The more I look at it, the more I like it.  I've never liked PM's
stock goldyellowbabypoopwhatever color.  In fact, there are those
who believe that PM's descent from prominence into WMHell was not
the result of changing values in society and international
influences, but was instead due to their poor choice of paint colors.

Very nice restoration!

If you wind up like the rest of us, 20 x 40 won't be big enough, you will be
want a 50 x 100 or some such building. Some of the guys on the list buy
equipment to have and others buy it to actually use it. I fall somewhere in the
middle.  Good luck with your new endeavor.
Is it Bill or Tom?

Indeed, I presses two seals in there instead of one because of the very
reason you're experiencing.  Because of the depth of the casting hole
on the one I had, I think I could have gotten three seals pressed in
there.

Hope that bearing noise isn't a worn cutterhead bearing seat.  Take off
the drive belts and test the up and down slop.

That 10 foot a year is conservative.  I was told a man needs 12 feet a
year on his shop building when I started building my 24x40.  2 stories
is cheaper and you have plenty of outside wall to run a shed roof from.
   It will allow you to keep your fork lift out of the rain.

I have an older Unisaw with a bullet style 1.5h 3 phase motor.There is
no motor plate, so I was wondering if it can run on 440 volt,
currently I am runningit on 220 volt off or my rotary phase converter,

would eliminate my need for a transformer.

If the motor can run on 440 volt what would be the wiring sequence.

> Boy, time to send an Oliver quadrant guage over to Cattail.

Good news for those following the Oliver quadrant gauge thread.  The
original "splitting fence" (aka rip fence) and quadrant gauge for Oliver
Universal Saw Bench #432 are now safely in my hands.

There are a few small differences between this quadrant gauge and the one
shown on p.11 of the 1906 catalog B.  This could mean that our initial
estimate of 1906 for a DOB on my saw is a little off, or -- more likely --
that some of the artwork in the 1906 catalog is reused from some older
publication... no surprise there, given the cost of producing those detailed
plates in 1906.

As the usual Oliver cronies (TM) already know, the original cast iron face
and tilt mechanism on splitting fence have been replaced by a wood assembly.
I'll be looking to have replicas made up for those components, so if any of
you lurkers out there have an original, I'd be very interested in discussing
this.

I uploaded the pics to the mothership, partly because someone might want to
reference them at some future point, but mostly because we've hit our quota
over at Yahoo! Groups.  It may be time to clear some old stuff out over
there.

http://www.owwm.com/PhotoIndex/detail.asp?ID=3058

Hopefully this will prod T.J. along to find the original components for his
saw as well!

I just checked.  I don't see any movement.

Do you have any other sources for that bearing?  I called accurate and
they couldn't find the bearing.

It's an 88510 with a snap lock.  Mine has JAF as the mfg.

I would have guessed that accurate would have had it or could get it.
JAF is a brand they use.  Next, I would try Motion Industries, but they
will be a little more pricy.

If the bearing seat is bad on the cutterhead, you won't see movement,
but you'll be able to feel the little bump-bump as you move the pulley
up and down.

Subject: OWWM Painting Logistics
tra_74
Send Email Send Email
 
As a guy who's new to the whole HVLP spraying thing, I'm wondering how you
guys handle the logistics of repainting OWWM.  Here's the scenario:

Once you put the paint in the gun, there's only a finite amount of working
time, so it would seem that putting one component in the make-shift paint
booth, painting it, letting it dry for a few hours, and then swapping it out
for the next component won't work.  You need to somehow set everything up
and shoot it at the same time, however several of the components are very
large (RAS table, RAS legs, arm, column), and could be difficult to set up
or maneuver around in a paint booth all at the same time.  Also, you always
have the problem of overspray if everything's set up next to each other.

The thought of priming just a few components each day, taking the gun apart
and cleaning it out between each batch, doesn't sound very fun, especially
considering that the whole process will need to be repeated for primer coat
#2 (assuming you're using filler on the castings) and paint coats #1 and #2.
So, how do you get all of a particular coat done in one day?

Thanks,
Rick

Since you are willing to perhaps use a fiberglass cover or other
substitution, look in the photos section, last image, "Unisaw Motor
Cover" to see what we did with sheet metal and a welder.  This image
shows the cover substitution for the goose egg, and the sheet metal
fab at the bottom for the dust pickup.

Note that our cover includes a homemade clone of a vent a la Weber
Barbeque grill.  For ordinary work this is mostly closed to pull
maximum air from the blade opening.  For zero insert close work, we
open it up or else there is not enough air moving to transprt dust and
shavings.  A cheap and interesting feature.

