@Gerald, I owe you an update on my lathe since you were kind enough to help me over the phone. I think it was a year and a half ago. As a refresher, I was/am having an issue with my Jet 1442 lathe with a Reeves drive. If I shut it down at the highest speed, the hand wheel would turn just fine by hand, as it is supposed to do. If I shut it down at the slowest speed, the hand wheel is extremely stiff to turn. Very difficult to turn by hand. Now for the update. There is an industrial supply shop a few miles away from Wichita that does warranty work on Jet lathes. My lathe is way out of warranty, but I figured they would have the expertise to at least tell me what was wrong. I called them, and as it turned out, the repair expert was here in Wichita at the time. The shop called him, and he came to my house to look at the problem. Bottom line was that I have two bearings going out. However, he said that since the lathe was still running, his advice was to use it until I couldn't. The repair then would not be any more involved than if I had them fix it now, and I will have gotten that much more use out of it. Their repair rate is $65/hour, but after spending at least an hour looking at my lathe, and having to come across town to my house, he only charged me $25. So, until it comes to a squealing halt, I'm back in operation. He also advised me to change one of the bearings myself, since it was a simple job. The other one, not so much. Gerald, again, thanks for the time you spent helping me on this forum, and also on the phone.

I need some help, guys. With the passing of my mother earlier this year I, now, have total dominion over the garage space. This allowed me to do a little remodeling, rearranging, and creation of some much needed storage off of the floor. This created a lot of open usable floor space. So, I have moved my Delta 40-690 20" (DeWalt 788) from its home in the garden shed into the garage space to live with my other tools. Now, for the help. The saw was purchased second hand. I acquired it from a retired vet, who was selling everything and moving to Panama. He used it to scroll out service branch plaques. It is in excellent shape but I have no maintenance history on it. Although I have used it a lot, it needs some TLC and it could use a PM on the internals. There is an excellent tutorial on R&R of the bearing, bushing and lubrication of the essential points, that was published in 2014 by Gwinette Woodworkers. In the four part video there was a reference to a bushing parts list and associated bearing numbers. However, the published link for the information no longer exists. The bushing are no problem and were all ordered yesterday. However, the bearings are different story. They aren't listed in the parts breakdowns and since the Gwinette list no longer exists I have no means of ID ing the bearings short of tearing apart the saw. I don't what to do that until I have the parts on hand. Experience dictates, that, I don't leave pieces and parts lying around waiting for replacement parts...use your imagination on that... So, by any chance, do any of you have experience or bearing numbers? If I can ID the bearings I'll just go order them...I'd rather have and not need, than need and not have. Bill

Look at the link below please as I am going to see this lathe today. It doesn't look too bad and it's about what I have been looking for. I am thinking with the oil ports it most likely has sleeve bearings. Do you think I can still get bearings for it? If can get bearings for the lathe it might be worth getting. One big problem I could have is the lathe is in a basement and with neuropathy, in my feet and legs, it might be too much. Comments wanted and advice is welcome. https://nashville.craigslist.org/tls/d/antique-lathe-and-older-table/6706426342.html

Issues with my Craftsman 113. 27350 bandsaw......way to much shaking going on....drive wheel wobbles.....tore the thing down today.... Removed both the belt pulley and the lower wheel.. 2 wheels, only found one key stock....one for the belt pulley was MIA. Large snap ring holding the shaft in place on the belt side.. Metal cap swings down out of the way, once the shaft is out... (nice and cleaned up..) to get the shaft out, I had to remove these two bolts..which went right back in as soon as I could....hate losing parts. Shaft "looked" good when it came out, and the rust removed.. Bearings themselves are fine, it seems to be a problem with the shaft itself.. Mainly on the drive wheel side. Bearing will slide around a bit. Looking like a new shaft will be needed...I did find my snap ring pliers..finally.. Need to skinny the points down a tad, so they fit. Will take the shaft, bearings and all to the TSC Store, and see what they have handy. Bearing No. 3203 RS FAG..... Wondering IF I can find a washer that fits over the snap rings, and can be held in place with those two bolts. Maybe tighten things up a bit? IF I need a bandsaw for the next project..we have back-up.. That little 12" Craftsman 3-wheeler will do for the small stuff....has a 3/8" blade onboard. Would have to dig it out of the hole... And..NO, I am unable to just go out and buy a new/used bandsaw right now....not an option. Will just have to fix what I have.

I am looking for a set of guides that would be an upgrade from what I have now, which is just the stock roller guides for my Grizz 14" Ultimate Bandsaw. I have folks say they love the freeze blocks, and then there are some nice bearing guides too. My saw is this one at http://www.grizzly.com/products/The-Ultimate-14-Bandsaw/G0555?utm_campaign=zPage A 14" with riser block. Does anyone have any recommendations for a new guide set? Thanks! -
Anyone seen my Uni arbor? After listening to my 1947 Unisaw arbor go chirp, chirp, I decided to tear it down and replace the arbor bearings. Actually, it wasn't too hard to field dress it from the machine and the bearings came out pretty easily. After I got it apart, it felt like I had a couple of square balls in the rear bearing. When I was tearing it down, I could tell by the paint marks that this was the original set of bearings. I sure hope I can get 69 years out of the next set. The tear down also gave me an opportunity to clean the worm gears on the tilt and elevation. Now we wait on the bearings.
