My old boss had a bread maker in the smoko room. He would put it on so the bread would be ready for lunch. His wife bought him an electric carving knife and a bread cutting guide.....he tried that once and then decided that the wood BS was a far better option, and everyday, without fail, he would slice his bread on it. One day we had put a big resaw blade on, the bread didn't like that much, the blade was a but hungry......

Ha. That reminds me of my Dad. A proud German who loved his Rye bread and used to scoff at the "white bread rubbish" He used to store it in the cupboard and let it go real hard. Harder the better as he was then able to spread butter on it (yep, he used to scoff at margarine too). This machine would have been perfect for cutting his bloody rye bread!
PS. I used to hate it when dad made the lunches. I would get bullied at school for having Rye bread sandwiches wrapped in grease proof paper (yep, dad scoffed at cling wrap..... "Bloody plastic rubbish")

Ok, Ok, I will give it a try but I don't know what the cutting fluid will taste like with banana, lettuce and vegimite sangers?

Hi Simon,
I have just gone through this thread and all 23 pages of the other thread....I had forgotten about Michael overcoming the forces of wormyness....
Anyway. the Startrite doesn't appear to have any bearings running on the back of the blade to stopit from lifting, just a bearing either side for alignment and 2 carbide pads for the same thing. I couldn't make out in any of your pics whether the Heska was the same or does it have a bearing that runs on the back of the blade?
And for what its worth i can still get parts for my saw....a new worm gear is 260 odd pounds.
Cheers,

Hi Ueee,
Yes Michael was (is) instrumental in helping me with the Heska (and other projects). Which reminds me, I still have his gear cutter! I should pull my finger out and cut that gear. It's funny how a seemingly "temporary" fix ends up being permanent when it does the job!
As for the blade guides, The blade is sandwiched between 2 stacks (3 bearing high) of bearings and the back of the blade is supported by a thrust bearing. Pictures tells a 1000 words. I just ducked out and took the blade guide off for a pic. I had the guides adjusted so it was cutting beautifully square, if I can't get it back the same way then I'll be blaming you!
Having trouble attaching pic. I'll close this post and try again…. Ignore that, seems to have worked!

Looking at the pic, I hope you can make sense of it. The guide on the LHS sits on top of the thrust bearing.
Also, glad to hear you can still get spare parts. I feel it's a measure of the quality of the machine the value that a company places on their products if you can get spares long after it was made.

Thanks Simon,
I'll add some more pics to the other thread but from what i see mine does not have anything for the thrust. Maybe it has another carbide pad buried under the years of swarf, but it looks like the back uf the blade has cut into the guide block a few times.
Cheers,
