The down side of free stuff is when you have to replace it, just TRY and find
that model!

Yeah, I'm still trying to locate worm gears for the old Wilton 4x6
saur I got. I should get tires while I'm at it, and by then, I'll be
up to the price of a new HF 4x6. Hmmm...

O.K. First question: "saur" -- sort for "dinosaur" to indicate
the age, or just a creative spelling of "saw"?

Hey, I got it from Gunner. It's a bit of both. g


Second -- does the Wilton 4x6 actually *have* tires? The import
one which I have from MSC has a cast iron wheel with a flange and a
groove to clear the set of the 1/2" blade teeth -- no tire. I thought
that all of the 4x6 saws were like this.

That's the way this is, but someone recently mentioned tires on a
metalworking bandsaw and it got me thinking that maybe I was missing
something. This thing's pretty clapped out and the local ACE hardware
stores now have ShopFox 4x6ers in stock for $149, so...
