Nice!!! I like the lavender and brecci combo, very unusual. Is this self-collected?

So did the flange just press off the shaft?
I have a NOS one of these, are these arbors that valuable? been thinking of using it for a not so serious project but....
I have seen the sell for $40- $100. I think they are more valuable to someone restoring/repairing older equipment, or a lapidary equipment enthusiast like you and me. I have a box full of poly arbors, all the wrong size for what I am looking for. LOL I would like to locate three like this one but with a 5/8-11 thread to make a sphere machine like the old HP sphere machines.

They probably used diesel fuel for the lubricant, I would try a degreaser like simple green. Or, some Dawn soap in really hot water. Then place out in the sun to dry.

After looking at your pictures again, I would definitely press it from the pulley side so that you don't have to remove the flange at the end. Mine is completely torn apart, so it did not seem like it made a difference. :-) Is it ok to put a 2x4 against the pulley side and beat it out of the housing or should I try to find a machine shop that can press it out? Pretty sure I used the brute force method on my 14" but that does not make it right, lol Chuck Haha.... That is something I would do, it usually creates extra work filing down the arbor from the dings from hitting it too hard. Do you have a Harbor Freight near you? You could probably by a cheap press for less then taking it to a machine shop. Remember... They don't make these arbors no more, so don't ruin it.

It should not matter what side of the arbor you press it out from, the arbor shaft on the inside is 0.87" from bearing to bearing, it is milled down for the inner sleeve of the bearing and then milled down to 0.75 for pulley and blade. At least on one I have that is currently torn apart.

Looks like it was a nice little saw in its day, blade looked brand new. What a shame. I hope you are able to resurrect it.

That should be plenty of lubrication. You definitely want to try and smooth out the guide holes without removing too much materiel. Did you verify that the rails are not bent? When you had it apart, did you role them on a flat true surface. I am suspecting you have some burrs/dings on your rails.

I am not familiar with this exact saw model, I assume that it is an enclosed saw. What are you using for cutting fluid? Do you have enough in the saw that it is keeping everything lubricated? Something is clearly scaring the carriage slide points, did you try using a wire brush in a drill on the slide rails. This would help polish them without removing too much materiel.

Break out the oil and hope you turned it off fast enough when it smoked. Try and get the motor to turn freely with the belts off.

Sorry in advance for the long (true) story... Among other problems including broken ice maker water feed, we were having the same issue with our old fridge - drain clogged causing frozen flooding and having to break out the ice dam every few weeks. We put up with this for several years - even before we kicked our adult kids out and moved into the house - and as long as we could stand it. In early January of this year after a huge amount of research, we bought a new Samsung double door with bottom freezer that cost us just over $2000. Three weeks after taking delivery of it we noticed that the selection buttons and lights on the water/ice/crushed-ice dispenser had gone out. The dispenser still worked but to change between selections had to occur inside the fridge on the control panel thing. We contacted Samsung and they put us in touch with a local repair contractor. One week later, repairman came out and diagnosed it as a common problem with the Samsung fridges - wiring inside the door that contains the dispenser has broken inside the door and thus the whole door needed to be replaced. Another week later, the repairman returns with a new left door and proceeded to install it. When he was finished and asking for a sign off my wife noticed a small ripple in the bottom right corner of the door as if it had been banged on something, plus the top of the new door was not aligned good with the right door. The dispenser and lights are working fine. Anyway, she told him no way in hell we were approving the dented door and so off he went. Samsung calls a few days later checking on the status and were also told no way no how. One week later repairman returns with the next new left door, brings it into the house and announces that it is also dented and asking if he should install it. Again, no way Jose, we aren't taking it. Samsung calls again wanting to close it out, nope. Another week goes by and we got another call from Samsung saying that they were closing the case and offering us several options including a full refund. In order to complete the refund transaction we needed to agree that we would unplug the fridge and cut the power cord and send them a photo of the cut cord. We also had to agree to peel off and send them the s/n label and then dispose of the fridge in the proper manner. After almost full compliance, we got a check for our full purchase price. The search for a replacement fridge is going very very slow. So let me guess.... You re-wired it up and you are still using it.
