Shop time with dad tonight we didn't tackle the  R8 collet wrack  cuz he wasn’t focused,  However  we did do a little exercise with measuring with a caliper. I  took a bushing drew a simple sketch  handied him the  bushing  . Showed him large diam small diam , inside diam, minor diameter. Shoulder  length and over all length.  I had  Joel measure  bushing and write corresponding sizes. than we moved on to take  the Band  saw apart . Well that's about it than he went to bed and i fig out  the new supports for mounting the new wheels . He took pics  and i found a  a short clip on camera …... got a love it kid is smart didn't know  camera makes short clips .

Do you think I should go all the way and strip it / paint it or lave it original color ? JMHO once I clean up machine surfaces, Kroil it , Grease it and power wash it its will look fine ?

Since I suck at painting, my vote is for keeping the hard-earned patina.   Smiley-dancenana

Made  my decision last night after taken her apart ..... she is getting the  RR treatment
Here is my parts list to fix er up . Cost me 9 bucks for the wheels, 7 something for  the paint.  

  L+R inside/ outside Wheel shaft supports
 have bushings and hardware
made a SS  handle and inside/outside / support .
Alum  hand wheel SS Crank  for vise (laying around)

Paint im goin with  Gona go with RUST-OLEUM  Forged Hammered Grey.   As far as paint couldn't find anything close to Orig but this is a good fit . Will match everything in shop . I will be painting my fridge and hardware cabinet metallic oil bronze was gona paint the saw to match it .  However after thought I changed my mind  Cuz   I wanted to keep the gloss black knobs and blade cover, and blade guides  black so all the fixings and trim work will stay black and the body  & legs of machine will  be  the Forged Hammered Grey. She's getting stripped tomorrow

Hiya there, If you really want to improve the original stand for just a few dollars there is an incredibly simple method, I think I've had three, maybe four of these over the years and while my latest one came very cheap without the flimsy "Tin Terror" the earlier ones had it,

My method is simply get two lengths of mild steel bar in the ball park of 2" x 1/4" or 50mm x 6mm, and long enough to bolt to the sides of the lower "foot" area of the tin stand, I bolted through the holes meant for the axle and extended the new side bars past the rear feet just by 3 to 4 inches and drilled new holes behind the stand for the original axle, this both stiffens the whole setup which is a great thing but puts the wheels further back under the motor which greatly reduces the tendency to flip over.
Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.

Thanks for idea  got that covered ... Maybe I may go with Hydraulic pump  too.  
 I think I am changing color scheme again.... but its 2 fold reason For #1 return paint to spend money else where . (hydraulic pump) . lol Yes there is a method to my madness what I was thinking was using the same metallic oil bronze for the table that needs the touching up. And only paint only lower leg section that I will be beefing up modifying . Forgot to mention I will be adding 4x4 matching leg profile... to the inside of the leg bases ... so that too will be same color. And what im gona do is make a mount on front face a drill press vice ( for keeping center weight more stable when saw in vertical position. What my though was instead of a free weight idea im gona add a vice hanger . Hang a DP vice I was thinking 2 fold reasons . Also would use it for doing Horiz cuts for slitting .... Practical , and useful all in one... Beside sI have a BRANDEY NEW unopened in a box Palmgren 8" Vice to use on my Drill press .. That chepo drill vice is perfect to hack up modiphy ect...

Changed game plan AGAIN  im stippen er down .. well starting to thats what happens with Hot Chepoli,s and a few Carona's left to fiddle round in garage.. Ya see . my wife made some tortias last night and brought them in on a plate ..  and they was”Hot” … I had to keep cooling my mouth off and kept takin stuff apart.... six pack latter this is what I ended up with.... Ohh I broke the ole plastic handle getting er off.  Everything was frozen ..Not sure if I want to take off motor pulleys cuz I aint got no spares or a lathe yet.   As far as handles thats ok I have 2 replacements to choose from.  One black plastic one  I think the other ones an ole Brigport down feed wheel.  Looks like ill be boring out a hole drilling a shaft and putting a drift pin in... lol.... So her's what I got so far wish me luck cuz > ohh the good news  looks like im gona go all the way  and go back to my original Forged  Hammered Grey color scheme
And the moral to the story .That's what happens when ya keep takin stuff apart ... cant blame it on the Chepoili peppas .lol..... what better thing to do on a day off......should be fishing tho...
