Thanks from Yorkshire Colin, concise, brief and accurate. My bandsaw now actually cuts...

@ericpatton7653 Год назад

Thank you so much! I just bought my first bandsaw (used) and it cuts wood fine but clearly needs some adjusting. This video was straight to the point and told me everything i was wondering about, clearly. Thank you again!

@johnvodopija 5 лет назад

I have to agree this is a very good video. Short and to the point. I now feel confident to adjust my bandsaw so it is setup correctly. It definitely needs blade tensioning. Thank you Colin 👍😎🇦🇺

Thank You!

This is still by far the best video for the bandsaw novice using an entry level machine. Thankyou Colin I have made a lot of progress with my bandsaw today.

@daltonvickers7977 8 лет назад

I thank you for your beginner series videos. They have really helped me. Things are a lot more enjoyable when someone shows you some of the basics. Thanks

I got a miter saw 2 years ago, and I’ve loved it. Got a band saw this year- I’m gonna fire it up for the first time today.

@NathanMan 7 лет назад

Colin you have made my day just bought my first bandsaw, and was having a nightmare getting the saw on the Axel until I saw this video , thanks again 🙂

@markharris5771 5 лет назад

Mine is arriving tomorrow morning, so this was super useful. Thank you.

@bestechnology 5 лет назад

Great, I can't thank you enough. I hope you received some kind of compensation for this excellent answer to my question about how to fix this misalligned band-saw. Thank you again.

@josephlangford6473 7 лет назад

Thank you. You are the best! I can not begin to tell you how much your videos have helped me. Thanks again.

@keithnoneya 7 лет назад

Thanks i've had a band saw for years and have not had very good luck getting it to cut straight. I think now I know what I've been doing wrong all these years. Thanks for the education. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith

@chris_thornborrow 5 лет назад

another perfect video Colin. My first bandsaw just arrived and this video could not have been clearer.

thanks so much for your videos. So helpful

@mriguy3202 4 года назад

This video is very helpful to show principles of bandsaw adjustment. The bandsaw can be adjusted in many more ways than a table saw or other saws, and all those adjustments matter, so if some people are still having trouble with their saw cutting straight, square, and quiet they might dig a little deeper in the much longer videos such as those by Alex Snodgrass. I had a problem with my new-to-me saw that I could not figure out, and it ended up to be an adjustment on the table. The table can be adjusted for tilt, position (L-R and in-out) and twist (the table groove and the fence are parallel to the blade).

@mykhall688 10 лет назад

i have an old craftsman that i picked up for a few dollars. you just helped me not scrap it. it does not have a knob to tilt the wheel, it has a screw in the middle of the top wheel that does the trick. thank you so much.

@knecht105 10 лет назад

Hi Myk, I also had an old Craftsman once, it was my first bandsaw and it was a junker. I took it all apart, cleaned, replaced and lubed it up and it ran like a dream. Sold it and even made a bit of money. Thanks for commenting and reminding me :) Colin

@geedubb2005 10 лет назад

this works! I adjusted mine after watching a similar video. I fought my saw and I was ready to dump it until I made these simple adjustments, and it solved my issues. Thanks for sharing Colin

@knecht105 10 лет назад

Thanks for commenting, always love it when people share things that work with others, great to have you with us :) Colin

@geedubb2005 10 лет назад

It's my pleasure!

@whips9592 5 лет назад

thank you for this vid I set my band saw up the right way . thank for your help

@mc4kvb 6 лет назад

This was great info for me as I am a beginner and only have had my band saw for a month or so. To me it seemed like it needed adjustment because the blade moved and now seeing your video I know it needs adjusting so tomorrow I will be doing what you just showed me. Thanks Colin.

@knecht105 6 лет назад

You're welcome, Becky!

@PeterPasieka 6 лет назад

OMG I have the exact same bandsaw! This is very helpful.

@knecht105 10 лет назад

Hi Pete, thanks for taking the time Colin

@SuperDavidBrothers 5 лет назад

Also can you please do a Woodworking for Beginners video on the Scroll Saw double please?

@PiefacePete46 7 лет назад

Good clear video Colin thanks. One oversight though... you did not mention that you had backed off the blade guides before you started centering the blade. If you do not do this, you can spin the wheels all day long, but the blade may not center correctly.

@j.h.4570 5 лет назад

You can use a piece of paper or such for setting up the guide blocks and ball bearing support of the blade. Put it in between, move the guide until it touches and the paper is held between guide and blade. Tighten the block's screw, remove the paper and you're set. Playing/poker cards might work well for this i think.

@jamesathendune9026 2 года назад

Great video Colin. Any idea where I can get a Delta bushing for tension? The rubber has died. Don t want to thru out a working band saw for a bushing . Supplier says the bushing is obsolete. Band saw is a 40 year old 9 1/2 inch. I understand there are no parts available period. Any thoughts?

@charliecaltagarone9234 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I have a bandsaw that I am trying to dial in. It wants to cut crooked no matter what.

@Bearlake1624 5 лет назад

Can you do one on band saw blades please. Thank you

@steveho9884 4 года назад

Colin what is tension to 3/8 blade

@Aalsayyed 7 лет назад

dear sir thank for your explanation i have little problem on my band saw and i live oversease. the problem when i push a block of wood . the wood tend to drift from the fence. i set my wood exactly with the fence then once the blades catches the wood tend to drift and my cutting not straight.

