Sounds like a CW song doesn't it? I bought this for $50 As purchased by Glen Ray, on Flickr Notice some lortone parts on this HP B12? Notice the thumper wheel on the right and the missing buffer and shroud? I've been looking around the internet for parts for this thing, but I'm not having much luck. Anyone have parts or know someone who may have parts? I'm looking for trays and shrouds. I have another HP cabber that is going to need parts also. but this one will be for my shop. I am also looking for vise parts for this saw. This is a 10" saw that is part of the HP b12. I see a guide slot and a pulley for a vise assembly but I don't have any of the parts. Anyone have parts or suggestions? 10 inch saw by Glen Ray, on Flickr Thanks Glen

Great deal for $50. Diamond Pacific may sell a vise for the saw. Kingsley North has strips of silicon carbide sanding paper for the thumper wheel, but you may want to replace it with an expando drum. That will cost more than what you paid for the whole unit! Lynn

If I was at home I could send you a photo of the vice and how I used a Lortone hood and tray to replace the one you are missing and yes with an expando on that end.

Does yours also have the buffer on the end? I'm probably going to fold up some sheetmetal to make trays and shrouds. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of them out there.
Do you use the vise on that saw? I'm guessing the downward force from the blade keeps the vise and stone down on the table.

I have the following grit 8" wheels. What grit do you think would be useful on the expando? 80, 180, 600, 1200

I'm traveling but can post a photo of my unit in about a week when I've returned home (if the need for such a post has not been supplanted by then). Jumping on from the 1200 where you end off, I'd have 3000, 8000, and 50000, but it seems like my 8 to 50 is a big jump and someone will suggest the logical size. I have room for the flat polishing disk even tho I don't have it in place (it would inconvenience the expand belt change).
