Bandsaw 25 – Blade guides

Another session in the workshop, like the upper guides redesigned the lower ones and fitted them. Would like to do some more test cutting but need to arrange some blades guards before doing that.

The left side of the saw now has a blade guide.

Bandsaw 24 - Cutting wood !!!

We have reached a milestone with this project - cutting wood !!!

Bought a bandsaw blade from CARBA-TEC today and this evening fitted the blade onto the saw, made some adjustments and turned on the power - it works !!!



No blade guards as yet so stood BEHIND the saw and did some test cutting - elation!

Bandsaw 23 - More test cutting

No blade guards as yet so stood BEHIND the saw to do some test cutting – is good!

Back soon...

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.
