This is the blade flange that I bent a bit whilst trying to remove it. I was going to remove the brazing and try and weld it straight but since my welding is pants and the braze was still sound I skimmed it on the lathe. When its installed I will finish it off in place.
The reason it was so difficult in removing was because its really snug. I measured the difference in the hole to the spindle and it was 0.3mm. To get it back on it needed some heat and a decent wack with a big hammer.
I have started putting it back together.
For the blade guard I was wanting to do something different, shiny with the wadkin in red. I spent ages with the dremmel cleaning up inside the lettering but it looks naff compared to the rest of it. Its really hard to get a good finish in between the letters. If any one has a idea?

The old saw looks fantastic. Like seeing how you dealt with some of the problems you encountered during the restoration. Your journey is a good read, thanks for posting.

No Photos
<br>I'm not getting the pictures. Even the pictures in previous posts have gone - the last picture showing is the first photo of your post on 5th October. And it's the same on the Canadian & UK forums.<br><br>Is it just this work computer, or are others having the same difficulty?<br><br>Cheers, Vann.<br type="_moz">
Edit: Yup, looks like it might be this computer.
Edit (from another computer): Yes it was definitely a problem with that computer. Strange how it blanked out the same photos on three different woodworking sitesGatherer of rustyplanestools...

I thought I'd take the liberty of linking to Raymond's thread on his CQ saw...

Unfortunately not, just the chuck that's in it and I've got a couple of the hold downs which are pretty cool. They normally have a 2hp motor but you could ask for 3 or 4 this one has the 4hp. I might have a source for some tooling
