Thread: Need help finishing my Uni-saw setup.

  1. #1

    Need help finishing my Uni-saw setup.

    I have a new to me Rockwell Unisaw. I purchased this back around 2009 but had it stored in a home in a state I did not live in. I just moved back to this home and am ready own a working Unisaw. It is a 3hp 3 phase motor and I have got the VFD working and the saw spinning up.

    I have built two throat plates, gotten a left hand nut, installed a Biesemeyer I had picked up.

    I still need to find a motor fan to fit the motor. The old fan is missing all the blades. I removed the set screw on it and the interior is 29/32". The inside of the housing of the motor end cover is 8" diameter. Where should I look for a fan to fit this?

    The saw has 3 belts but they seem to be 3 sizes, Where should I look for a set of matching belts? The motor is a Rockwell RW 024.

    In the past i have used some gauges and tools to tune my portable contractor saw to a very precise setup. I am under the impression it will be even easier with the Cabinet saw. I can use the loosened saw top and tap it into place to get alignment with the saw blade and miter track. How do i then go about making the saw blade and Biesemeyer parallel?

    Thanks in advance for any help. I can't wait to get this saw running and try the nickel test.

    These might work for the motor fan. They are plastic so you could bore out for the correct shaft dia and drill for a set screw.

    Here is one options for belts. I have read that you only one beltwith new belt tech or any 3 belts will be close enough with current belt tech.

    The beisemeyer fence is made parallel to the miter slot by adjusting the 2 set screws on the fence where it rides the rail. This is a biese clone manual. The adjustments will be the same.

    For the fan, check the motor repair shops in your area. The one near where I used to live saved parts from scrapped motors to repair working motors. They might also have a source for buying new.
