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...

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...

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...

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

which is it?

KITY CK26 Combination Woodworking Machine. Rarely used piece of kit in excellent condition. The person that had it before me used it solely for the planer function, and I only used it for the past few months for spindle moulder. I’m only selling now as I have a dedicated bandsaw, Planer and a...

Evening all, I’ve been trying to rebuild my old KITY 636 planer on my bestcombi or 5in one, or whatever folks call it and I’ve run in to a slight problem. When I installed the anti kick back rollers, I must be installing them incorrectly as when a pice of wood is fed in to the Thicknesser, it...

Evening all, I have some scraps pieces off 2x4 green Oak and I thought that I'd try and make a small box for someone with them. So, I picked out a piece which has been outside in my wood pile, that was straight and in excellent condition, and preceded to cut it down to size. I managed to get...

Evening all, I’ve just discovered that my Startrite 352 bandsaw was modified some time back, whereby someone replaced the original dual v-belt pulley with a single pulley. Naturally this means that its stuck on low speed. Can someone give me the diameter of the pulley and I’ll see if I can get...

I just want to say that my new (well old) Startrite 352 is effing brilliant, and I don’t know why I didn’t get a proper bandsaw earlier. For years Ive struggled with an old Axminster (rebadged Jet) 14” unit which was under powered, but this is like night and day. I stuck a 3 TPI Tuff saw blade...

Evening all, I've just picked up a Startrite 352 Bandsaw from a liquidation sale, and the starter key is missing. Are they generic across models and easily obtained, or unique. I know that it did work as it came from a company that was in business last month. The blade door locks are opened so...

I found this item amongst a canvas roll containing a brace and various bits, and I am stumped as to what you'd use this for? any ideas?

Does anyone know within the Norfolk area where I can get a spur gear made up for my old Ridgeway morticer? or Failing that, where I can get a replacement from? I foolishly stripped the teeth trying to mortice oak with a blunt auger, so consequently something was going to give. I don’t want to...

Good evening all, apologies of this has been posted on the wrong section, but it’s the one that I thought most relevant. I recently acquired a KITY K5 in excellent condition all round, but after transporting it home, I discovered two spare parts in my box of bits that I can’t for the life of me...
