    Good day everyone, I Have an abundance of 4x4 cedar posts I have saved over the years. I want to cut them into 3/8 inch planks for flooring. I have a dewalt table saw, but it is hard to push through these thick pieces (without it making me nervous). really seems to wanna kickback quite often...

    I bought a brand new 3/4" blade for my bandsaw. I set the tilt and the guides and it seemed fine until I started to add tension. The guides are the whole way out on the top and still the blade won't stay in them. It keeps working it's way to the outside of the tire as soon as I put any...

    Hello I purchased about 2 to 3 years ago the WEN 3962T (can't post link to store page because I am a new user) and ever since I purchased it, it hasn't run properly. No matter how high, low, or perfect I get the tension I will receive blade wobble. Here are the things I have done so to the...

    Hi, my Ryobi BS 900 Bandsaw blade twists when turning wood material to cut an angle in the wood. Is there a way to fix this? I know it is not supposed to happen otherwise it will be impossible to cut angles, the blade cuts fine and is thin which I understand is supposed to allow for tighter...

    I've been overhauling this bandsaw which has gone a long time with no maintenance. There is a lot of play in the drive shaft @ the lower wheel, and I'm trying to get it off in order to inspect (and probably replace) the bearings. I found that the bolt that secures the lower wheel to the drive...

    I recently sawed 100 wooden bats in half with a bandsaw sled and 1” blade. It worked perfectly and reliably each time, which was a surprise. I had little luck finding any advice on this topic before I started this project and so I just wanted to share my experience and success. These bat halves...

    I'm building out my first shop right now and have been meaning to buy a bandsaw for a while. I came across a CL post today for a 12" Delta for $20. Seems to be in decent condition and I wanted to get your guys opinion on whether it's worth taking a flyer on this thing or if it's just junk. I...

    I found a Jet 14" bandsaw (JWBS-14CS) on fb marketplace for $600 in my area. It looks in pretty good condition and includes closed stand, mobile base and extra blades. Is this a decent deal? I don't have a bandsaw yet and have been wanting to get one. I think a 14" is the size I want and I...

    I've been pounding my thumb since an early age but have all my digits, so far. Happily retired and own an old house built in the late 1870s. It was gutted out when purchased and I'm playing as time permits until it's gardening time. I've spent a number of years in Rhode Island wearing a nail...

    Does anyone own this bandsaw? If so, does anyone know how to remove the bottom wheel? I’m trying to put new tires on the wheels, but I can’t figure out how to get the lower wheel off. I’ve looked everywhere online, but nowhere have I found someone who discusses removing the bottom wheel nor...

    Reading through the bandsaw threads here. A lot of great info. Would appreciate feedback on recommendations for a saw that supports guitar building 1. Resaw depth - Guitar bodies are about 14" in width so bookmatched tops require a 7"-ish resaw. All the saws that I see do 6"... - There...

    I started doing woodworking as a hobby around one and a half year ago, mostly using driftwood. I really like it, and want to invest in this hobby and develop as a woodworker. So, I want to buy my first bandsaw, and I don't know what to look for. It should not be that heavy or expencive, since...

    I received this lathe last week as a gift. I am super excited about this but i'm having trouble identifying the model/specs. The serial number is 53-7452. Everything except a couple of handles on the tail stock are functional. Once I can identify it I can start order or fabricating parts for...

    I picked up this Delta Milwaukee bandsaw today, my first and only bandsaw, and have a couple of questions. In the 3rd image you see the gap between the cover plate and the body? Is that natural? Dust escape? The 4th image is the plug for the motor. Wtf is up with that, what I assume is some...

    Hi all, Consider me new in the band-saw world. Long story short - I can't cut a straight line to save my life, as the blade is all over the place. I don't think it's feed speed, as I can inch along and still have same problems. I have guides as close to the wood as possible, but doesn't mean...

    I just got my 14 inch Grizzly bandsaw, and after just one test run, I made a horrible mess with it. Sawdust is EVERYWHERE and I didn't realize til after that I needed to get a special dust collection tool. Any ideas on how this process works and what would be the cheapest method? I saw some...

    So I just finished watching the 35 minute Alex Snodgrass video on bandsaws. I found many parts of that video useful, although I had some things I want to bounce off of anyone here that has experience. 1.) He mentions how coplanar doesn't really exist, but every single source I see anywhere else...

    So for Christmas I got a beautiful anniversary edition grizzly bandsaw. The main problem thus far is that center cutout on the table where the blade goes. Are those things designed to be chipped? Does that hurt the blade? I was trying to do some curves last night in a 2x4 and there was a spark...
