This was one of my Couldujust jobs yesterday. At least the head gardener knew the approximate position where she wanted it. ;)
Not all the cable ties had been tightened...

Now that we've got a thread here too, not just in the Tinker's guild...
I've been wanting a proper metal cutting bandsaw, especially after hacksawing off s 4" SST pipe 8-(
So, after looking at about 8 million horizontal saws and 10^9 wood saws... I bought a wood saw. It's a top of the line 18"er, from someone who apparently thinks that "230 volts" in RED is what comes out of the usual USA type outlet ;-) gosh, no wonder it didnt run right!
Anyway, adding a second motor with 10:1 worm box on it for steel cutting ranges. My junk attic contributed the big DC motor and drive.
It's just dummied in place there...
Had to custom grind the tool for the poly-v belt too. My home-built tool grinder made short work of that!
More bullitens as events warrant!

Hi
Project looking good with A DC motor gearbox for cutting metal. Poly-Vee belts used for slow speeds are a good choice. Can I suggest that you can add extra contact area on the small pulley by the use of an idler pulley on the back of the belt. Added a photo of a wood bandsaw I converted to cut steel with occasional wood cutting.

A friend gave me a tin of small Bristol Ericson collets , he succumbed to the virus after his funeral I felt that I had to make a holder for the collets , a blank end arbore was bored and threaded and a nut turned from a hydraulic ram pintle , I will index some slots for a c spanner and part off tomorrow , each time I use the tool it will remind me of him .

First powered flight! Or at least rotation ;-)
I hooked up my porta-power and it runs!
