Milo update

Milo is back home!!! after being away for one week at the vet with acute kidney failure - OMG. Basically culminated to a 24hr live or die call - that's scary! We figure he's used about half of his nine tickets. Did not post anything so as not to upset people but all is well now - so here's the post.

It's good to be back home folks.

Bandsaw 27 – Upper blade cover

Bandsaw 26 - Temporary table

Friday is cleaning day so got my part of that chore done so I can head off to the workshop for a little session before I take Holly for her rehab walk.

As I said before this is only a temporary table so I can start cutting wood! Found a nice clip-on halogen lamp to light the work area - perfect.

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...
