YUP failed yet again on machineing the shaft,on the last bearing seat does any one know if i can use a brass or copper bush? as this will let me know if i can build saw or go and get another bit of steel.

sorry, Billyd, i don't know nothing about bearings, but my gut reaction would be steel.
copper and brass is like soft, like sodalite and jade on the MOH. metal is new to me tho, so i don't know squat.
i'm a yuppie know-nothing, just ask around.

billyd you can prob use a brass or bronze bushing just hit it with some oil now and then should last awile,, this way you can get started cuttin and keep lookin around for a piece of steel --- if your just useing it to take up space on the arbor so the bearing will fit on the shaft it will be fine because the bearing will do all the work that will just be a spacer

Made the new shaft but then bent it putting threads on it never shocked me one bit ,so pal got me steel from his work and back to lathe did next shaft broke 2 thread dies(by being stupid )bent that one to. Made shaft for both saws then took them to old work place someone will do it on sat so heres hopeing i didnot bend them when machining them if this fail's will have to get cheap tile saw  billyd |
