Teardown of the Peerless electric motor for the Boice-Crane 2304 bandsaw. "It was running when we got it" was the phrase used. I think not. It was a good thing I decided to check this motor out. Seized bearing, shaft turning in the race, missing/damaged insulation, no connection to the starter brushes, etc... Even if it would have started it would have self distructed very quickly. Now, replace bearings, repair wiring and insulation issues, then figure out the starter circuit wiring for the brushes. But even before that I'll need to check the armature and the windings and hope the bearing fit on the armature is not destroyed from the bearing race spinning on it. #boisecrane #vintagebandsaw #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #oldschoolpowertools #oldpowertools #oldwoodworkingmachinery #oldwoodworkingtools #bandsaw #vintageelectricmotor #peerlessmotors #southernwoodworkers #georgiawoodworker #restoration #machineryrestoration #toolrestoration #electricmotorrestoration (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9BARevF-_s/?igshid=17qhpqk48d75l

Delta/Rockwell 30-C is fully operational! Leveled the table, squared up the blade to the table and fence, replaced the worn out fence, installed a new blade (well, almost new it is the Harbor Freight tryout from the Craftsman 10"), and made some test cuts. It cuts dead square and pulls thru the cut like it's not even trying. Ripped some 1 1/4" heart pine and it didn't even flinch! Even with only the 1 h.p. A.O. Smith motor this saw is strong! I'll try an shoot some video of it in action. #deltarockwell #deltamachinery #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #oldschoolpowertools #deltaradialarmsaw #radialarmsaw (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1nF3rmlKP-/?igshid=17yc2pqgr0gqt

So, instead of removing the blades from the Delta 654 jointer I did a little tune-up on them in place. They weren't chipped or dulled enough to warrant regrinding them. So I pulled out a small piece of oil-stone and went to work on them. After honing them back to a sharp edge I did a few test cuts. The results were quite impressive! Even with the squirrelly grain at its end this piece came out glass smooth! It's hard to beat good quality steel! #deltamilwaukee #delta37-595 #delta654jointer #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #oldschoolpowertools #deltacombomachine #woodworking #woodworker #sharpening #oilstone #jointerknives #razorsharp (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Cyw5YF993/?igshid=k5vi9tzctw7i

Some before and after of the table cleanups on the Delta/Milwaukee 1164 Combo machine. Cleaned the tables, checked for flatness, cleaned and lubricated all ways, screws, and adjustments. Then I checked and adjusted squareness and parallel on the saw and jointer. Made one small fence adjustment and she is back in business! The cast iron on these old machines is really high quality. Once cleaned and waxed, boards just glide right over the surface! #deltamilwaukee #oldschoolpowertools #vintagetablesaw #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #vi tagejointer #delta1164 #woodworking (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1AUxTaFSqm/?igshid=ohszh0dv14pz

Got the DeWalt 925 DLX tuned up and ready to make some sawdust! It needs a new blade and I've got one on order. The Craftsman Kromedge dado set I'm using needs sharpening really bad as well. But I used this saw to start milling up a bunch of 3/4" spruce for some noodle boards. It works great, after a slight adjustment it is dead on accurate and has plenty of power. I really love this saw! #dewaltradialarmsaw #dewalt925dlx #vintageradialarmsaw #vintagemachinery #dado #craftsmankromedge #craftsmantools #vintagewoodworkingtools #oldschoolpowertools (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0xI-HZBoT7/?igshid=1bk1uon5ugaz0
