Taiwan metal cutting bandsaw
This might be of interest to one of you (handy) folks within 50 miles or so of the Detroit area. I have had the bandsaw shown in my shop tour for about 6 or 7 years. I have probably spent 2 weeks of 24 hour days of that time trying to keep the blade from jumping off the wheels. I am out of ideas and inspiration, so I am parting company with it. If one of you wants a mechanical engineering challenge, it's yours for $50. |

It crossed paths on the shop stairway with a Wilton Tradesman bandsaw. History. |

I use the same Taiwan type saw and for a long time thought that I just didn't have it adjusted correctly. I finally gave up adjusting and eventually will go the route that you have described. It has been a cheat tool and performs like one. Gary |

No, it also sucks canal water through a tin horn. |

Good choice Don, I've had my eye on that one-someday soon. I remember a post a while back about one of the overseas metal bandsaws having the same problem. He gave it to his friend who moved the bottom pulley 1/4" and it's OK now. My friend has the Tradesman, one turn of a gear and the speed is changed. Runs true and tracks well, too. |
