bandsaw

Hi guys had to re register as forum didn’t recognise me e Mail address As Eamonn said I am slowing down with me pens want to get back to making and turning other things been making pens every day for a good few years now as fundraisers for our veterans and want to spend me last few years making...

Whilst I was banned woodworking etc following a heart op I spent many hours flat on my back surfing the net and you tube and decided that once I got back in the workshop I would have a go at bandsaw boxes. (Also I was getting bored with pens … Heresy I know). So in order of learning and many...

So my 20 year old Record RDX800i extractor seems to have died. I'll be ringing Record tomorrow but my question is ... If it is a gonna what to get next. Iv'e used it solely for the bandsaw for quite a few years but am thinking if I get a nice shiny new extractor I could move my lathe...

Made another box this time I faced the drawers with 3mm Purple Heart to give a contrast. The insides I finished with suede tec with works very well but the glue leeched through the masking tape in parts and into the wood. It sinks in deep and is a devil to remove hence the traces of blue.

I quite like these bandsaw boxes. This one isn’t what I’d class as good but I’m treating it as a learning curve. The next one will be better

Have been promising to sort some seats for the garden and have finally sorted it so hopefully I have plenty of credits to my name!! maybe even enough for a pressure pot!!! we will see. Or at least a bandsaw ?

Probably moving a bit fast as i only got my lathe on wed evening, but I did have a bandsaw, so had to have a play with it managed to cut some veneers out of pine, not perfect but close enough for a try, i used the bandsaw for cutting the blanks, but think i will get the scroll saw sorted before...

Got my bandsaw sorted so i thought I would get my scroll saw up and running ( got it from the same guy as the bandsaw) A quick look at the hegner site confirms I am missing some parts, these parts are available at a price so was wondering if anyone has maybe moved to a better scroll saw and has...

Ok pulled the bandsaw apart, cleaned and oiled everything, then rebuilt it with all the guides etc in the proper places Then cut some teak blanks, i wetted 3 of them down to try to show the grain, all I need to do now is go pick up my lathe The blanks are 16 x16 mm x 6 inch if anyone wants a...

Just been given a Tool King 7 1/2 inch bandsaw anyone out there have any info on them have tried web search but nothing is coming up Cheers Ray

Im having real issues with keeping my bandsaw supplied with blades - Im generally having to buy a new blade every month or so and Im not sure what is going wrong. The last blade I got from Tuffsaw started to wander when ripping some iroko and the more cuts I did the worse it got until I...

I had a bit of turning disaster yesterday not only did I manage to glue my bushings in to a tube my head stock and tail where out of line and I managed to turn don to the tube on one side of the blank. So I spent the early part of today realigning the centres then decided to take a break from...

Got a SIP 10 inch bandsaw on my local gumtree at £50 its the bench top version, question is are they any good ??? Cheers Ray

Not sure if folks have seen this but it's the best way I've found of setting up my bandsaw. The Best Way to Set Up a Bandsaw! - YouTube

Afternoon all, This is really a question to those of you who make up segmented pens. What type of saw do you use to cut the segments - bandsaw, table saw etc. I'm looking at the Axminster HBS200N or the Proxxon MBS 240E as two mini bandsaws with good specs and thin blades. Or what would you...

Hi everyone I need a bit of help with this one. My 84 year old student has a Sheppach Basato Bandsaw and the blade guides are in need of replacement. In All there are 6 guides (3 top and 3 bottom) which support the blade from either side and the rear of the blade both above and below the cutting...

Well at last me bandsaw arrived it was a bit of a struggle unpacking it and getting it from the pavement round to me workshop in the back garden so I have spent the morning setting it up and I must say I am well pleased with it I cut up some 8" thick wood that I have wanted to cut up for ages...

I have gone and got a record bandsaw today been looking for a long time and doing a lot of research and I have brought this record bandsaw happy days has cut every thing I have asked of it so far but to be fair I haven't cut much with it Where do people recommend for bandsaw blades Cheers...

After busting my bandsaw blade which incidentally used to cut my acrylic blanks a treat I went ahead and order what I thought was the same type blade (6 tpi x 1/4 in) off the internet. Turns out I ordered something that lumberjacks use for cutting down giant redwoods ! It looks more like a rip...
