    Bandsaw mine field which one do I buy

    Hi gaci, welcome to the forum. On a new model, Record will give a longer guarantee and they are good on backup and service. There are many reviews of different models on this forum that may help you, so make a search. The more homework you do before you buy will pay dividends. If you can find...

    Snapped Tuff Saw Blade - :-(

    Just been looking at the first photo again. Looks like the cut is in two directions rather than straight curve and could account for the very wide kerf? Probably my poor eyesight. ? :roll: :?: :?: Malcolm

    Snapped Tuff Saw Blade - :-(

    Hi Adrian, burning will only take place if you are rurning too tightly, OR because the blade is not cutting completly vertically, as any 'offset' would cause more friction in the wood. I constantly use a 1/4" 14tpi or less and rarely go to a deeper blade unless I am cutting the full width of a...

    Snapped Tuff Saw Blade - :-(

    Would be better with a 14TPI, as I use all the time. Ther blaqde you are using would be more for much deeper cuts. The 14TPI is a much smoother cut. Malcolm

    Bandsaw set up pix ?

    HIn Tony, that hour is not wasted at all. Time taken to learn a skill; is well worth it and it has shown you that the correct tension is so important. Thats why setting up without any guides anywhere near the blade is essential. I made exactly the same mistakes you have made when I started and...

    Home Tuition

    Mrs C, perhaps your friend could consider offering his services to the education authority or sixth form college. Possibly they could run a woodworking course, or do at present. A skilled cabinett maker may well be welcomed on a part time basis, which may fill your friends need? Malcolm

    Is there even a Demand for Good Quality Timber?

    Yandles have the best selection of timber I have seen, that you can closely inspect, but Sykes Timber in Atherstone do have huge supplies and are more local to me. Malcolm

    £1 kerf gauge

    Went to Lloyds bank today to get new £1's. Told that haven't got any and would only get them in if ordered by them when running out of old £1's. I suppose they know what they are doing?

    anyone had success with homeade bandsaw tyres?

    Without the right tyres, you are unlikely to get good results that will last. Have you tried to google for spares, although the age of the maching may be against you. Malcolm

    Two sizeable peices of equipment delivered from Record were brought into my garage when delivered. Have a word with Record immediatly as this is an important matter and I would never have anything delivered that was not placed where I wanted it. That machine is too heavy and my BS400 heavier...
