Shop talk

Shane,
Beautiful machines. You have done them justice. I have a Wysong Miles 283. My plan is to restore it as time permits.

Boise Crane & Delta/ Rockwell

I have an old bench-top Boice Crane drill press that I just love, nothing phases this machine, My hopes are to one day find or make the parts to make it a floor model, any suggestions there? I also have an Old Delta/Rockwell (labeled Milwaukee) 10"...

I have an old bench-top Boice Crane drill press that I just love, nothing phases this machine, My hopes are to one day find or make the parts to make it a floor model, any suggestions there? I also have an Old Delta/Rockwell (labeled Milwaukee) 10" tilt table, table saw. With some research I've found that it's an 1160 model. My problem is that the front trunion has been shattered. Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Boice Crane 2200

Hi! I recently acquired a Boice Crane 2200 complete with the stand. It is a lot like yours, except mine is pink and the space for the motor is open to the side and a few other miscellanious things. I am wondering if mine could be a 1940s model,...

Hi! I recently acquired a Boice Crane 2200 complete with the stand. It is a lot like yours, except mine is pink and the space for the motor is open to the side and a few other miscellanious things. I am wondering if mine could be a 1940s model, especially because it is pink? I know nothing about the history of it, but decals are still on it and it is in great condition.

Shane These pieces, as well as the Photography is stunning. It all shows such depth of commitment on all levels, especially the patience to follow through on these projects. I love the photos, with a special fondness for the bird shots. I have done many pencil graphics with birds as subjects. Really great. I look forward to speaking with you about all of this.

Hi Scott,

There is usually two ways to adjust the blade so it's parallel with the miter slots. Some saws the trunnions are mounted to the base/stand/frame of the saw so ya need to just loosen the bolts (4 usually) that attach the table top to the base/stand/frame and then rotate the table to make your adjustments.

Other saws the trunnions are mounted to the underside of the table top. If this is the case then ya just loosen the bolts that hold the trunnion is place and then rotate the saw assembly until its parallel with the slots.

Good luck,
Shane

Hi - I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have a Boice Crane Table Saw; I think it is a model 2500 - at least that is the number on the under side of the table. The blade is not parallel to the miter gauge slots and I can not figure out a way to adjust it. Can you offer any advice or resources for information?
Thanks,
Scott
