Re: Sawblade.com
Well....since I now am unsure....that is a GREAT question. I am not the smartest guy in the room, but doesn't it only go on one way? (Can't figure out without looking at it how to put it on any

Re: Sawblade.com
Not to be a smarta$$ here but is it possible you have the blade running backwards?

When it was time to replace my lennox blade, I thought I would give this company a try. I've seen them advertise in some of the shows I watch and like their story. (Made in USA.) Anyway, I ordered

Re: Bainbridge blade guides
Well JV, you got a heck of a chuckle out of me. Thanks! I like that thermometer. This approach implies paint after the bearing installation. That's opposite of my current approach. I have to ask, why

Re: Bainbridge blade guides
Been thinking Darren and with the mass of aluminium in your gearbox casting you'd be better off with a propane torch than a heat gun. It should be sizzling hot when you spit on it. That plus freezing

Re: Hydraulic piston replacement options?
Be much easier to rebuild your cylinder than get a replacement which would have to be identical in length, both extended and compressed, for it to fit your standard mounts. I'm trying to figure what

Re: Hydraulic piston replacement options?
Generally speaking, if you can get the cylinder apart, you should be able to rebuild it if they used standard seals and didn¡¯t make them themselves. Robert Downs Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2018

Re: Bainbridge blade guides
If the housing is aluminum, you can warm it with a heat gun. The thermal expansion will reduce the pressure required. Lubricate the bore and the bearing with assembly grease (Lubriplate 105) or oil.

Re: Hydraulic piston replacement options?
You have any pictures? No idea what Hormier used for their cylinder, but I assume it¡¯s the same as other China built and rebranded saws. If the cylinder is like my grizzly saw, also made in China,

Hydraulic piston replacement options?
Hi! I have a Homier 4x6 bandsaw, model MBS46/03111. My hydraulic piston leaks (and might have air inside?) allowing the blade to drop down in little jerks rather than a smooth continuous slow motion.

Re: Bainbridge blade guides
Hey Darren, I would use Lubriplate 105 to assemble. Any auto parts store has it. It¡¯s what is used to assemble engines. Gives you good lubrication before the oil gets into everything it needs to,

Re: Bainbridge blade guides
Well, the thrust bearings came in and they are identical, as near as I can tell. I'm taking all of next week off and plan to spend a lot of that time in the garage. If the weather cooperates, I'll be

I know that some of the old DoAll band saws used washers in the gear boxes. Washers, thrust washers, spacers, name ¡®em what you like¡­.they had ¡®em. I don¡¯t remember if they were bronze or

Re: Bainbridge blade guides
JV, I hope your travels went smoothly and we're productive/enjoyable. There are VERY few images of this type of saw on the internet. Fewer of the gear box. However, I did find one that showed at least

Sorry I'm late on this conversation but I've been travelling and only just got my phone to where it can reply to a thread. I'm at a loss to see why your gearbox would have thrust bearings in those
