Does anyone have a Sealey SM 64 bandsaw? Is this a good secondhand machine to buy? What should I look for when viewing/buying? What is it worth? I would be grateful for any experience and advice, please.

Thanks Tom, Yes there is a lip on 2 of the wheels and I think it could work without adhesive.

Thank you Ttrees. This was most helpful and informative

Thank you Sachakins, Yes I have seen this and several others, most helpful. My question is for a suggestion as to what adhesive to use. The tyres came from the US but the contact adhesive they use is not available in the UK. I do not anticipate any difficulties in getting the tyres onto the...

My Willow bandsaw is in general good order and I am about to fit new polurethane tyres to the 3 wheels once the old rubber is cleaned off. I would appreciate advice on what kind of adhesive to use and the best method of fitting the new tyres with the adhesive bond. The tyres will be a good...

I have a recent Bosch compound mitre saw which works well and is accurate and easy to set. Is the Bosch GTS range table saw of a similar quality? It has been said that the fence is difficult to adjust or set accurately. Do any of you have experience with this?

MARK.B., post: 1571322, member: 14863 It may help giving more relevant advice on a table saw if you let us know the size of your workshop ,some great saws out there both big and small but pointless giving advice on a larger saw if you only have a small area to work in, one with a sliding table...

I am looking foradvice on which table saw to get for my workshop. The work is general purpose modelmaking and joinery where accuracy is of some importance. I am looking for a saw that is easy and quick to set for accurate cutting of joints aswell as general sizing of materials.

The demise of some sectors of industry can not be blamed on engineering or design. Instead it was the mangement of many companies who failed to apply and reward the brilliant engineers and designers it already had. They also failed to attract the brilliant engineering graduates from our...

Here are further photos of the arms and fittings: I hope this is helpful. Best Regards, Dagfinn

Hi Duarte, Here is the photo of the brass con rod:

Duarte, Here is some information to get you going: The wooden arms seem to be a close grained pine or cedar. The measurements are: Length 21 5/8" 549mm, thickness 5/8" 16mm, width tapers from 1 13/16" 46mm to 13/16" 20.5mm. The blade fittings at the end of the arms appear to be indentical to...

Hello Duarte, Your english is great and so is your saw! I have located the wooden arms and the parts that go with it. I will get some photographs of these for you. Please let me know what dimensions you need. Im also making a set of arms, the originals appear to be a good quality pine or...

Here is the green "Imperial" as assembled earlier today. This is virtually identical to the blue one shown in my first post. Could these be prototypes for the A1 at a time when the Imperial bases were still available? They are both essentially an imperial base with an A1 saw head, however the...

Apologies, that should have read: The flat is 3/16" wide!

Here is a photograph from the other machine which is identical to the one in the first posting. This one however has been badly painted green, which is definitely not original. The castings are of a very high quality, balancing finish, strength and stiffness with light weignt. The foundry that...

Thank you Scrimper for the interesting story about these great tools. I dont recall seeing any black finish under the blue but I will check it out with the actual saw and report back. This will not be until the middle of May though. The axle protruding from the small pulley was, I think...

Hi Rhyolith, Thanks for your comments. I believe this example may be a bit of a hybrid model when Hobbies were transferring production over from the Imperial model but still had imperial model bases to use with a newer design saw head. Have anyone out there got a more informed view on this...
