Subject: [Rockhounds] Worn Out Hillquist Saw



I have an old 16" Hillquist saw that is still functioning but in need of  
maintenance. The table that carries the material through the saw allows for  
1/8th in vertical movement causing the blade to slightly bind also the drive  
feed 
clutch often slips. I've used rosin and automotive v-belt dressing to help  
with the problem but that may be causing undesireable clutch drive force and  
speed.
 Would shop drawings be available for the saw, or would anyone know  the disa
ssembly procedure to remove and repair the travelling feed  table? Also, I 
heard they at one time had an improved replacement  clutch drive available but 
have had no luck locating one. I've contacted  Hillquist with these same issues 
without a response. Maybe a bad email  address.
 Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
 Thank you,
 Gary
