Long story, but I aquired a nice Do All 16" Metal Cutting "Contour" Saw. It had been left outside for some time. Luckily everything was in tact and as I tore into the machine, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the machine seemed to have little wear. Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge. I have to thank Paul Amaranth and Harold  Vordos for their help and advice. Lucky for me, Paul had the exact same saw and was able to take some pictures but more importantly share his operator's and parts list with me. This will help with the reassembly.
 
 

This is the saw before disassembly.I lost part of the Job Selector Dial during transit. DoAll had a replacement.	Back side of the saw	Side shot with the speed controls. This machine has a Hi-Low transmission as well as Variable Speed Drive!	Interior shot of the machine,  showing the 1.5hp Single phase motor and the weighted feed mechanism. The external parts of the feed are missing, though I think I can fabricate them.
Close up of Reeves drive and weighted feed mechanism	Yup, that's me showing my good side. :-) Cabinet nearly disassembled.	Wheel side of the saw with the blade welder removed and on the table	Cabinet gutted.
Drive side of the saw.	Wheelbarrow full of bandsaw parts!	I sandblasted the cabinet myself instead of sending it out. It was about 4 hours work. Turned out well. You can see part of the 3 sided tarp "booth" I used to contain the media so I could recycle it after sifting it .	Right after blasting it, I went ahead and painted it.
Another shot of the painted cabinet		This is a shot of the cleaned up Reeves drive. No detectable wear!	All the small parts cleaned, blasted and painted.
Shot of Rotary Vane pump after disassembly. It was noisy. I believe it was just dirty.	Rotary Vane pump after cleaning and polishing. Very good shape. Turns quietly and pumps air for the chip blower	This is a shot of the inside of the two speed transmission. All gears and the clutch dogs are inexcellent shape! There was oil in the trans, good!	Close up of the trans clutch dogs.
Shot showing how clean the transmission was after washing in solvent.	Shot of the assembled and cleaned transmission. I didn't bother to paint it.	Shot of tires. Left one cleaned with WD40 mixed with light oil. I used the scrubbing pad on top. They cleaned up very well and softend the rubber. Tire on right shows before shot.	Table before cleaning
Table half cleaned. I used a 3M Woven abrasive. Hook & Loop back. On my Makita 7" VS Sander/Buffer	Completed table. Nearly no pitting!	Update 2/24/03 Here is a picture of the mobile base I made for the saw. Actually it is a Delta Universal Base. Instead of wood I used 1.5"x1.5" Steel Tubing. The wheels need to be replaced with cast iron units to support the weight of the saw.	Saw partially assembled
	Machine is about 85% complete at this stage	Interior Shot of at the 85% stage	Side Shot.
Updated 3/2/2003 I replaced the casters in the mobile base with these. The core is castiron with a molded rubber.	Electrica work was done. Factory lamp rebuilt and installed..	Start/Stop Motor control salvaged from another machine...	Control wired and complete.
Blade welder was cleaned, painted and lubed. I still need to fabricate the clamps that clamp the blade. Note the start/stop switch.	Picture of factory lamp. I found a new socket at the local hardware store.  Pic of the 60w Halogen Flood lamp.	Interior shot of completed cabinet.	Back of completed saw

Well as of March 2, 2003 the saw is complete and runs. I need to buy blades or blade stock. Finish the welder. And make the parts for the feed mechanism. This was a great project. I'm happy to have the saw for my work shop. I believe it will serve me well and out live me. Again my thanks to Paul Amaranth (for the help and the manuals) and Harold Vordos for the advice and coaching along the way. Folks in the Home Machinist Community never cease to amaze me with their unselfish ability to lend a hand....

Folks have asked why I take the time to post pictures and a webpage. I hope that it serves as inspiration to others. It is very rewarding to drag home a piece of old iron. Dismantle it, clean it, make necessary parts and repairs, detail it and put it back into service. It is a good way to learn the insides and out of your machines. You become intimately familiar with the machine and how it works. Sometimes you gain respect for those craftsman that designed them and assembled them. Its always gratifying to me to step back and see the end result of your work.
