Help with blade/arbor positioning !
Heyya ! I got my hands on a used 113 model, its the 27520 variant. From the 50's it seems.
It was in decent shape all around, some stuff to replace aestetically, but for the functional parts i have a question.
I noticed it had a slight wobble at the blade, and ended being an arbor issue, soemthing about were the bearings seat over the arbor shaft. I took it to a lathe shop for them to check for straight, bearings and all. They did a rectification, adjusted my shaft pole as it had a decent wobble, and hey helped me install it back.
I dont know, is it too close to the inner cast iron ? Blade seems pretty close. Also, check the arbor pole, I think they installed it on the wrong side, as the Fenner belt rubs the side there and that isnt straight at all.
They also damaged a little my screw threads, so I was just thinking on ordering an arbor shaft somewhere, but I wanted to ask for this first. If someone could measure yours and tell me if it looks ok.
This was $400 here in my country, Guatemala. It seems freight and import taxes inflate price tremendously.
Thanks !
