No Startrites were dual voltage, not even the American models Inverters will make your workshop seem like a haunted house You should be able to pick up a 1ph motor and DOL relatively cheap these days, just make sure the rpm is similar and has the same shaft diameter, it will be 5/8", 16mm or...

Do not oil the internal parts, everything that moves in there rotates on oillite bushes, if you lubricate anything in there it will quickly gum up with sawdust!

Those motors were made special for Startrite and there is no direct upgrade, although I do believe BC split into 2 companies, 1 of them I think can supply old imperial motors but they are not cheap and as someone mentioned you may have to drill the mounting flange Usually on 1ph machines the...

I can get my finger in there no problem, H&S are only concerned with the top guard, there's also an issue of there being 3 guards for 301 machines, and 3 for 351 & 352 machines, all slightly different lengths so the solution needs to be some sort of universal slide cover that can fit either all...

The 3 series machines never came with fully enclosed guards from the factory!

Thanks for the input much appreciated , I'm assuming this limits the tool post travel if there is a max mark on the original guard?

Keith you don't need to tell me, or MS, In my opinion if you are stupid enough to be around the back of the machine where the blade is exposed and putting your fingers in there you shouldn't be round the front cutting stuff either 352 School models had mechanical footbrakes that cut the machine...

They have contacted all the local schools with order histories but most of them have already been decommissioned, that's why they asked me to ask on this forum, I am retired now so have more time on my hands, I did subby work for them but they are a small operation with 3 staff, most the schools...

Thats pretty much what is happening, but the technicians are pushing back, my wife is a teacher in a state run school and private companies have squirmed their way into those aswell, especially when it comes to purchasing, they can only use approved suppliers, suppliers with ridiculous mark ups...

p.s I Because table saws dont have throats

Hi I was wondering if the forum could possibly help with something? Machine Spares who currently manufacture all the original Startrite spares have reached out to me looking for a solution to a problem that this forum could possibly help with! Has anyone local to Stourbridge/Brierley Hill or...

All the 352 fences are available but it depends on the model, as what fence you can have is subject to which table is on the machine.

I would be very interested in seeing these old brochures, those scans are excellent.

Well I did say 'stressing the capacity' Fair play, nice work

1ph 352's in good condition usually go for around a grand with all the accessories, bear in mind these are industrial bandsaws, not hobby machines, so you got a good deal there if its in good condition. There are about 4 different 352 machines though, and then a few minor variations, some have...

BB unfortunately that is an import badged tagged and shipped off the back of reputable brand name like so much British engineering.

I am thoroughly sick and tired of home made motor replacements. Usually they end up with a motor that really doesn't fit in all dimensions and conclude that the machine is worthless to people like me...... who then struggle to find a motor that actually works. Here here If you want/need 1ph...

Here here If you want/need 1ph buy 1ph

MOTORS - Machine Spares We sell the motors, original spec from original supplier (although a few name changes along the way), your rotary switch can be used on 3ph or 1ph, you just need to check you dont have an 4 step pulley which maybe metric

Screwfix and Toolstations business model is click and collect! infact the founder of SF sold out to B&Q and started Toolstation (cheeky), their stock is always spot on (loads better than Wickes and B&Q) and the prices are competitive because they need less floor space and staff. Nothing more...
