Re: buffalo hvmbs-4.2 (1982)
I picked up a 1981 central machinery saw. I have the same issue as Andy with the bearings seem to large. Mine are same size as Andy has 12x32x10. They have a bushing in 2 of bearings and the other 2

Re: buffalo hvmbs-4.2 (1982)
Hi Andy There are a few different sizes used, but for a 1982 saw they¡¯re likely to be 6200 bearings (10mm ID x 30mmOD x 9mmwide). Whatever they will be metric bearings, not US imperial size. Get the

buffalo hvmbs-4.2 (1982)
I picked up this saw the other day for $40. runs fine, brass gear and worm gear look great, though was low on oil. The major issue i have is that the guide bearings had been replaced. Currently the

Re: Does anyone USE this forum anymore?
Also just lurking here (from Oz). I got my BS about a 1/2year ago, came with one broken wheel and motor mount and the brass cog wheel had some damage. So the first thing I did was to take it apart -

Re: Does anyone USE this forum anymore?
I have had a 4 x 6 Jet for the past 3 years, bought it lightly used. Looks just like the HF one when I go to the store. I like it a lot, but have spent hours performing the mods that other have done

Re: Does anyone USE this forum anymore?
Unfortunately in today's disposable life style when its all said and done, its cheaper to buy a cheaper new saw (ie HF) than spend money for parts and time for repairs. I just replaced the bar and

Re: Does anyone USE this forum anymore?

Re: Does anyone USE this forum anymore?
I love my saw and often wonder how I got along without it.? I am learning to weld and do a tiny bit of machining, hence the saw.? I figure since I am learning more than anything else, I don't have a

I am on a number of metalworking groups like this, in my case this includes groups for benchtop mini-mills and mini-lathes and so forth. Many groups will go quiet until somebody asks a question, and

Re: Does anyone USE this forum anymore?
Picked a saw up cheap a few weeks back. A new blade and some fresh oil and its been great. Has been cutting square. Added a small guard to stop swarf going down inside the guarding under the bottom

This used to be a pretty active forum. There are many good threads that I have gleaned a lot of useful information from. I'm no longer active on this forum nor in using my bandsaw. :-(

Re: Oil the blades while cutting?
For intermittent lubrication with an acid brush or hand sprayer, I minimize the mess by placing a 5 gallon plastic bucket under the vise. It catches drips and also the cutoff pieces. Personally, I

Re: Oil the blades while cutting?
Yeah I think the main resistance to using lube is the mess that it creates. I don't have any extra guarding or catch trays but one of the nice things about the scrapers is that the mess all drips off

Re: Oil the blades while cutting? [1 Attachment]
I always cut with a lubricant dripped on every few minutes. So far no tracking problems that I can attribute to swarf build up. I¡¯m actually surprised that people would cut steel without a lubricant
