Bandsaw Blade Guide theory!

[sometimewoodworker]

Well that certainly blows a few myths out of the water.

Not really what it shows is that if you riggedly clamp your workpiece to a movable sled you can safely ignore all the setup that allows your saw to cut with no drift.

But try the same setup without the (excellent) jig you will not get a result that is useable. Also with that setup the teeth with one set are going to wear faster making that blade unusable without the jig.

So if you do cutting that can use the jig and don’t mind a rather rough cut, then buy and use the jig, it looks to be a good product, most of their products are. But you will need to dedicate a blade to use with the jig, and swap in a different blade if you are not using the jig.

Now I have a 2m long very floppy saw, must be useful for something, surely? Perhaps not, into the metal recycle. Unless....

I have a couple of those. My plan is to use them in boxes for roll items like aluminium foil and cling film. The cutoff blades in the cardboard boxes aren’t good

I don't think I would buy a used bandsaw from him !

I want that sledge. Except it probably cost a fortune, and it's not clear what length it can handle.

That’s the CA$ it doesn’t include shipping with a rail extension the cut length is a little under 4’
However shipping with a couple of rails may be quite expensive

Cheers, way too rich for me as I suspected.
