I got this little 9" Grizzly GO803Z bandsaw at a steam show auction a week ago. I bought it really cheap as it didnt include the table. So, I made a table & put a couple of supports on the back side, they are light weight but strong. it runs surprisingly well & I'm very pleased with it. I like the quick release blade tensioner & the steel access doors, the latches work quite well

So enjoyable just knowing how much your enjoying retirement Bruce.
When I'm in my workshop, steam room etc etc I truly am
"The proverbial pig in poo". (That's Aussie for extremely happy, just in case that doesn't translate too well
).

thanks Jim, my shop is my retreat & "happy place" as you said, I turn the radio on & "tinker" (as my wife calls) for hours.

Here Stateside, the usual phrasing is "Happy as a Pig in Mud", but we get your meaning just fine and I think many of us share that same sentiment!
Love that little bandsaw Bruce, I suspect that it will prove very useful for you!!!
Hi folks
I had the need for a spider for the rear of my PM1228 lathe. I used a 4" wood lathe chuck, bored out the thread to 1 5/16" ID, threaded the snout & threaded the lathe bore to accept this unit. I had to make an adapter to move the spider chuck out from the gear door.

Whens that date from around Nick? Super cool!
That is a pretty scary toy for a young child ..... just the sort of thing I would have loved to have had back in the day!
Very educational .... every time you bleed you learn something new!!! ;c)

Another stellar addition to your fine PM lathe there Bruce.
You'll have that puppy buffed out to perfection before you are done, no doubt about it!!!

I believe 1930’s/40’s, most complete example I’ve seen for sale

Again...super cool!
I’m scared to see what they’ll charge me for shipping… cast base and I think it’s 29-3/4” long…
