Sorry, I was in a rush to post. I was looking at £300 ono and I’m Dereham, Norfolk.

Good afternoon all, I’ve decided to put my ever trusty bandsaw up for sale due to upgrading to a 3 phase model. The good bits three new blades supplied by Tuffsaws made to measure wheel base Kreg fitted bandsaw fence, swing stop and micro adjuster ( the whole lot cost £180) New Clarke 1HP...

Thanks for the reply, I managed to get it powered up yesterday, and sure enough, the wheel was freed Once I flicked the switch over. However, this identified another problem, whereby there is quite a bit of vibration on the table when it’s runnIng. I’ll have a look for that manual in the...

Evening all, I’ve managed to get my hands on an iTech BS600 bandsaw and I have a question regarding its setup. I haven’t powered it up yet as I’m waiting for my 3 phase leads to turn up, but Ive noticed that it’s nearly impossible to turn the bottom wheel In its present state. Does this have...

Thanks for all the info. Here's what my blade looks like.

I never checked the teeth, but that does make sense. The higher it's raised, the wider the cut, it's definitely a single blade, so I suspect that's what it is. I'll check tomorrow and do some test cuts when I'm back in the workshop. Cheers

Evening all, I’ve finally got to grips with my old Guillet Panel saw and I’m trying to get my head around how to setup the scoring blade or how it should operate. First off, how high should it sit? And secondly. I have read conflicting information as to the width of the cut. My scoring blade is...

I've since found out that's it's French made, Guillet Bal 21

Hmm, for some reason I can’t add photos!

Would anyone know where I can find any information on an old Guilliet Sliding Panel saw? I have one and although it works fine, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to change speeds. Theres a cut out panel on the deck, which once exposed allows access to the motor, pulley and belt, but for...

Ah yes, that didn’t occur to me. Most of the ones that I’ve seen come with 3 or 4 inch blades, which isnt suitable for me. I guess I’ll go fo for two machines.

If a Bandsaw is advertised as a resaw bandsaw, can it be utilised as a standard bandsaw for general cutting, or is its sole function is for resawing only? I’m after a large heavy duty bandsaw and don’t want to purchase two machines. thanks

Well, it has taken me all most a year, but finally I got my replacement gear at a cost of £200. That may sound steep, but I was being quoted upwards of £300-£400, with one company quoting me £500! And others after a sharp intake of breath, shook their heads and simply said ”Nah”. Considering...

which is it?

Yes it is. Cheers Rik