@Trees2Pens 10 лет назад

Thank you great info... my bandsaw was a bit out of tune. Five quick adjustments and now all set.

@knecht105 10 лет назад

Thanks for commenting, yeah .. amazing how a bit of tweaking can make so much difference :)

@mc_pyro5269 9 лет назад

do you have a video on routers they are more versatile than a band saw

@4vinos 7 лет назад

Will a 62" 9" wen blade fit a Delta 9 inch shopmaster band saw? Wen 62" for the wen and 591/2" for the shopmanster. Thank you.

@frankgonzalez4397 9 лет назад

Hi Colin, I just started watching your videos. I have two Delta bandsaw that were given to me. The run fine, however the blade on both of them twists. I have tried tightening it up but either it continues to twist or snaps. Any ideas how to resolve this issue other than getting a new saw. (Also have a Ryobi that twists in the opposite direction.) Ha ha. Thank you for any help. Frank Gonzalez. P.S. Great videos, very informative.

@knecht105 9 лет назад

Frank Gonzalez Hmmm, I have not encountered that issue before. The blades could be snapping because they are to tight. A bandsaw blade (depending on thickness) needs to be tight, but to tight is not good either. If we are to diagnose this over the internet, probably better by email, you can find that on woodworkweb.com ... I think first I would check the belts, if these are old saws, probably need the belts on the wheels that hold the blades to be replace if they are hard, cracked or gone altogether. That would be my first guess.

@tommybishop192 7 лет назад

where do you get the wheels for the toys?

@JCHCREACIONES 9 лет назад

hi colin, i´m starting a work shop,and i´m buying some tools and machines, now i´m about to buy a band saw, but i found a lot off sizes and different HP power engines, and i want to ask you an advice: what kind of band saw could you recommend me?, the most comun here are the 10 " 1 3/4 HP or the 9" 1 3/4 HP , or ,do i need a bigger one?. im a begginer on wood work, and i dont want to spend some money on machines that doesnt work good. hope you could help.

@knecht105 9 лет назад

Jesus Cortes I'm sure you are aware there is very little difference between a 9" and 10" ... in this case I would choose the 10", Larger is better when it comes to band saws. To be honest, I would see if you can get a 12" or even a 14". Of course it really depends on the kind of work you will be using it for and what your budget is like. I have a 12" and 16" ... I don't use the 16" much and I find the the 12" is often too small for what I need. Hope this helps ... good luck with your search Jesus

@JCHCREACIONES 9 лет назад

hello colin, thank you very much for the advice, you're right , I better look for a 12 "or ( 14" ) which seems to be the right one , I will go to other stores and see what is available.

@knecht105 9 лет назад

WoodWorkWeb You will not be sorry you took a bit more time to look around and see what else is available

@JCHCREACIONES 9 лет назад

i will do that, thank you colin.

@sirpablo199 9 лет назад

Hello Colin I just purchased a 3 wheeled Craftsman 10" bandsaw. When cutting the blade slows down then stops. I was wondering what causes this and how to fix it. Paul

@knecht105 9 лет назад

Paul Sawyer I have not used any of the 3 wheel band saws but they tell me the 3 wheel versions can be tricky to set up ... but, you are not to that point yet as yours isn't really running. Hard to diagnose over the net, but, I would think it is either a drive belt / pulley problem, or, it is one or all of the tires on the 3 wheels, which is what I would check first. These tires need to be replace if they are mushy or have gone really hard and cracking. Let me know how that goes ... probably email is better for this

@sirpablo199 9 лет назад

Found out the problem. Thank goodness it is an easy fix. It is missing a screw I have to track down and order. Thanks for the reply. When the gear that is attached to the motor moves, the belt is not aligned. That bring why the blade stops.

@knecht105 9 лет назад

Paul Sawyer Oh good .. well that was easy, hopefully tracking down a screw or bolt will be as easy

@WWIIAddict 4 года назад

And here I was trying to shove the blade on the side of the thrust bearing 😂

@CleverPup 3 года назад

I did the same thing. Whoops! Live and learn. 😂

@SuperDavidBrothers 5 лет назад

I have 2 questions, are Bandsaws super expensive (both the big and mini Bandsaws), and what happens when you run the Bandsaw with the doors open (showing the wheels inside)?

@j.h.4570 5 лет назад

Not much will happen but you getting more sawdust on you and around than necessary ;o) Nevertheless always keep the covers on or you might hit the blade or get caught by running parts!!! That's why some bansaws (including mine) can hardly be turned on without the covers. So for safety and cleaning reasons leave them where they are supposed to be. The price for those saws depend on what you are looking for and intend to make with. Sometimes you can get a good quality brand device for a reasonable price and those old machines often are built much better than the plastic stuff you often find on the market nowadays. Just my opinion of course!!

Let me give you a heads up and go'ogle Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. I was one of the (lucky?) ones who got a chance to get a draft copy, maybe you can get a one too if you hurry! I think it’s available for anyone who’s willing to give it a look.
