Updated picture of Delta Unisaw rehab.
Vibart2 | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
Here it is in all of it resplendent glory so far.
I purchased the motor & pulley yesterday. Today I worked on the saw a little. I had to enlarge to hole on the right side to accommodate the motor because it sticks out the side a little further & will hang down further when the blade is tilted.
I also changed my trim color I just had to brighten it up some.
I’ll be covering the hole where the switch was because I’ll mount the switch on the bottom side of the fence guide rail on the left side of the saw. This will allow for standing on the left to guide wide material through the saw & still be able to turn the saw on & off.
So here is a picture of how far we’ve progressed with the saw rehab.
I still need to do a lot of work. View Image

Other people can talk about how to expand the destiny of mankind. I just want to talk about how to fix a motorcycle. I think that what I have to say has more lasting value. --Robert M. Pirsig
serious about working on motorcycles or just part of vthe quote
The quote is from the book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." The book says a lot about a motorcycle but has nothing to do with motorcycle maintenance. My take on the book was that it is about maintenance of one's self. (It was required reading for a class I took.)

Having had a high school friend (who likely would have been valedictorian of my class) suffer a disabling brain injury in a motorcycle accident, I decided 25 years ago that I don't like motorcycles. (OTOH, I'm a pretty serious bicyclist who relishes 50mph + downhills while wearing Lycra and a styrofoam helmet. Go figure.)
The quote is one that I liked from Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It articulates my belief that we can do the most good in this world by recognizing where our talents lay and using them to the fullest. It also gets me out of discussing politcs. <G>

****************Andy, speaking (actually typing badly - vbeg) as a guy who works in a hospital, you should consider changing your biking attire if you're doing 50mph.Something like leather and a motor cross rated helmet, eh? Trust me, you really don't want to make my (or one of my associates) acquaintance professionally. It ain't a lot of fun.Yes, I know the helmet won't help spinal injuries. What it will do is keep the brain protected. We describe the effect as "shaken Jello". It's a lot prettier with Jello than brains.Have a good one, and for cryin' out loud, get some decent stuff to bike in.For the record, the "proper" sig reads: Leon W. Jester, Jr, RT-R, AAS.Leon Jester
Thanks for the concern, but it's kinda hard to pedal in leather. And the truth is that most of the time, I'm a very safe cyclist who mainly rides a lot closer to 15 than 50. I only hit 50 a couple of times a year on long, straight downhills with good pavement and no cross traffic.

Go for a good helmet anyhow, eh?Sudden stops at 15mph will still jar the contents of the old brainbox in a very unpleasant manner.Be safe.Leon Jester
I never ride without one. (OK, once in a while, when I'm climbing a long hill at 5 mph and it's 90 degrees, I'll take it off)The comment about foam might have misled you - All cycling helmets that I'm aware of have rigid foam padding and an engineered plastic shell. I never could understand why anyone would ride lidless. BTW, helmets such as those used for cycling and rock climbing should be replaced after any impact, and every few years anyway because of UV degradation.

Interesting commentary on helmets .... glad to stumble upon your cycling interest. We'll have to communicate outside this forum. Over 45 years of fine furniture making (hobby) and longer as an avid cyclist ... who also enjoys the occasional 55mph+ downhills. (There's a few runs in Colorado that offer 70 mph+) Like you, the attire is Lycra and ALWAYS, a microshell foam helmet ... but don't remove it .... a friend was clipped into his roadbike, spinning away on a trackstand in his garage and fell over onto his nearby lawnmower, piercing the temple of his helmet with a deck height adjustment lever. Thus we must observe: Forward speed is not a factor.
OOPS! Sorry this is not a cycling forum! Drop me a note ... and if you get down Texas way let's ride.
