Hi all, First of all, Apologies for not getting back sooner. I went with the Ebay ones that misterfish recommended as they were exactly the same. What a bargin! Thanks all for your help. Creeky

Thanks for the quick reply guys, Its a Startrite 351 bought off ebay. Do you think I should have a moan at the seller? AS he did'nt mention any damage to the wheels. Or should I expect wear from a machine this sort of age? I'll have a search about for more info on this forum. Is it possible to...

Hi all, I am after some advice, I have just bought a Startrite bandsaw from ebay and am in the middle of giving it a clean up. the top wheel tyre looks a bit worn, This maybe due to where the teeth run on the tyre as where the blade runs it is smooth. Can you guys have a look at the picture and...

Thanks Tenko, Just one more question: Steve (or anyone else that has and old meddings, startrite): Do you know whats involved in removing the head and foot from the drill? Are they just bolted to the pillar? Thanks

Steve, I must apologize, as I completely missed your post for some reason. I agree with your opinion, It would be best if I took that root, as I have done the same with the Mellor Lathe I purchased a few months ago. Trouble is most of the good machines have 3 phase, which I do not. I could...

Thanks for the reply, when have you had problems with the power? I take it you were drilling big holes? Or does it just jam if I were to abuse it :) Thanks again Dan

Hi all!, Right, be gentle - first post..... As Xmas has past I thought I would get a new pillar drill as my bench press is an very cheap one and jams every time I drill a hole! I have not got much of a budget £150-£170 max. I understand this will not get the best quality but really...
