Bandsaw 22 - Bearing alignment

With a real blade mounted on the wheels I soon discovered that the bearing guides were way off alignment so after some redesign came up with a better version..

 

This is Version 2.0

Bandsaw 21 - Lower blade guides

As with the upper assembly I will need to redesign the lower blade guides which I removed so I could test run the saw.

CCTV Security System–Update

Installed the RXCamPro app so I can view the Cocoon CCTV-DVR system on the new Lenovo tablet - looks good.

 

Bandsaw 20 - Temporary table

In my last update I was working on the upper and lower blade guides which I completed last night so for tonight we setup a temporary table. Having reached this point of the project I am ready now to commit to buying a - bandsaw blade!



It's really starting to look like a bandsaw now.

Bandsaw 19 - Purchasing a blade

Off in the next day or so to CARBA-TEC in Springvale to purchase a bandsaw blade - finally!

This one should be OK to test the saw:

BBL-2553-13-4 Bandsaw Blade (L = 2553mm, W = 13mm, TPI = 4) $22.00

Purchased a 10” tablet

While at JB Hi-Fi also purchased a Lenovo 10" Tablet for $319 for general use around the home - Lenovo Yoga 10 10.1" Tablet 16GB

New TV for the balcony

Off this morning after tending to Dusty (horse) to JB Hi-Fi to purchase the Soniq 40" Full HD LED-LCD TV on sale for $299 - that's a good price. This is to replace the balcony AWA 37" that we returned to BIGW for a full refund after two years of use (three year  warranty) when it developed a fault and the warranty provider collapsed.
