Danged - he gets a gold star for doing that without bloodletting!
The wider the blade the more skill you need to reduce blood letting.. you get it down. My young sawmill guy does it with i think 190" 2 tpi 1.5 wide blades. Never seen any blood.

I made all adjustes as Alex Snodgrass explained is his vídeo.

All tolerances using a feeler gauge...some tell use a business card or a Dollar bill folded...the bearing life will be clear for me when I start to use ....I hope next week.


I checked if an after market bearing kit is avaible to my machine for the future necessity....I can't find yet.

Today I did the first cuts and liked a lot the machine itself and dust collection.

I am mounting the cyclone system.The bottle Idea is very nice.I did it for test but I am thinking in use a PVC pieces soon.


My last time using a bandsaw was 20 years ago...I need the learn curve again.


The dust is less than I expected.

I need more cuts to check how effective the system will be but the initial job was very good.

Checking the blade

Hello folks...I am doing a final steps at my dust collector and after put the machine at final spot.

At my first cut I used the vac directly without use cyclone system.
Yesterday during final test the bucket was folded during test.
So because of too much negative pressure I take off the cap in front blade and now everything is ok.

Too much

Normal

I am still working in my handle jig to cut some pieces.
In Brazil a wooden pallet (only one use they call here) cost $4US.
My friend wants to make a bench like these.
We choose six and I saved one for me.
They are super clean and brand new .From India.
To me the best are from Canada (nice pine) and US.Made in Europe are nice too but that block (no wood) I hate .
I use a car jack to help me take the wood free from nails. By hand or drill/impact driver.

Pallet bench:


I use one piece for make the guide of my bandsaw jig.

New and clean

The lock at wheel can be something like this:
Just loose the screw "C" and turn.
I believe I"ll use only 1/4" and 1/2" blades for this jig.
