Looking for General 450 parts

If you have any parts you would like to sell, let me know.

I am currently looking for:

2x Part #1533 Handknob for locking the handwheels.
1x Part #4514 Spindle pulley for the arbor (cracked)



The whole blade guard.

Beginning restoration

I just begun restoring my table saw. It's all apart now and I am in the process of cleaning it all.



























Cleaned up parts... Shinny!

Here it is!

Here is the saw.

I already took apart the electrical since I'm going to be using a variable frequency drive to convert the single phase 220v to three phase for the motor.


Here you can see the motor. The cover is missing but I will be able to get it tonight. 

The cabinet is missing the original panel here and it seems there is no dust collection port on it. I asked General about a replacement part. If it's reasonable, I might get it otherwise I will just hack some port here. 


The table is not so bad, just a little rust. There was a wood insert in there, I'm going to see if it's worth it to get the original part from General.


Here is the switch/starter for the motor. It's a 609 BAW from Allen Bradley. I won't need it so let me know if you would like to buy it. 



Just bought a General 450 table saw!


I made a bet and bought a General 450 three 3HP table saw without seeing it first.

Here is the original ad from Kijiji:

Motor is 3 phase 3 hp 208 volt. Inc biesemeir fence 72" and Excalibur rolling table. Good working condition.
And this is the picture from the ad:
