Telstra/NBN speed check

Looks OK for the Xmas peak period.




14” Bandsaw – Turning the second wheel

Yesterday I turned the first wheel for run-out and cut a crown on the rim. For this session we repeat the procedure for the second wheel.

This is the first wheel put aside, time to mount the second one on the wood turning jig clamped to the workbench.

Christmas 2017



14" Bandsaw – Wood turning setup

All setup to turn the wheel and cut a crown.








As mentioned in the previous post I had to swap over the setup to have the wheel on the right so it's spins down onto the wood chisel which is supported by the 'tool rest'.

14" Bandsaw - wheel video clip


14" Bandsaw – wood turning jig setup

Time to setup the saw motor with a V-belt to drive the first wheel for wood turning and cutting a crown on the circumference.

The V-groove drive ring is screwed on, now to mount the wheel on the jig shaft.

Another new toy for kitties.
