    Mill wiring question

    So, the mill I bought is a King model 31, which I also see described as a PDM 30.

Am I missing something ?

    King Canada parts

    I acquired a horizontal band saw that appear to be identical to a King Canada KC- 129C , no makers marks on the machine, they're worn off. It's missing a few part and I'd like to source them. The company has a parts web site so I know what I need, the right hand blade guise assembly, but I...
