Hello All.... I was asked to put this machine up here on it's own thread.... I did this a while back and blew my cork because I linked this to another forum I belong to and that is not accepted here... I apologize to all of you if you remember - I just was a little annoyed with having to do it all over again.... My appologies... I respect the rules here... So anyways... I acquired this last year from a member on another forum.. it came from Michigan and is a rare BS from what I have read. They ,made all but 21 of these and I have only seen 2 others .... where the others are.... who knows..... When I got the band saw - the bottom wheel and the shaft on the huge 3hp/3ph motor had to be machined...that was done on the Kingston lathe (picture) they originally put some shims in to get it balanced but it was not good... and was causing a slight hop in the top wheel so I sent the rotor and the BS lower wheel to O'Connell Machinery- great group of machinist-I have quite a few pictures to put up so bare with me... The Band Saw wheel was mounted on the Bullard vertical Mill (picture)for machining the center for the steel sleeve bushing.... they froze the sleeve bushing in Liquid Nitrogen and then press fit into the hub...and tapped 2 -5/32nd hex nuts in to keep it in place. (picture) and then when I got back to the shop I reinstalled the rotor back in the motor ,installed the bell housing,tightened everything down and installed the lower band saw wheel back on (picture).
