8” Bandsaw – Larger bearings / relocate motor

Not happy the way the saw is running, there’s to much wheel wobble – why ???

Removed the blade to check the wheels and was shocked to find they are just flopping around, something drastic has happened to the bearings.

For V1.1 we will use the larger 6200 2RS (12/32) bearings, two per wheel mounted in flange blocks.

The motor will be moved closer to the front (reduce footprint) so the V-belt will directly drive a Vee pulley fixed to the back of the lower wheel.

Meanwhile made a hinged blade cover for the left and also added the third thrust bearing to the guide assembly.

BTW: Grabbed another ALDI LED lamp reduced to $10 from $15, last one so don't make fun about my colour choice.
