[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/london-hack-space/cSzrOD1RAYQ Update]: 19 Jul 2014 - Liam | |||
The donkey saw is out of service until some TLC can be drizzled over it. | |||
I've taken the lay shaft away for some attention and a clean up. | |||
The lay shaft had siezed. | |||
It needs a lock nut and a clean up. | |||
However, the main bearings in it are pretty shot. Thats why the belts were so tight, because thats holding it together. | |||
I will see if they are journal bearings and if something better can be gone, or it clean, fix the layshaft and put it back together. | |||
It is a very old donkey. | |||
Update: 20 Aug 2013 - Liam Lynch - cut and drilled new tensioner bar for the free end of the blade mounting. Fitted new blade and tested. Working OK. 5mm wall 50mm scaffold pole cut through in <20s! | Update: 20 Aug 2013 - Liam Lynch - cut and drilled new tensioner bar for the free end of the blade mounting.
