Landis 30 Splitter Refurbished

[vicroll91]

I just finished getting this into working order. I have completely disassembled, cleaned, oil, and greased this machine per Landis' instructions. I had a local sharpener get the blade nice and sharp, a machinist surface ground the primary bevel to get it cleaned up, flat, smooth.

 

At this point, it just needs some fine tuning and adjustment. I did not paint it because I prefer to leave these old machines as original as possible, but it has in fact been carefully gone over.

There are two things of note:

1.) A small piece of the gear cover broke at some point. I have the piece, it is where a screw is meant to hold it in place. I just have a small clamp holding it. Works fine, I will include it. 

 

2.) It was missing one of the blade support screws (they support it from the back and have a broad base), so I fabbed two little screw parts that do the same job.

 

Other than that, it's ready for a new home. I enjoyed working on it.
