14” Bandsaw – Blade tracking knob

The saw is basically finished and now has it’s own parking spot on the floor.
Got onto one of the last little jobs this afternoon, the blade tension knob which is still just a screw nut.

Marked out on some scrap MDF a 40mm radius circle, then counter punched around the circumference at 90° intervals – and the centre. Bored four 15mm holes with a Forstner bit which will provide for finger grip. Then cut out the knob on the bandsaw, yes…the saw is making it’s own parts.

Workshop Tour – Feb 2018

Spent some time over the last few days cleaning up and reorganising the workshop.  The motivation for doing this is to find a parking spot for the latest nearly completed project – the 14” bandsaw!


This is the big Ozito 12” sliding mitre saw. I was lucky to get one of the last as they don’t make 12” anymore. Thanks to Ozito (again) for tracking one down and getting one to the Bunnings Scoresby store for me to pick-up!

Cookie with my coffee

Came inside from doing stuff outside for a coffee break – and a cookie.

My personal tin of Jacobsens Bakery Denmark cookies.

14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction 2

Noticed this morning that the lower wheel cover which also serves for dust extraction is not closing flush at the bottom.

Would not have thought that the middle 3mm MDF panel is the culprit. We need to recess the bottom edge of the cover.

14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction

With the lower wheel cover done we can start thinking about dust extraction.

Another new toy for kitties.
