I was putting this job off for years and my saw was getting quite loud. Seeing how you did it was a great help. My biggest barrier to starting was I envisioned having to take the whole saw apart, showing how to just remove arbor assembly was brilliant. Removing and pressing the bearings back on was not as difficult as I feared. Saws must use a light interference fit, I was expecting needing a heavy press to accomplish this. Your tutorial was excellent and I liked how you didn't hide the trial and errors. Showing/describing the little mistakes was so very helpful as it really highlighted potential pitfalls. All in all great job.

Matthias, not much help now but if you put the shaft in the freezer it should shrink enough to get the bearings on without too much effort.
@rolliekelly67836 жыл бұрын
As you cool the shaft, wrap the bearings in aluminum (aluminium) foil and then place on top of a bare incandescent bulb. 250* F (120*C) -300*F (150*C) will be sufficient.
@bobbuchanan84666 жыл бұрын
I have not used the aluminum foil on the incandescent bulb idea, but I have used the freezer suggestion with success. It works great for a jointer arbor.
@onjofilms6 жыл бұрын
I use a 250w laser to warm up the bearings after freezing the shaft in liquid nitrogen. I then use 3 oxen to pull it apart. No WD-40 needed.

The foil just prevents oil or grease from getting on the bulb.

Hi folks. Mathias did a great job changing those out. If you have to do it try and minimise the stress on the bearings. Push on the bit that is a tight fit, don't apply force to the inner race to make the outer one fit or vice versa and do not hamer them home - those actions significantly reduce the life of the bearings. As pointed out by others below, warming the housing and cooling the spindle will also help, but you need to work quickly or they just all reach the same temperature. Sometimes a lenght of 'allthread' can be a big help depending on the configuration and conveniently sized mechanics sockets are much used as spacers. But, Mathias, of course, did it with wood! Cheers. BobUK.

In my experience, when a bearing gets noisy like that, it means the lubrication inside has broken down and dried out. If they have bearing seals that can be removed (the new ones he is using do) then they are able to be re lubricated as long as the bearings have not run too long dry and worn on the inner and outer race causing movement. Hope that helps!

@trisstaneuteneier41136 жыл бұрын
Hey Matthias! Next time you need to change a bearing on a shaft like that, after youve removed the old bearings, just stick it in the freezer for an hour or two. The cold causes the metal to contract and shrink a few thousandths of an inch. Sounds stupid but 9 times out of 10 it works beautifully! Works good for wheel bearing hubs and u-joints and things like that as well. Not trying to sound like a know it all or say your way is wrong or anything. The internets got enough keyboard captains.

He was replying to installing the new bearings I believe. I usually put the shaft in the freezer and warm the bearings on a 40-60w bulb or just hold them in my hands till warm. Then with the cold shaft and warm bearings the inner race just slides on to the shaft no press and very quick. If it doesn’t seat all the way at the bottom I find a piece of pvc that fits the inner race and hit the inner race down till it seats.

I fully empathize. I spent a half-day on my back reaching up into my very similar saw trying to get a gear-puller into tight quarters. My saw uses an intermediate pulley between the motor and the arbor, (which has a nice side effect of not having to move the motor when I raise the blade) but that also means it’s a dual pulley, (v-belt+ribbed timing belt style) and this fine “Canadian” made in Taiwan saw used cast tin-foil for that custom pulley. Since I bought the saw, this outfit has gone bankrupt twice, this final time for good, and long story short, after a disastrous adventure in 3D printing, I had a local machine shop duplicate the pulley out of stainless steel, for less than any local shop would print me one out of any sort of nylon or abs. One shop offered to print on in bronze infused stainless for nearly 700.oo. The machine shop did a one-off for 150.oo.

Must of made somebody mad because the Safety Dept came out and locked it out a couple of weeks later.

Like Mathias I bought the same bearings from Motion Canada at 6$ apiece. I lubricated everything with a graphite spray dry lube. My arbor was a little different in design in that the shiv was one piece. My old bearings pulled off easier and new ones pressed on easily. I need a good idea as to how to hook dust collection up to this saw.

The heated bearings slid very easily onto the shaft with no force required at all.
