I can tell you where to get the components but you'll need a metalworking lathe to put them together......

In case it's of interest, this was my solution to fitting castors. The jacks use RH and LH 20mm trapezoidal thread.

Julian, My AGS is a bit younger than your later one and has the same guide system for rise and fall movement. The earlier system on your 50s saw has a proper gib strip adjustment. The later system uses single point brass stud and locknut to adjust the fit. I've no experience of a machine with...

Hover mode achieved.

Just tilted it onto the opposite side, to fit the other two castors....

Thanks Noel. I'll check that out too.

I plan to use wedges. Locking castors need a much greater swing radius than the space allows. Simon suggested using hockey pucks which I think is a great idea. I'll taper one face and can then just kick them under the skirt to stop movement.

I trued up the wheels on my Wadkin bandsaw, which was a similar age, and I never had to touch them again. So, it's really down to how successfully I can repair the missing pieces. Even there, I think it would probably perform just fine, for the purpose I have in mind, without any repairs - just...

More than £300.00 Plus I'd have to get them up there.... and back..... safely.... I have experience of truing these kind of tyres because I did it to my Wadkin MZF bandsaw, years ago. It's just the filling that is a new skill. It's always good to get different perspectives. That's why I post...

Thanks a lot Pete, I did get a quote from Leakes before re. re-vulcanising. I guess, because of my professional background, I always like to try the repair route first. After all, nothing is lost, apart from the time, if it doesn't work out. The other options are still there. The other factor...

That's a good point. The hardness does also vary quite a bit at different places. It's hardest at the edge, up to 85 A. Where it's worn the most, in the centre, some parts are down to 55 A. Anyway, I have to repair it in its present state...

LOL! Got to have some figures when I ring up the technical departments!

Need to do some repairs to the tyres. There are some chunks missing..... According to my newly acquired durometer, the tyres register around 70 on the Shore A scale. That's a good reference to have for choosing the filler material.....

If you want a minimalist solution, you can get a set of these castors and drill two holes in each of the two "feet". https://www.castors-online.co.uk/acatal ... ml#SID=219 A few washers will give extra clearance, if needed. You'll need some way to lock the machine in position, of course. I'm...

Congratulations on the bandsaw and good job on your additions to it. I knocked up this pressure roller gizmo from parts lying around my workshop. I find it quite useful when re-sawing on the bandsaw. I mount it to apply pressure at the point just before the teeth of the blade. If I find a...

I took the cutterblock motor out. It's definitely 400V WYE connection only, without opening up the case... I've decided to buy a new motor so as to increase the power from 2.2kW to 3kW. I can do this in the same frame size (slight increase in length), so no problems with the mounting or fit...

Just received the motor I ordered. It had to be this one :-)
