    Working with Ductile Iron - Making Adapter Flanges: Drilling/Tapping and 3" hole boring.

    I figure I'll have a few days in labor to make these. This isn't my primary source of income and I often have plenty of free time. My small collection of machine tools are more to assist with my other interests and hobbies. I realize they're not ideal for this project. I can get it done but am...

    Working with Ductile Iron - Making Adapter Flanges: Drilling/Tapping and 3" hole boring.

    I don't think Blanchard grinding is an option if I want to keep this within budget. Sure would be nice though. I was going to have the OD and ID waterjetted out of 2" hot rolled but it really drives up the cost. These adapter flanges arent common but there is a supplier; unfortunately they're...

    Working with Ductile Iron - Making Adapter Flanges: Drilling/Tapping and 3" hole boring.

    Excellent information. You are correct on the OD being available to turn if chucking by the ID. These are to convert DI water fitting. The finish is terrible in very way with regards to the mating parts so appearance is not critical but wouldn't take any time to skim the scale off if already...

    Working with Ductile Iron - Making Adapter Flanges: Drilling/Tapping and 3" hole boring.

    I am needing to create 10 adapter flanges from ductile Iron (65-45-12 Dura-Bar) I don't deal with cast or ductile often and am limited to my Bridgeport and my 10" Clausing with a 6" 3-Jaw chuck. First question is the surface finish in raw form. I do not plan (or have the capacity) to turn the...

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    Thanks for the pics. Yeah, I'm pretty sure 2HP is a bit much for the 1/4" coolant line. I thought the 184 would be correct but wanted confirmation. Thank you

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    OK, I'm getting closer to paint. But I still have a few questions regarding coolant pump HP and Rpm, currently there's a 2hp 3450rpm motor on the pump. The saw motor is a Baldor 5HP 3450 rpm face mount w/shop made mounting bracket. I know these motors are replacements and I was hoping to find...

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    Thanks for those pictures. Today I drug the bare frame out and power washed nook and cranny. Used purple degreaser and a scotchbrite/steel brush to degreaser. I removed the fin in question and tried to tune up the piano hinges/door alignment. I have a shear and finger brake to make another 16g...

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    Excellent. That should get me headed the right direction with the fabricated replacement piece. If you happen to get a few more pictures I would be appreciative but no big deal. I'm anxious to get the frame painted so I can start getting the pieces back together. Their taking up all my space.

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    I don't need coolant and will likely not run it. The impeller looks good and the motor must have been replaced at some point. It's currently a 2hp single phase unit. I'm just a hobbiest with limited space. I'm trying to get all the equipment I've wanted when good deals come along. I paid $250...

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    Greg, thanks for the requested picture. I think the door is a bit different than mine as I don't believe yours is equipped with coolant capability. Tom, your saw appears to be the exact configuration as mine. Any chance of a shot of the inside of that door? Nice work on the restores. All...

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    Sorry, it crossed my mind that the pictures might be too tight to get a good idea of the area in question. This saw is equipped with hydraulic power feed and coolant.

    Doall 1612-3 - help confirm sheetmetal detail in lower band access door.

    Hello, I'm in about done tearing down this machine for paint. I want all the metalwork correct since this saw is getting the full treatment. Does anybody know if this piece is supposed to be angled as seen in the picture? It's been damaged over the years. The purpose looks to deflect/direct...

    DoAll 1612-3 band wheel tires. No tires, was mine equipped originally?

    Thanks for the suggestions and help here. I did call DoAll initially. They said yhat it needed tires and gave me the part number and the price (over $400 each!) I knew their prices were high but wow... Rubber bands. I know there are cheaper replacement tire alternatives. Now that I have some...

    DoAll 1612-3 band wheel tires. No tires, was mine equipped originally?

    Here are the wheels in question. One area of the drive wheel has some pretty serious wear which I find strange. You can see the taper that has developed on the outer edge of the wheel. Is there a risk in cleaning these up? My little Clausing doesn't have the swing to turn these 16" wheels so I...

    DoAll 1612-3 band wheel tires. No tires, was mine equipped originally?

    Great, I am new to bandsaws altogether but have wanted a DoAll for years. This one is in great shape mechanically. I will get some pictures posted tomorrow of the wheels. The wheels contact area has 4 raised ridges around the contact area. It would make sense that these accommodate the...
