Thanks Robin. 1) I could do that. I’ll post results. 2) This bandsaw has 710mm wheels so should cope with a 20mm. 25mm might push it. 3) I had the same blade riding on the crown and then moved it over as Felder suggested. No real difference in wobble though as tech was hoping. 4) Yes it is to...

Unfortunately this was the new blade but I can try another. It can’t hurt. Thank you for your suggestions.

Thank you for the tips and I think your appraisal sounds pretty fair. I’ll take some videos tomorrow when back in the shop and post them here.

When you say "noticed", if you are near your saw, or going to it in the near future, could you double check? Just focus on the blade passing through the table and see if see any swaying from side to side and or slight flapping. Again, we all assume things that may turn out to be otherwise...

Hi Vulcan. Thanks for responding. That’s an interesting video but does not address how much a bandsaw should or shouldn't vibrate and or how much blade flapping if any, is acceptable. I’m not looking for ‘how to videos’ as I've watched all of them. I’m looking for real world feedback...

Thanks Spectric I have watched those videos by Peter and have spoken to Peter directly about the issue I mentioned here. Peter’s videos do not go into how much a machine should vibrate and or how much blade wobble is acceptable, if any. They are more generic ‘set-up’ videos, which are great...

Yes bought from new. When you say ‘shouldn’t move at all’ is this the experience you have with your bandsaw? Not even in the slightest? Not even a fraction? Sorry Phil I don’t mean to be pedantic. Just trying to separate out those who ‘believe’ from those who ‘I just turned my bandsaw on and...

Hi All I have an FB710 Felder bandaw 2023 model and seem to be having some set up issues. This is my first bandsaw so not really sure what to expect. I've probably used it to for about an hour in total so far. I noticed that the blade seems to flap a lot from side to side, when the machine is...

I purchsed my CNC from a father and son team based in Hull. They are called Jazz CNC I did thorough research and found them to very knowledgable Most CNC companies buy from china, kick the tyres and send it on to you, with a nice mark up for said kicking. No doubt they offer some or good...

I fully agree and understand that, as someone who studied music. When the conversation crosses over (as it often does) into the realm of “don't buy one make one, I made mine and it only cost me x”, that’s a different discussion imo and warrants a cross examination on ‘real’ costs and...

The down side with CI is that it has to be seasoned and machined flat to begin with and the most commonly sold CI tables, are by the likes of Axminster. There’s can be all over the place and start off less flat than a well supported phenolic, mdf or valcromat table. I think a well braced table...

one or two posts debating with someone the merits of a home made build vs buying, in a thread about router quality, is not a really a derail. Maybe a side discussion that if left to a few posts, is pretty harmless. It is true though my comments have sparked a discussion that have snowballed...

The reason why I posted what I have is to open a discussion on the value of things. A plurality of ideas and approaches to things is important. It’s not about who’s right or wrong. My passion is modern British industrial design (1950’s) and I have collected quite a few books from that period...

I agree that a retired person doesn’t have to consider his or her time, in such a manner but too many people do not consider their time In such a manner. For example, you’re a single person so your time is linear. If you’re working on ‘x’ than you cannot be working on ‘y’. You don't have other...

That was taken into consideration in my post. I totalled 2-3 days work at 150 a day, plus materials. That comes to roughly £550 I claimed he could buy that table and still be quids in. Your appraisal of the selling price confirms my comment. That’s if you agree with £150 a fay over 3 days in...

It cost you more than £100 Sounds like it took you about 2-3 days to build . If you value your time at say £150-200 a day, that’s a £500 table on average. So real costs is about £600. I once watched a youtube video where this american was bragging about how you can make a bench for $150 He had...

‘Buy cheap buy twice’ I’m afraid. You should try the ‘buy once, cry once’ next.

Yeh you got it. It’s quite cool to see it make the cut. I now use a CNC machine and have the Lamello cutters on CNC. Regarding small or large workshops. A workshop and your ability to do work, is based on what you buy and therefore what you can do. I didn’t have any work as a paint sprayer...

I’m not sure how you would turn a normal biscuit joiner into a zeta joiner by simply adding a cutter. What makes the zeta cutter add a trough at the back of the cut, for the connecter to fit into, is a mechanical movement in the machine. It’s perfectly reasonable to make a cost benefit...

I have made a veneer cutting appliance for my bandsaw. It’s totally over built, far more over engineered than anything I’ve seen on the market; for example it vacuum clamps the wood to the fence. What I noted in my research about how to bandsaw wood veneers, is that Americans in particular like...
