I replaced those on my Elektra Bekum recently - tyres from Bedford Saws. I think that all of the bases are covered in comments above.

SVB Very nice tool. Could you share how you made the blade, please.

End of post?

Woodchippy777 You keep repeating that you want the "the top edge butt joint angle" but you fail to identify which angle this is on your sketches. If you really do want help with this, then I think that you should be willing to identify the angle when requested to.

Which angle is the "top edge butt joint angle". Are the angles of 60, 63.4 and 26.6 given angles. Such a limited view of the item does not help me much. Is anyone else clearer about the matter?

As previously stated, a sketch would be helpful. What is it you are after, other than trig equations that you already use/know?

A video of it being used would help to understand how it works - would also help in suggesting improvements.

I no longer have the standard fence - I changed it for a home made one following Steve Maskery's design. I incorporated his 'micro adjustment' system too. Both have prooved to be very good.

I have the BAS 316 - this is my method to get a straight cut (i.e parallel to the fence). 1. Align the fence to the mitre slot - this is so that :- a. You will be able to use the mitre slot for square cross cuts. b. The mitre slot becomes a fixed reference if the fence gets...

Thanks to all for your replies.

Which is your preffered pad saver and brand of abrasive discs for this sander?

The cross-hatch plastic is probably there to prevent someone putting their hand inside. I think it is worth removing this to see the effect

I think £250 is a good price (depending on condition). I bought my 316 about 5 years ago, for £200. I have replaced the guide bearing blocks etc - bought this kit Blade Guide Upgrade Kit For - Elektra Beckum BAS 315 & 316 Bandsaws. Tuffsaws blades. Homemade fence - Steve Maskery design. Align...

I think it could be a counterboring drill bit. The smaller diameter part, pilots in an existing hole, and the larger diameter cuts a counterbore. It might be a metalworking drill and used when counterboring for socket head capscrews.

Welcome.

I mounted that model router onto a UJK plate and used the Woodrat plungebar to lift and lower the spindle PlungeBar — WoodRat . At approx £40 it is considerably cheaper. It is a coarse, but quick adjustment. Fine adjustment is achieved by using a box spanner on a replacement nut on the height...

Disinterior Many thanks.

'bout ye. Excellent - I will pm my address when you confirm that you have one.

Does anyone know the spec for the blade clamping screw, and is it RH or LH thread? I am struggling to remove the screw, to change the blade, and the hex socket in the screw seems to be soft. I will have to replace the screw, so if anyone knows where I can get a replacement, I would very much...

Bunsen Can you send some pics of where you are setting the blade on the tyre - it might help in getting a solution.
