Let's see your bandsaw

This is my homemade 6" x 10" that I put together a year or so ago.
9 1/2" wheels trued up on my SB9. Hydraulic down feed actuated with a solenoid, it's coil in parallel with the motor windings.
A calibrated blade pressure adjuster. Also a bypass for quick positioning of the blade and an auto shutoff.
6203-2rs bearings in the upper wheel and the main shaft for the arm. 6000-2rs bearings for the blade guides with eccentric offsets for blade width adjustment.
Three speeds. 80, 140 and 210 FPM.

Nice job Glen. Did you make the wheels also?

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, I built the wheels as well. I rolled the outer rims and welded them up to the inner hubs. I trued them up in my SB9 lathe and then turned the top wheel for the bearings and the bottom for the gearbox output shaft.
I vulcanized 1/4" x 1" tires (made from tarp strap) to the rims and trued them up with a Dremel tool clamped stationary while rotating the wheels.

Good job Glen! I too, made my own bandsaw (there may be a few pics on here somewhere). I only used three spokes for each wheel and didn't bother with tires for the wheels.
Other than that the size is similar.
Are we Canucks into building our own bandsaws? Thumbsup

Yes, we've been diversifying as of late. Besides, we can increase our hockey stick production with better tools Smile

Glen, you forgot to mention that we extract the maple syrup from the offcuts of the hockey stick manufacture. Rotfl Rotfl

Not a bandsaw, but this is the closest sub-forum.  1914 power hacksaw originally powered by a line shaft.
