Bandsaw Conversion
#1
Has a HF 14 inch wood cutting bandsaw laid in my lap. I wanted to convert it to a metal cutter. I had to stop this project for lack of a milling machine. That problem has been solved.

#1 Where we are at to this point
#2New Blade Guides made in house by me
#3 60:1 gear reduction unit
#4 Blade Tension/Trackin Unit

I will post pics of the new Table Trunions being made later today.

Finished blanks ready to drill. I do not need the tilt so these will be stationary. More later.

Thanks Ed. Here is a shot of the center cams to compensate for different blade thicknesses.

Table with trunions installed. Tomorrow we bolt it to its mount. 2 bolts to go for that and the table is a done deal.
