A retired buddy bought me a saw at auction. He said it has steel wings and maybe a 1/2 or 3/4 horse motor. He said its a 10 inch. I don't think he knows what the heck he bought me! Only $25 . I will pick it up tomarrow night late. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me,hope it's not direct drive.:thumbdown:
But I fear it must be.

For $25 if you don't want to use it as a saw convert it to a disk sander.

That's what I was thinking frank. I will get a look here in a little bit.

Missing the crank.. It's not a direct drive so that's good. It has the 1hp craftsman motor.

Saw and a 1 HP motor, can't go wrong for the price, looks promising.

Went out and looked at the hand wheel situation. If anybody has one please let me know. It's a black plastic type. The shaft is buggered pretty bad from the vise grips. I would like to bring it back to life,needs some love.

That's worth $25x4....good job on your buddy's part. I've got some extra plastic handles if you think you can make them work with the buggered shaft....$5 plus s/h.

How hard is it to remove that shaft?

Grizzly also sells both plastic and metal wheels (if Scott's doesn't work).

GET THAT SAW !!! ... You can totally clean it up and get a lot of years of good use out of it
(provided the motor still runs as it should and the blade mechanisms function as they should).

For $25, even a little additional work getting it cleaned up and in ship-shape would be totally worth it.

This is true ... In fact, I saw a posting on Lumberjocks where someone replaced the crank handle with a wheel they got from Grizzly. I will try to find the posting an link it up here.


EDIT/UPDATE:
Here is the link to which I was referring --> http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/945

I turned it on. Between the rollerskate wheels and bent blade it sucked. I'm tossing the china blade in the trash. Last owner was a hack.

First thing to do with those saws is remove the wings, unbolt it from the stand and lay it back on stand upside down. Now you can see what you are doing while you clean and adjust the hidden parts.

That's surely a nice deal. Goodluck on retrofitting. Enjoy the saw.

Thanks for the parts Scott!
