Members DanishMan Posted February 13, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2021 Before painting the machine, I have to make sure, that the black arm fits this machine. I realised, that I had to mount a to mm plate between the base of the arm the the main machine. I do not have this peace of metal, but I will try to get in on Monday. Next I have to make sure, that with the black arm, the presser foot will be situated properly over the feed wheel. It turns out, that the presser foot will sit 1 mm back compared to my wifes Fortuna. I believe it will work. The original 3S machine had a 34 mm roller wheel, and I want to use a 50 mm wheel instead. This requires only minor adjustments it appears. Quote
Members DanishMan Posted February 16, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 16, 2021 Arm fitted today. Two mm metalplate fitted between arm and side of the machine. Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted February 16, 2021 Members Report Posted February 16, 2021 You are really moving forward on this project! Thyregod green is a nice colour. I just thought of Reseda green since most of my woodworking machines are that colour. I think it used to be sort of a standard machine colour for e.g. tablesaws and bandsaws etc. Brgds Jonas Quote
Members DanishMan Posted February 17, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 17, 2021 Hi Jonas The Thyregod color is very nice, but in fact the original colour is even darker. I see that you are Danish. Where do you live? Cheers Søren Quote

Members jimi Posted February 23, 2021 Members Report Posted February 23, 2021 Looking real good Soren, nice job and can´t wait to see this finished Quote
Members DanishMan Posted February 26, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Hi Jimi I will just have to let the paint harden for a few weeks. Then I will start assembling the machine again. I had to fit a 2 mm metal plate between the arm the machine. I also had to drill new holes, as the arm is attached with three bolts, whereas the 3S arm had four bolts - but I think, it will work out. Cheers Søren Edited February 26, 2021 by DanishMan Quote
Members Cumberland Highpower Posted February 28, 2021 Members Report Posted February 28, 2021 I like your project but I have to ask, is it really worth the amount of work considering what a good used machine can sell for? Are you just into restoring old skivers? Quote
