8” Bandsaw 3 - Upper wheel mount assembly.

As mentioned in the previous post the main frame consists of four 17mm Melamine panels sandwiched together – 68mm total.

On the left is 1 & 4 (front & back) and on the right inside panels 2 & 3.

8” Bandsaw 2 - Wheel bearings

As mentioned worked out how to mount the skateboard bearings (with those bloody flanges) onto the Melamine bandsaw wheels. We can now get started actually building the thing.

Made some laminate flooring washers that have been recessed to house the outside of the bearings.

8” Bandsaw 1 – New project

Decided to build a 8" bandsaw so let's start collecting the bits.

Eight bearings for $10.

Skateboards are a source for bearings, two per wheel gives you eight 608 bearings - 22mm OD/8mm ID

Bought two skateboards from Kmart for $10 each and when I pulled one apart discovered that they have a bloody flange on them! I'll return the other one for a refund and try one of the other stores.