Ours is not an 'authentic' goose egg restoration, but somewhere along
the line the saw motor was replaced and it is a larger frame - so an
original goose egg copy would not fit anyway.

The sawdust will build up in drifts in the base of the saw (mostly the
cabinet corners), but it is a self regulating feature.  The drift
assumes aerodynamic shape, and as soon as the buildup begins to
obstruct the opening on the side it is swept away.

This has probably been beat to death on this forum, and not too long
ago there was such a thread with many answers and suggestions.  I bet
the search feature will turn up some messages for you.

There may be no right answer.  At our Museum we use a SHELL product
designed for railway babbit lined journal bearings since we have it
available in bulk.  But it is not readily available in smaller
quantities.  So lots of substitutions are made by OWWMers desperate to
lubricate this common bearing (common on owwm anyway).  You get good
flow and lubrication with thinner flowing material but it can be a
nuisance to keep clean and under control.  Thicker, sticky products
solve that problem, and are probably fine for occasional hobby use.
But I wonder if they would provide the optimum flow, coating, and
lubrication in a production environment with hours of use.

Some of the babbit bearings on our machines are indeed worn and
'loose' so we oil 'em a lot, and put a drip pan or catcher on the
worst offenders.  A small price to pay to prolong the life of a machine.

Take your choice and watch the bearings for heating.

I have several roll-around floor floats and carts I use for this
purpose.  I put several components on a cart, shoot, move out, move
another in, shoot, and so on. I don't use a spray booth, but do use a
spray area.  After the componets are dry to the touch, I turn them
over, block them up, and hit the areas missed earlier.  I shoot
semi-exposed first so when I turn the components over, they will rest
on blocking in an area not as noticeable.  The blocking often mars the
paint.

Truth is, I never pay attention to the locking condition.  I've never
had a problem.  The only cracked casting I've run across was in a
school's shop where the saw in question was OEM with the school
(1960's)  In year 2000 it developed a crack.  From what, or why is
anybody's guess.  Nobody at the school is talking, that's for sure.

A lot of parts simply do not get sprayed when we restore a machine.
But for those skilled in the art and willing to try for a "Smithsonian
finish"  I bet a lot of parts are sprayed at the same time - outdoors
or in a large garage.  Most of them can be spread out on tarps, or
hung by wires from a pipe rack, A frame, or some such appurtenance.
No it is not a spray booth, and you did not hear me advocate not using
one - - -

On the machines we have done, the quality of the castings just does
not merit trying for a mirror finish, and that might not have been
typical for a work-a-day machine used industrially.

Heh... sorry for giving the wrong impression, guys.  When I said "make-shift
paint booth", I was referring to a bunch of plastic tarps hung from the
ceiling to quarter off an area of the shop and keep the overspray away from
the OWWM it wasn't intended for.  Maybe I'll even go "all-out" and add some
minimal amount of ventilation, although that certainly cuts down on the fun
factor [1].  ;-)

The trick with sheet metal is plastic bead blasting.  It removes the paint
but does not abrade the underlying metal.

Maybe I'm a heathen but clean room and machinery painting are four words
never spoken together at the same time here.  Tarp down the garage and go at

Rick, You are using a 2 part finish which is why you have a time
concern? The Automotive 2 part that we use at times still has a 8 hour
use time after mixing and by using a pressure pot that is extended.
Use a lazy susan on the cart you are shooting on and then move to a

No it is not a spray booth, and you did not hear me advocate not using
one - - -




Maybe I'm a heathen but clean room and machinery painting are four words
never spoken together at the same time here.  Tarp down the garage and go at
it.  When you're done you can show all your friends the over spray on the
tarps and play "Identify The Part By It's Shadow".

I just picked one of these up after looking for years.  Anyone have a serial
number list so I can see when it was made?

Also, I looked on the website for manuals and didn't see any.  Anyone use
one of these?  I looked and Forrest still makes an 8" blade so that isn't a
problem.

I haven't even cleaned off the dirt but it has a very old Craftsman motor
but don't know what works and what doesn't, but for $20 I wasn't going to
pass it up.

I am stuck down here for a week and am free during the day.  Wouldn't
mind checking out a shop in trade for a few beers!  Or, is there anyplace
worth checking out?

I moved my 1965 Uni assembled, in the back of a pickup, alone.  Had
help loading it, but had to move everything around on the way home to
accommodate another piece of 'arn - ain't that always the way!
Decided to put the Uni on its head (table to reduce top-heaviness).
Turned out, it made it easier to unload - by myself.  just be careful
and use some common sense - these aren't Fabrege eggs.
