Also, while the speed changing description is a bit fuzzy, I don't believe it's necessary to engage any other clutch except the push-pull one on the main drive shaft. My neighbor had a Wilton copy of this saw, and all he had to do was push or pull to engage/disengage the reduction gear box. In fact, I copied the idea in my own modification of my Delta 14" wood cutting band saw to cut metal. I put in a gear reduction box between the motor and drive spindle, then ran two belts to the saw spindle-one from the motor and the other from the gearbox. I encorporated a simialr push/pull mechanism to engage one of the two pulleys on the saw shaft (exclusive OR function). I did this by making a profiled square key that fits into the normal keaway milled into the spindle.
