6X4 Bandsaw Mod

(1/6) > >>

mfletch:
Just got myself a 6X4 Bandsaw so looked how to improve it a little.

I know these bandsaws have been modded before but I've not seen this mod before so hope it helps others who like the mod.

When you need to load stock for cutting you have to hold the blade up and manually make it safe with the rear latch so decided to make this automatic making it much easier and safer, any way here's the pictures

Don't know what happened to the pics so I will try again

















The latch is spring loaded so it engages the latch on lifting the arm up and all you do is push the rod to disengage the latch and if you don't want to use the latch it can be locked in the down position

Fletch....

I like that. I agree with your sentiments on loading material now you have this delightful adjustable arm to help you.

Well done old boy........  Anthony.

Nice work on a mod for this popular, and in my mind, vital shop tool :clap:

Cheers,

Last week I bought one of the Axminster Tools version of these 6" x 4" bandsaws for £ 180.00 secondhand.

I look forward to it being delivered some time this week and then I'll be going through all the usual mods to improve accuracy and performance.
Do any other forum members own or have experience with this model?
