Here's an innovative repair. Hadn't looked under the table of the bandsaw till today. Appears the zinc die cast quadrants that the table tilts on were broken at some time. How to fix a zinc die casting? Someone drilled through it, inserted nails, then soldered them to a steel backing plate and bolted it down. As crude as it looks, it functions and probably has lasted for decades. Im going to leave well enough alone till it lets go and look at making replacements then.

Wow, that looks awful. I don't think I'd be able to live with myself if I made such a repair...

It no doubt took longer, but if you ever saw the instructions... Take 1 and 1/2 inch piece of green wire and put between point 234 and 333. Do not solder yet. Or something really close to that. Last one I built was in the 60s.

Assembled, wired and ready for a metal cutting blade.

Looks great, Greg. What do you figure is the maximum thickness of steel you can cut, before the necessary pressure is just too much for your thumbs?
Or are you planning on some kind of a weighted pulley feed?

Haven't tried it yet Mike. Will weld up a blade for it tomorrow and give it a go. I have a vertical saw for heavy work, this one will probably only do small odd cuts.
