Skil Classic 2.5hp saw repair?
Guy gave me a Ski 7" saw yesterday. "Classic" model. Sorta a gold
color, in a fitted case. Sounds like a Clabber Girl can full of ball bearings being spun up. These saws worth repairing? Sources for bearings and the screw/stuff that holds the blade on?

Can't say that you can "make money" repairing it, but if you google
"skilsaw parts" you'll get a lot of hits from places that sell parts. You can usually look around on the sites to find your model, and see the parts you need, with prices. I have gone this route several times. Pete Stanaitis -------------------- Gunner wrote: Guy gave me a Ski 7" saw yesterday. "Classic" model. Sorta a gold color, in a fitted case.

Big Pete, famous Usenet Racist That saw, if anything at all like mine, is a big P.O.S. Mine sounded bad almost right away. I didn't use it much so by the time it sounded bad it was out of warranty. Then, after only about 1 hour of use, the thing melted a brush holder. Brushes and holders were not available at any local place. The Classic saw parts could only be had mail order. So I made up a new brush holder and modified a larger brush to fit. Started fine, sounded like crap, even though everything was greased and put together properly. Started to use it and got maybe 4 2 x 4s cut when it quit agian, this time jamming. Looking inside revealed the commutator segments that had come loose and jammed up the works. I removed the new carbide toothed blade and threw the rest away. ERS |

I think the 'Classic' is their $40 special. If so, it has nothing but
bushings in the critical spots. I've rebuilt a couple of these, they work fine with an abrasive saw blade and then toss the whole thing. If it isn't the ball bearing models, forget it. spaco wrote: Can't say that you can "make money" repairing it, but if you google "skilsaw parts" you'll get a lot of hits from places that sell parts.

Pete Stanaitis -------------------- I dont want to make money..it appears that my post last month about not needing to lock things up was a bit..premature. My favorite Rockwell worm drive saw and all my angle grinders were last seen being sold out of the back of a womans car. I did manage to buy the Milwaukee Sawzall and 9" angle grinder back from one of the old boys who bought em. They know who she is..long time local thieve..so its a race wither the cops or..ah..someone close to me catches up with her first. I just need a power saw to cut stuff with.

Maybe you should just let the cops take care of it. Gunner wrote: They know who she is..long time local thieve..so its a race wither the cops or..ah..someone close to me catches up with her first. I just need a power saw to cut stuff with. Gunner |

Then mount an abrasive blade on it and cut anything ya want with no fear of destroying a good saw. Glenn |
