Re: Replacement blade guide bearings

Hi Terry ?I can tell from the pictures/drawings it's not a Rong Fu or an RF clone (the major manufacturer at the time), the base casting and fixed vice jaw styles are way different. The manual is also very different from Rong?Fu and pretty good layout for 1983 despite the terrible English.? 3/4HP from an era when they didn't lie about motor HP means its more powerful than most by todays standard. (1HP HF motor will be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 HP - they quote input power not output!) It could be a good one if it's made well.? The use of quality tools in the adjustment section hopefully points in that direction - jv?
Sorry Terry, I didn't think that you may have been asking for a brand name.
TSL>Thanks, John, I was mainly intending to post a "new member, first post" but goofed and did not modify the Subject. Thanks for the information on bearings as I might well need that when I get to work cleaning up and checking out the new acquisition.?
I have a similar problem with my 1987 Taiwanese bandsaw.? It has a manual that just give the model number 'UC115'? and nothing else.
I learned that it was probably made by one of the major manufacturers as a house brand for another exporter from Taiwan.? Yours may be similar.
Can you scan your manual and post it in the Files section of this site and I'll compare it to my manual's Jinglish.? It may prove to be of a similar make. - jv
