    T-Stack Screwfix

    I can confirm the Stanley fatmax prostack/tstak organisers are exactly the same as the dewalt tstak organisers and fit together perfectly. I have several from both brands and they are identical except for the badges. Even the imprinted/moulded batch numbers on the rear are identical on both...

    Hello, my old shed fell down

    I have a very similar log cabin garage workshop - from the fencing centre in Dorset. Seven years old and very happy with it. Painted the timber in Sadolin super dec - about 3 coats and still looks good as new! Bloody expensive paint tho! I have had a few similar issues to Brian, especially with...

    Old Startrite table saw identification

    What paste wax did you use as I am probably going do the same? If you want I could always make a paper template of the knife and send to you in the post?

    Old Startrite table saw identification

    I did ponder this but there wasn’t anywhere that local, plus I want to keep the old sticker decals which blasting would make short work of. I’m going to use a 120 flap disc for the cast iron top (rightly or wrongly) as it is so pitted that I am not getting far with wet and dry plus WD40. I will...

    Old Startrite table saw identification

    Just measured the RK, not convinced it’s the original as it seems to be 2mm thick, rather than an imperial measurement, see attached photo. I think out of precaution I will get some 3mm stainless plate and cut out a replacement.

    Old Startrite table saw identification

    Just checked your thread, what a great restoration. Did you get it sand blasted? And how did you get the top so clean? I was thinking of sanding it all down and giving it a new paint job myself, startrite green applied either by a brush or rattle can. Sure I will measure up the riving knife and...

    Old Startrite table saw identification

    Thanks, I will send him an email. Apart from the guard possible upgrade or modification it seems to all be working perfectly fine. Looked on his website for all the different models but no match. Looks like it must be a very early model.

    Old Startrite table saw identification

    Hi all, Just obtained a lovely old startrite table saw, fully working and solid. Chap said it has been in his family for at least 60yrs. Will be in the process of restoring soon, however I cannot work out what model it is, any help appreciated! It has its original saw guard but never seen...

    Startrite 352s bandsaw phase conversion 3 phase to single help

    Hi Geoffo, Yes I did manage to get it sorted. Works a treat now. Single speed 1hp but more than adequate for woodwork. It did require a motor swap, new contactor and overload to be fitted. Luckily the 24v transformer for the lamp was dual voltage so just needed the wires moved from 415 to 240. I...

    Cast iron repair - RJH sander

    Hi all, Managed to get it all apart today. Pictures below. the bearing had failed, it was clogged with detris. I think it was a self aligning type, stuck at an awkward angle. My guess is that was what made the bracket crack, by putting too much stress on it. RJH got back to me today, they...

    Cast iron repair - RJH sander

    Thanks for the advice, Just took another look, it does have a bearing housing on the other side. Tomorrow will see if I can take it all off and have a proper look and see how it is attached, and measure it up. think making a new one from steel might be the best way forward. Flat steel is not...

    Cast iron repair - RJH sander

    Hi all, just acquired an horizontal RJH 6inch bandfacer. Pictures below. Everything works as it should, however one of the cast iron side brackets has broken. Has anyone had any experience of cast iron repair? I have emailed RJH to see if they have a spare part, but due to the age of the...

    Startrite 352s bandsaw phase conversion 3 phase to single help

    I think this is my best bet to be honest, but I am a bit stuck with this, the New motor has the attached diagram inside the box housing. The instruction sheet that came with the motor is poor and only one sheet. I am unsure if I can reuse the original wires or whether I have to rip it all out.

    Startrite 352s bandsaw phase conversion 3 phase to single help

    This was my initial thought, and I nearly bought one from Transwave, however I thought I would ask them first if it was suitable, they said an inverter is not an option and rotary would be my only option. Alt spares mentioned that the motor was specifically built and designed for the 352s. Have...

    Startrite 352s bandsaw phase conversion 3 phase to single help

    Hi Frank, it is tempting but I have all the bits, plus if both my transformers are dual voltage and there is nothing wrong with them then I prefer to reuse them. Plus with a no volt switch - if I am right on this after reading other forums - there is no overload protection for the motor.

    Startrite 352s bandsaw phase conversion 3 phase to single help

    I think your right Steve, looking at the diagram inside the motor housing it looks like there is 2 x L1s L2s and L3s. Guess the speed switch on the front switches from one set to the other.

    Startrite 352s bandsaw phase conversion 3 phase to single help

    Hi All, I am completely new to this forum, so apologies if I have posted in the wrong section! First came across the forum searching for some advice and after reading some of the threads quickly realised that everyone on here really knows their stuff and it is packed with useful information...
