Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw

the table tilt mechanism is positioned way at the back, mainly in the outfeed area, so tilting the table is kind of awkward. Also the tightening mechanism is that black knob, and its only one.

The table WILL pivot left to right if coaxed but will NOT tilt. Hence a fence can be thrown out of alignment, I am sure there is a way to make this more rigid. But rest assured since it dont tilt when fixed into position, hence all cuts will be squared on

bearing guides, i think they are carbon, I will let t he pictures describe themselves

bottom bearing guide

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw

NOw here is the upper wheel, When i tested the co-planarity of the wheels, the lower wheel was out towards the infeed side by half an inch more than the upper wheel, You see those 4 bolts? they hold that rectagular plate that holds the pillowblock of the upper wheel. I took out those bolts then shimmed it with washers BEHIND the plate, Worked perfect

this adjusts the tracking of the upper wheel. Tracking is where you adjust the tilt of the wheel in order to have the blade resting in the center. Only adjust when blade is already tensioned.

lower wheel, it cant be tracked ( i think its the same for all) and co-planarity cant be adjusted, but in my case it didnt matter

See the brush? its essential to keep the rubber on the wheels clean, i will be upgrading this

There is a lever on the right side to loosen that rotationg cylindrical thing in order to change the speed setting....

fence can be adjusted for drift angle

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw

this is under the left hand side of the table (infeed orientation) This is like the stops in a table saw, This one is for 0 degrees. I dont think there is a stop for 45 degrees

both top and bottom wheel compartments have this, Its a safety release button thingymajig. Basically it keeps the bandsaw from powering up if the compartments are open

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw

pwede rin ba sa metals yan bee?

Yup pwede, just change the blades 🙂 according to the store

Ang hindi ko lang alam is if 1hp is good enough for metals. I mean i think it will cut, but with how much effort i dont know...

with wood its quite effortless
