you can easily carry a few pint glasses at a time. This one was just knocked up with some scrap 18mm...

So the saw lost a bit of weight today... Firstly I removed a dyson full of sawdust from the bottom this morning and then set about removing the switch gear and motor.. Came off without any real issue and my 2 belts looked in pretty good nick! Removal of the old DOL left a nice big hold in...
