I did all the work with a couple of different power sanders; a small pneumatic rotary sander, a palm sander, and a little wire wheel that attached to my hand drill. The little wire wheel worked great on the worm gears.Someone in here told me to take the saw apart, because it would give me a better appreciation for it, and they were right. Seeing that it was all apart I decided to clean up and paint everything. The new Bies will finish it off great. I bought a couple of parts from The Sawcenter online for the arbor, that I am still waiting for, but other than that I have made no major purchases yet. I am probably going to order a 230V, 3 HP motor from Grizzly for $269.00, and I'll also get the switch, motor pulley, and belts from them, so in the end my saw will be a little bit of a cross breed.The prices were just better. Right now I'm using a late 60's 1.5 HP Crafsman that my father-in-law let me use. I really can't rip anything significant with this saw without slowing down or stopping the blade, so I'm going to really enjoy this saw. My thanks to everyone in for all of the helpful information and encouragement.
