New Line shaft workshop
« on: May 09, 2020, 07:53:05 pm »
Hi Guys,
I thought I would share one of my current projects.
A few more large pulleys to fit and some new paint on the old Jensen tools but it's getting there.

I see you also have the drill press functioning off the bottom stud (as designed) I am currently getting ready to do that myself....I would love to know how you proceeded with that. your stanchions are lovely & very elegant. I noticed you also put a grinding wheel on one of the table saws...I have yet to be able to get the saw blade off of the table saw , would be interested in how you did that as well, Very well done Bill & an outstanding job thus far, cant wait to see everything painted up slick & the finished Jensen #200

Thank you all for the kind comments.
With all that is going on these days I find myself taking sanctuary in my workshop more often. :)

Bruce this is how I modified the Drill press, I feel a little bad about modifying it as there is not an unlimited supply.

I cut this shaft off leaving just a nub, then filed it flat.

Next I found a piece of Brass tubing that was a nice fit over the nub, and  transfer punch that fit the tubing.

Whapped it with the hammer.

and proceeded to drill and tap it.

I turned a double pulley, drilled and bored it to accommodate a shoulder screw.

I really like the narrow/longer format that you've created here. Looks far more "authentic" and would tuck into a workshop building far better than the Jensen original.

Here is the pulley and screw.

As far as removing the blade from the saw goes, I struggled with that for a while.
I was afraid of breaking the saw if I pried too much, it can be done but my advice is to cut the shaft here, between the pillow block and the brass spacer, the shaft does not go into the other pillow block so the blade and short bit of shaft will drop out and you can remove the the longer section of shaft from the left

The shaft is easily replaced with a new length of 1/8" rod or piano wire.

Thanks Daniel, I can't take any credit for the layout though.
