The new bandsaw arrived this morning with a really cheerful Axminster driver who asked where the bandsaw was to be placed, "no trouble he said".
I said I had also got a mobile base and could he fit that on before we established its final resting place because of its gross weight. "no trouble he said"
He new what he was doing and it no time at all everything was upright and in position. I didnt have a bead of sweat on me, but he did, thank you Alan.
I have felt very stressful all week, but well done Axminster.
So here are a few pictures.
I had cleared the garage door end of the workshop, (the old record bandsaw left a few minutes after this picture was taken, (to family).
New bandsaw in position and on base.
Ample working space, I will be able to shoot a 7ft board through the blade if needed.
And just to show what weight we had to cope with, 5cwt net, 4cwt in position.
First question, I am requiring help, the drive belt is set to the low speed and I have got to move it over to get to the high speed. The belt is around 20mm square, and very tight.
How would you get it to change pulleys?
