Replacement spring for Harbor Freight saw
开云体育Have you tried Grizzly? ? Part number for their spring is P0622147 for their G0622 saw. Or look at the Shop Fox, which Grizzly carries, spring part number X1715047, which is described as 22 x 4.5 x 215 extension spring….which gives away everything but the spring rate to look around for one. ?

Hi Dave?
Do you need another spring because an eye broke off the end? You can thread a bit of aluminium (or any other metal) to screw into the inside of the broken end of the spring.? It has a diameter and pitch you can measure.? Use a round-nose lathe bit same diameter as the spring, not a vee-bit.? If you choose a pitch the same or a wee bit bigger it will thread in nicely.? Loctite to hold it in place if it? turns out a bit loose, otherwise it will probably be impossible to remove.? Tap the end M6 and thread&Loctite? in the tensioning adjustment rod.? Cut off the hook on the tensioning adjustment rod (or use a bit of allthread) and your done - jv? |

开云体育Well, I figured Grizz was the best chance, but there are others. There is also Jet, part number HVBS462-047 for their spring. Lot of Jet dealers out there. I’d contact Jet directly. And Northern Tool, Item 122 on their 49464 band saw. They don’t have part numbers, similar to Horror Freight. ? Busy Bee Tools, (Canada) Rikon model 15400 band saw, the spring is P15-400-127 Even Home Depot sells 4 x 6’s, but they are not much on service parts. ? Bill ? From: 4x6bandsaw@...

开云体育There are also some other part numbers, for the same spring, for older Jet saws. The Jet saws used to be made by Rong Fu, but that’s been a while ago. You may get some other part numbers on ereplacementparts.com. They show a couple different ones on their site, but are 10-15 days out. ? Have you considered forgetting the spring, and installing a hydraulic downfeed? It’s a far superior set up. Lots of info on home brew cylinder installations, on this site, youtube, and other places. I cheated, and bought a Grizzly 5 x 6 saw that came with one. One of the reasons I bought a Grizzly! ? I would have thought someone here would have a spring laying around, after they converted their saw to hydraulic. Of maybe you can get someone to measure the spring rate on theirs, and pick one up from Newcomb or Century, or maybe Lee. ? Bill ? From: 4x6bandsaw@... [mailto:4x6bandsaw@...]

Two answers for you:
(1) I've been converting these bandsaws (from various manufacturers/dealers) to a very inexpensive hydraulic downfeed for a couple years now. ?All the springs seem to be nearly the same. ?I have a couple of them that I kept. ?If you want one, email me: hman underscore mit at cox dot net. ?You can have one for the cost of postage (small flat rate box is about $7.50) (2) Check out the November/December 2018 and January/February 2019 issues of The Home Shop Machinist for my article on how to build your own hydraulic downfeed for about $25-50. - John Herrmann |
