It was mentioned to me some might find my milling experiences entertaining so here’s what I’ve been up to on and off the past week. I’ve struggled in the past between getting larger diameter logs, up to 26”, or longer lo...

Hey man, I was just reading you response to DannyBoy about an old sabre saw and you had stated that you have one with a bad armature commutator. I just wanted to let you know that you might be able to take the armature to an Automotive Starter and Alternator/Generator shop, or an Electric Motor Repair shop if there’s one close to you, and they can probably rewind the armature for you and replace the commutator. When I was in high school and a few years after I worked for an armature shop and rewound armatures, we did everything from shrimp boat armatures to trolling motor armatures to 18 wheel truck armatures. There is also a good chance that if you can find an armature sop that has been around a while they might actually have an armature that they have rewound in stock or have a used commutator that they could use to fix your’s. I did all kinds of oddball armatures when I worked there, but they closed that shop a few years ago. I am from the Birmingham, Alabama area and there are at least two shops I can think of that could probably rebuild your armature, Southern Armature Works (205)324-6529 and also Chancey’s Alternator & Starter (205)428-1752. I hope this helps you and I wouldn’t think that it would be expensive to have that armature redone.

Did you hog out the interior with a dado set on your tablesaw? If so, what diameter dado and how deep was the sink cut?

Hi Bigblockyeti
to answer your question I used a sliding chop saw with a 12” blade. The opening of the sink is 14.5 inches long 10 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The sanding is what took the longest time of the project.
