How to date Hyco machinery

[bunya pine]

There was one for sale on ebay a couple of years ago that the seller had restored with a decent stand, new paint and bearings that went for around $300. I have some low res photos from that ad but I'm having trouble uploading them from photobucket to this site. If you send me your email address via a PM I can send them to you as attachments.
This was part of the blurb from that ad...

• 1/3 hp GMF Cadet electric motor.
• New Stand with 4 locking castors.
• Emergency power off switch.
• Disc diameter 255 mm.
• Fine linisher belt tracking adjustment.
• Tilting cast Iron table for use with disc.
• 3 spare linisher belts.
• 1 spare abrasive disc.

The tool gods have been good to me! I'm getting really hyco ( bad pun) thinking about it! [emoji39]

I also picked up a hyco lathe today as well, just missed out on a hyco jointer[emoji17] ! How hyco can one go?

I just need a hyco pedestal drill and jointer the I basically have one of everything!

Thanks for the info!

That's a nice little sander Stew. Would love to have one of those in the shed.

Very Interesting.
I just purchased a Hyco Products 24" Csroll Saw.
The number on mine is JS 8

Did anybody manage to date these machines,
I would love to know how old it is.

please share some photos! Do have a stand with yours? I’m very keen to see what yours is like. Mine just got a second undercoat today so it’s in a 100 bits at the moment.

Hi. Have been a long time lurker here. I have a Hyco Table saw in great condition that I want to sell if you are interested. It has ext wings on both sides. I am in Tugun Gold Coast. Prob best to call or text. 0407112645. Thanks

That set up looks awesome, I will definitely be looking for one. Is that an original hyco fence or another one that you have fitted?

Cheers

that's a nice Hyco ! Perfect for someone with a small shed and not much room. If anyone buys it, I have the same one with the original splitter/riving knife and original blade guard. I can provide details photos and drawings so you can get them made up? Could even go to my local foundry and get the guard cast in aluminum (its been done before ).

Cheers

Hi Gaza. Apologies for taking so long. Big job (for me anyway) just finished. I will send photos when I work out how. Computer gumby here.

Hey Goatie... can you share some pics?

[fireman]

Thanks Stew. I don't use it anywhere near as much as I thought I would, that"s why I am selling it. Being an old fitter and not a proper woodworker, I actually enjoyed the fixing up phase.

Hi Gaza58. Ok , had to ask my daughter. The dolly is quite solid and has two lockable castors. Thanks. 20200728_141524.jpg20200728_142318.jpg20200728_142133.jpg20200728_141753.jpg
