I have to admit it. I like old stuff. Maybe its just because I am old stuff. This weekend I spent some time with this particular old stuff, and enjoyed it immensely. Not just the stuff, but the memories it brought up. If you'd enjoy the rest of the story, and some insight into how some old people think, here it is: The Paint Job. Some more photos from this weekend are here: Some of my shop equipment.
The arbor assembly has been shipped out for rebuild. I have a new 1-phase motor (3 HP Leeson), and I'm thinking it will all come together early in December. The saw came with a three-phase motor, and after an internal debate of five months, I decided to replace the motor with single phase rather than go for a 3-phase conversion. I pretty much think that I won't be acquiring additional 3-phase equipment.
