The idea of improving the bearing puller by adding a socket onto the shaft was brilliant. That alone was worth the time invested in the video. Thanks for the tip!

⚡️⚡️GREAT STUFF⚡️⚡️I’m glad I found your channel I look forward to seeing more of your videos📺 I do mostly TRANSFORMER Stop Motion 🎬📸🎞️ I hope you enjoy my animation‼️ 2:20

----- use a split bearing puller ( the kind that separate into two halves and then bolt back securely together ) to pull the pulley - a 2 or 3 arm puller on the pulley rim is going to destroy it every time - the bearing puller pulls against the entire rim - you still might destroy it, but the other way is guaranteed to ----- most shafts aren't going to knock out so easy - use a solid drift instead of something with a plastic handle -- you can take out the shaft without removal of the slider half of the top, but it is a tight fit with some interference - a long 1/4 drive extension turned backwards just fits into the 1/2 inch shaft bore and works great - whatever you do, don't just beat the crap out of it - you can actually crack the cast iron housing at the bearing area - in the long run, removal of the top half is the way to go just be careful not to lose the 3 half-moon bearings that go between the adjusters and the top - as far as I know, you can't find replacements ---- put a 1/2 horse motor and carbide knives on these little jointers and they turn into super beavers

I have one six inches jointer craftsman can i get the scrws that lock the blades to buy

I have the same issue 2003 kia sorento i replaced the harmonic balancer oem kia brand still wobbles did you fix the wobble ?

I just finished rebuilding one of these jointers today. Should have watched your video first!!!

This is pretty interesting. Is it a universal motor or a normal dc motor? It sounds like a universal motor. My first thoughts are it could be overamping somehow or the commutator is scraping the brushes too much.

my shaft is bent can you tell me where to buy one

Very good video. I have exactly the same task to do on mine and you have helped a lot!

The model is from a DC14

nice idea , did you get cyclon and motor from Disen a vacuum cleaner ? sorry for mistakes.

I have the same jointer and I'm wondering what size blades it takes. I cannot find a manual or part number on it. It's missing all the craftsman badges. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks 👍😊 freezing bearings for 20 minutes allowed me to Bessey K clamp both in simultaneously. And heat gunn the cast bore with ease, very snug fit are room returning to room temperature. Then I froze the shaft as instructed and slid in with minimal effort. Thanks for the tip 😉

Look at the bearings for the p/n on the edge of the outer race. Should be standard/metric bearings. Use an NTN crossreference guide & get them sealed on both sides. These will be pretty durable bearings. I'll try to remember to check mine out & post the #.

i dont care if the video is not perfect i got the idea how to replace the bearing.thank you.

Thank for the video. Almost done restoring mine: twitter.com/meeesensei/status/1335399281260339200

How specifications of this motor?

I loved what you've done. I have an old Dyson and I'm thinking in doing the same. I wished I could have more detailed information and advice for my project. Great work. Thank you for sharing.

Did you have the shaft in the freezer?

To anyone looking for the bearing, the bearings I used are R8RS 1-1/8 x 1/2 x 5/16 you can usually get them in 10 packs for around $10 to $12 just about anywhere.

how to buy the replacement bearings?

having a devil of a time getting the tables level and in parallel to each other. the sliding height adjuster thing has some play that I cannot get out. Any thoughts?

My dad gave me one of there without wedges. Is there somewhere I can buy replacement ones. My google searches have turned up nothing

Hi AJ Dragon! Awesome build! How did you gear the motor? What size are your pulleys?

I have the exact planer and I was wondering where you find replacement blades ......mine are about in the same shape.

is that strong enough for heavy duty job?

I had to watch three of them including yours before I even tried refurbishing mine and I figured out a couple of tricks on my own from it. Like cutting a channel in a piece of plywood to back up my pully. Those damn things are expensive and double tape helped out allot too. Guess I should have made a video😉...

Wow ! That was hard to watch! Maybe you shoulda watch a video before making a video ???

Did the shaft have any end to end movement before or after you replaced the bearings?

Where did you find the new bearings?

I found the 2nd video. Thanks for posting. I’m in the middle of restoring mine now. It was my grandfathers.

You helped me out I am in the middle of this process right now. Do you have a video on how to get the bearings back on?

great. im thinking of my dewalt 745 table saw to put brushless motor for less noise. but i not finish it yet.. :( have any advice?

Hi, To anyone that has made one or is thinking about making one, I would recommend you also get some knee high nylon stocking too put over the funnel portion to act as a fine mesh screen to keep out finer dust particuls.

Did you cut a keyway for the shaft? How did you keep the flywheel from spinning off in the backward rotation?

That's cool. I love seeing people get creative.
