Hi jason, I bought the same and fixed it up. I got a blade from grizzly but to big. I'm struggling to find the correct blade. Any advice? Thanks Jerome

I sold it but believe it was a 116” blade. You might be able to pause the video and zoom in on the upper door I had stuck a blade label on it to remember the length

[@stepitup5409]

is that a one quarter inch wide blade? I need a half inch blade.

[@Bmw2473]

I’m ran 1/8 blades all the way up to 3/4 for resawing. I sold the machine this year but I recall it being like 116” blade

[@Bmw2473]

I say what size blade I had on and the length at 6 min into the video

[@myjoecalledlife]

Did you change your upper tensioner? Mine is shot, I want to be sure the JET ones will fit. What blade size are you running? Hard to find info on this saw. Picked mine up on the side of the road. Good video, keep it up!

[@Bmw2473]

I had broke the yoke on mine but a jet 16” part would work it’s all the same there.

[@Bmw2473]

I run 1/4 up to 3/4 I have a higher tension spring in mine which I believe is a cobra. Need to be careful as you’ll snap the cheap pot metal like I did on the upper wheel to move the wheel in and out to track straight. Replaced with the jet part and it’s held up good.

@@Bmw2473 put the JET part in, but I'll get the big horn handle and cobra spring. As well as new urethane tires. Blade length is 111 right?

i got mine from grizzly works great

[@tomasfletcher4281]

I just picked up one of these but the top end is in pieces. It seems to be missing the tensioner. Any chance on getting a pic or info on what you used for the wheel mount & tensioner
