Bandsaw - diy.

<< < (3/3)

NeoTech:
It seems like i should cast the wheels for this thing myself. Would be easier to get larger sized wheels that way.. Or just weld them up from rolled steel.

But yeah a 24" throated version is what will work best for me, i can make it so it fit my ceiling height (180cm) and it can be easily rolled to the side standing on casters..

AR1911:
My vertical bandsaw is one of the ubiquitous 14" wood saws.  Actually, mine is a 1990 Jet variant Wood/Metal, though the minimum speed was only suitable for aluminum. By substituting a 60 RPM gearmotor for the original 1725 RPM motor, and eliminating the step pulleys, I got to 110 FPM for less than $150. Works great.  That same saw is sold at HF and most other import tool dealers.
