14” Bandsaw – Finish mounting flanges

Finished mounting the bearing flanges on the second wheel.

Last one for final glue and screw.

We have a guest staying at Meadowbrook Mansion for a few days, her name is Willow from Botanic Ridge.



14" Bandsaw – V-belt pulley

Setting up a router jig to make the V-groove pulley. The first wheel becomes the upper wheel. After this the pulley is removed and screwed to the second wheel and the process is repeated. The pulley remains on the second wheel which becomes – the lower wheel.

Having mounted the bearing flanges on both wheels and as mentioned in the previous bandsaw post I now need to make a temporary drive pulley or doughnut with a V-groove so I can spin each wheel from the saw motor to true the circumference for run-out with a wood chisel. For this sort of stuff you must have a router mounted in a router table. The ALDI setup is OK for my needs - with modifications.

14” Bandsaw – First wheel second flange

We can now mount the second flange, the clamps here go through onto the one I did this morning.

Another new toy for kitties.
