14" Bandsaw – More wheel work

Continued with the wheels today in two sessions posted here in one post.

Lost of hole cores for making smaller knobs.

Bella is in the front yard, she tends to wander off by herself.

Telstra customers

For those who have, or thinking of getting the Telstra TV2 puck you can now simply add Netflix to your bundled account. Personally I don’t like any of the streaming stuff and prefer the movies package that is a part of my Foxtel from Telstra bundle.

Telstra NBN speed check - still good

Interesting that customers have started complaining since Telstra implemented Unlimited (or double data) their speeds have dramatically dropped.

14” Bandsaw – Bearing flanges

After cutting the Melamine wheels the next job is to make the flanges to mount the bearings.

The bearing flange (four of them) looks like this, the 6205 2RS bearing has a OD of 52 mm so I need a hole size a bit under that as the bearing must be a press fit. Currently the only hole saw set I have is cheap one from the market for $15. The set does have a 51 mm but I suspect it's going to bore a hole that's to large.

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.
