I realize this is an old video, and you probably know by now, but a new, 3-5 tpi blade, and a quality belt would make more of an improvement than the motor swap did. Not that it isnt a great motor, it is! And you did a good job and everything. But those belts suck power bad, and your blade is shot. Especially after the test run that went backwards. That sound was your blade's teeth hitting stuff, backwards, which will murder the blade. Either way, good luck and good job with the build.
I've done two dt 100s and both swinging arm pins were a absolute nightmare to get out aswell. I know exactly how you felt when that pin finally popped out.😅
This is a very informative video as I often contemplate doing an upgrade like this. You showed the motor comparison, the problems, taught me big potential issues to watch out for etc. I really appreciate this. Something that suprised me was watching this bandsaw cut. It appears to me that my old Sears craftsman 12" tilt head and my standard model 12" craftsman both cut better than the saw in the video does.
I've got a client that wants some stairs for their kids' loft bed. This looks like the perfect example of what they are describing. I've got one question. What did you use as the rise and run for the stairs? They also have a full size bed so I'm thinking your rise and run will work well. Many Thanks!!
