She is looking very nice indeed! I find myself more anxious to see the end results every time you post an update!

Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

Here we go, sweet and simple, pictures are self explanatory, and no, it's not finished.......just preparing myself....

Many Thank's to you Kent and Blackfly from CT for all the help ,Thanks Gents,,BIG TIME!!!!I ran yours on the plasma cutter as well Blackfly, identical to Kent's with no issues...Both dry runs before the cut....

Nice! Is that a reproduction of the original cover, or your own design?

The design is not original to the saw....if you look at the beginning of this restoration you will see what it looked like originally, and it is Moak's original configuration. As far as the replacement, they call this a serpentine spoke layout, as in reference to the HB Smith band saw wheels, but I don't think that's correct., but I am not sure.. I thought it looked a little Helical, a little turbine, so that's what I came up with.......
It was my design from paper, but a buddy of mine from another forum worked it into a CAD -DFX for the plasma cutter for me..-THumbs Up Kent!!!!

Well,
I figured our what I wanted to do for the Angle read and how.
The 90 & 45 degrees are the blue temp markers. you turn to the left(counter clockwise to get to the 45. I will be stamping those in...and then fill it with green paint then wiping it off to highlight the markings.
You can see what was there- always had to take the single handle out ,turn it 90 degrees (stopping at the underside of the table) and insert it back in to get to a true 45 degree angle ...
Fished prepping the wheels, guards, trunnion, Gage wheel, lower inclosure..... priming and painting tomarrow.... the end is coming....:clap::laughing:
