14” Bandsaw – Motor for saw

This is the motor I will be using, a 1200W unit from a ALDI GardenLine water pump.

I would love to buy one of their motors as well but a 1.5HP 4 pole is around $200 dollars.

14” Bandsaw – Cutting discs 3 & 4

Back to cut discs 3 & 4 which will make the second wheel

Entertainment Unit

That was put out for hard waste collection in the Rowville area somehow found it's way into the back of my KIA Pregio van and into the Meadowbrook Mansion workshop.

Perfect for the just completed 8” bandsaw.

14” Bandsaw - New Project

Just finished the 8” bandsaw and decided to build another 14" bandsaw to replace the one lost in the 2016 shed fire that took around 7 months to build.

I will be using the 8" bandsaw (see previous posts) to build this one. To get started went looking for and found enough Melamine particleboard (16mm) to cut 4 x 14" discs which will make 2 wheels each 32mm wide - more on this later.

We need to cut 4 of these on the mini band saw so start by trimming them on the table saw.

Draft Waste Management Strategy

Thinking we might go for Option 2: New Enhanced Service with hopefully 50% pensioner discount.

Council seeks feedback on its Draft Waste Management Strategy including community preferences on two hard waste collection options. In our most recent consultation with Monash residents, you told us you would prefer the flexibility of an at-call service for hard waste collection.

8” Bandsaw - Finished lower blade guides

Finished off the lower blade guide assembly.

Put the table back on to do some test cutting.

8” Bandsaw – Lower blade guides continued

With bearing guides above and now below the table the blade should hold it's course even better on the cut line.
