getting old Belsaw A16 running

[JRslog]

Where can I order parts for an old A16 Belsaw? I know I will need saw teeth... and tons of advice!

JR, I don't think you will find a source for new parts, but most of the mill parts can be made with rudimentary metal working skills, or found used. To my knowledge Belsaw saws used Simonds "B" series bits and shanks that supporter Menominee saw (left column) can supply. Frank C.

Thanks I bought it about ten years ago , and havent had time to set it up until now. I just put the foundation down . I hope to set it on . tomorrow.

JR, it would be good form to clean off the shanks and look for letters and numbers just in case its a different saw not the original. Frank C.
