I have a version of that saw, but it is a Ramco and I don't know how or who aqcuired who, but the carolinas are very very similar design to the ramcos and I am dealing with a similar issue. Yes you can adapt the saw for coolant as I am. Use oil though so it doubles as a lubricant to the saw. Search MMC for p/n: 7783K15 this switch should be similar to what you need. You will be able to go from there. If you are in a bind, you can hard wire the switch and use the saw plug to turn saw off and on.

This is VERY unsafe by many perspectives, but if you are competent and keep your hands out of the saw under all circumstances it can serve as a short term fix to maintain production. Probably thousands of those junk saws out there. The Travelers Rest, SC tool gypsies were quite prolific at one time. Those companies in Travelers Rest, South Carolina were/are owned by the Hawkins family.

Much of the 'gypsie' selling was done by some of the infamous 'Irish Travelers' families (or I think so) who have a large residence just north of Aiken, South Carolina. Manual central de alarme ecp alard max rf output. I seem to recall that the original business in Travelers Rest (35 years ago) was called Arrow Tools.

It has been alleged that the Irish Travelers are responsible for much of the con work on roof and siding repair all up and down the USA east coast. Many of them drive identical styled pick-up trucks, according to a 60-minute episode I saw 20 years or so ago. I remember seeing a South Carolina pick-up truck parked in a motel I was staying in near Houston in 1997. In the back of the pick-up was a load of the so called tools from Travelers Rest. The truck looked like an Irish Travelers style truck to me. It is interesting to drive through the Irish Travelers residential area in South Carolina.

The houses are very gaudy styled and mostly are made of white or some other light colored brick and are several stories high. The families are primarily Catholic and there will usually be a statue of the mother of Jesus in the yard. You have no doubt you have arrived in the area when you see the houses.

Regards; Jock. I have one of the Ramco bandsaws, got it and a new case of Lennox premium bi-metal blades at an auction for 140 bucks.

All I can say is bob is correct that a cheasy chicom saw is far better than anything Carolina or Ramco. There is nothing rigid or straight on the darn thing and the bed and stand are so light weight that until I put a frame and wheels under it you had to be darn careful about raising the saw up as the whole thing would flip over backwards. I had planned on using some 3/4' plate and welding up a new bed to replace the sheet metal one on the saw but I am thinking when the case of blades is used up the saw will go under the torch and to the scrapper. Life is too short to mess with garbage like that saw. Now that I know some of the history and heritage behind it, I like my saw better now. I'll prolly still just quietly kick mine when I pass by it.

I don't use it anymore, but 25 years ago when it was the only saw I had, I tweaked it around, added coolant & a chain drive in place of the V belt on the blade wheel, and cut several hundred 2.5 inch 304 slugs as well as several hundred 3-3/4' 718 inconel slugs with that ole bitch.and it got the job DONE in pretty fair fashion It all depends how determined you are to do something. This is interesting. I've seen the Traveler's Rest address on my Carolina saw nameplate but until now I never heard of these Irish Traveler characters. Now that I know some of the history and heritage behind it, I like my saw better now. BobMight seem that way, but Traveler's Rest isn't associated with the 'travelers' in any way except for the fact that they'd come to the various Hawkins' places to load up.

IIRC, Traveler's Rest was a stage stop in the 1800's. No one I've ever known of has any use for that band of roaming thieves who call themselves the travelers. Another of their favorite scams is to stop at a shop claiming they're there to buy scrap. One will occupy the owner while a couple more scout the place for a later midnight visit, or pick up anything that happens to be loose.
