Thanks so much for this gave me the confidence to tear mine down when it became impossible to lower the table. It was exactly as shown. The old grease was like dry window putty.
Sarge, I had the problem w/ the table raising wheel. I took it apart, applied a few drops of rubbing alcohol, and, just like you said, with little effort, it came free and turns effortlessly. Loved the saw before, and now, even more! Many thanks for your video.
Really appreciate this. I have 3 Inca power tools: jointer/planner, 341.018 table saw and bandsaw. Desperately need to do a tear down of the table saw for the exact reasons you pointed out. I just need to screw up my courage to dive into it.
Excellent! What type of grease did you use for the ‘tracks’? I had to free up mine too, with patience and used a specific type of Venom airgun lubricant from the UK I had laying around. It moves freely now, only the last 3 mm of the topmost extension is a bit difficult.
Good video. My Inca Major table saw does not have lithium grease residue like yours. I am using a 3m scouring pad with a little solvent to remove alot of wood pitch.
Great info. I just bought the INCA saw and experience the high friction. I got. a 220V 1,1 kW 2860 rpm motor. The motor in itself is not that noice but when the arbor is connected it make a lot of noise. Any clue what it could be ?
This is so great! I literally took mine (which I just inherited from my Mom) apart last week. However, I haven't investigated that bolt yet. I will. I have cleaned all the surfaces and spent some time researching possible lubricants. The question is whether to go back with white lithium grease (which is great but attracts all sawdust) or to use a dry spray lubricant that doesn't have silicone in it ( there are at least three different makers that I have found - probably more.) Let us know what you go with and why! Also, have you had any luck removing the table top from the tilt. There are six hex bolts and on mine they are really frozen. I think they are dissimilar metals and I fear they have just fused. I'm still working at it but starting to doubt I will get it apart. If I can get one side (3) I can get it apart. Let us know if you have any luck. Thanks for the great and REALLY timely video!
How did you remove the disc (at the left part of the axle in the beginning of the Video) holding the sawblade in place? Cant move mine :-( thx for advice
My table "height adjustment" handle has considerable "slop" before you can effect any movement. Example .. all the way down.. then you want to crank up... you have to turn the handle about 2 1/2 turns before it engages. I have not taken the saw apart yet .. will do so now that I have seen the video.
Hello, I just buyed Inca Major in realy good condition and have problem with high adjustment. It's stucked at maximum high position!? Wheel is going fine but no reaction... Those 2 washers are tight screwed!? Need to dissassembe and check all. Thank You for this video
Thanks! Ya, I'm actually planning on doing a 2nd channel dedicated mainly to Inca tools covering maintenance, modifications, dust collection, etc. etc.
Hello there. This comment is about the pfaff 130 video. I apologize for laying it here. I didn't want it to get lost in the comments of a 3 year old video. I admire your knowledge and appreciation for these machines. I just purchased a 130 from a thrift shop and would like some advice to get her running as well as your machine. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance !
I've had some pretty decent success with my setup. I'll post a video shortly outlining what I did. I plan on making an upper guard/dust shroud as well. The dust collection potential was the reason I purchased this saw in the first place.
Thanks, I look forward to seeing what you did. I find that when I raise the table, my dust collection gets less effective. Now, for some strange reason, I have this need to take my saw apart to clean the table mechanism.
Hi. Very nice videos! Did you ever replace or take out the arbor bearings? I can't figure out if there is a best way (direction) to get the blade side bearing out. Pull it out towards the blade side or the other direction? Other tips n tricks for a stuck bearing? Freezer? WD 40?... thank you!
@@thesergeant3524 Hi - @thesergeant - I am hoping to connect with you regarding a singer I purchased. Can you provide and email address for us to chat?
Hello, I'm from Argentina, I have the same machine and the arm was broken exactly there, do you know where I can get the spare part? or how to find it? Thanks a lot
Stock it comes with a 1.5HP motor. If you're using a 10" blade I wouldn't go lower than 1.5hp. If you're using the 8" exclusively you could probably get away with 1hp but 1.5 is ideal.

I want to make a 3d printed ABS zero insert with a dust suction port. Any ideas? My wooden closed box around the blade below is not great.

Did you replace the spindle bearings?

Yup, I broke that aluminum casting. Next step. machine shop. I bought my machine in 1978 or so ( long time ago) at Garret Wade. Love the machine.

It should just pull off. I'd guess yours it just 'glued on' by pitch and dust. Get some denatured alcohol on there and it should free up.

Hi is there anyone who can give me information on the chuck size for the mortice attachment. Thank you

Checked... That aluminium "lever" is brocken... Missing one part with that pin
Nice work! Maybe a second video as well when it is all lubed up and working :)

Please do :)

What is the secret to removing the tabletop?
Dust collection on the 259 is an exercise in futility without some modifications. If you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them.

What are you going to lubricate with?
?

I haven't but I think it was discussed on the Inca yahoo group. Google "Inca Yahoo Group" and you'll find it. Goodluck!

Man, if you find that part write here. Same problem

my new to me 259 (with mortiser) wont raise or lower.
