[Rockhounds] Dead rock saw

[Tim]

You can use a pulley puller to get the block off. Replacements can be found
at local machine parts suppliers; I get all of mine at McMaster-Carr online.
If not then someone like Diamond Pacific might be able to find a replacement
from their inventory.

Subject: [Rockhounds] Dead rock saw

My old Highland Park model E4 rock saw finally bit the dust.  The  
bearings seized up.  I managed to get the shaft block off the box,  
but can't seem to take it apart.  Not sure I could replace the  
bearings anyway....

Anyone have a spare shaft block to sell?  A spare saw?  Do I have any  
other options?

Thanks,
