Gettin' fixina tune up my Unisaw #12: Run out! Now, while you still can!

You need a helmet cam ;)

Yeah I do.

I was daydreaming about how I could make one out of wood as my first project for my new Unisaw.

I just watched the video myself. I guess I shouldn’t have unplugged the headset ‘cause then the sound volume went way down.

I also think I should try to limit these video to about one minute. I’ll see what I can do in the future.

Baseball hat and a little duct tape can do wondrous things. The guys on the model airplane site that I run do something like this so that they can fly and video tape at the same time.

A good site for a little basic info:

I would tend to think that runout should first be checked at the blade. That’s where the rubber meets the road. If you’re good, there, then—to some degree—it doesn’t matter how it got there.

The article (and my perspective) also agree about getting everything nice and clean before you check.

Another article … from a site I’ve enjoyed reviewing:

Good vid. Made popcorn around half-way through it!

you going good ,this is how you tune a old unisaw.I’ve read that you always check the arbor first and can sand lightly to adjust small areas,and use a lathe for bad areas.looks pretty good though,cleaning first is a must just might be perfect after a clean.again check out http://www.owwm.org/ if you are into these old unisaws or have any questions and I mean any,these guys know it all.
