8” Bandsaw – Some improvements

Made some improvements and also fixed a few issues.

This is where it's at...all come together quite well.

Cut a slot in the guide arm for height adjustment and it's held in place with a lock knob.

One issue was that the blade was to close to the guard cover so I had to rebate the MDF support strip on the router table...and we can try out the scissors jack router lift.

Setup the router with a 16mm straight bit and set the depth to 2mm (router lift works well) and cut the rebate on the MDF blade cover - nice.

Another view from the front.

With the blade running clear of the guard put a nicer cover restraint on the frame, simply swing it down to open the left blade guard cover.

Added some plywood covers for the motor and there is still plenty of ventilation.
