Hi Matthias this is awesome, thank you for the great ideas! One question: with the advent of DIY 3d printers, DIY CNC and similar stuff would you consider changing and simplifying your design to make use of the (now) readily available cheap parts like aluminum guides, slots, linear bearings, etc? Keep up the great content!
(Again not on topic) Thanks for your response Matthias. That is sort of what I was afraid of. I can buy a decent replacement contractor saw for not much money and replace the fence and rail from the Delta and still be ahead. However, that's a lot of scrap metal that bothers me.
Hi Matthias (Not on topic) I have a Delta Hybrid table saw, much like the one you recently bought. Mine is older, model 36-653C, and I bought it for $175. A bargain, I thought. Now I'm not so certain. The bearings seem to be shot on the blade arbour and I can't see a way to remove it. I called Delta and they weren't much help. I think I need to remove the 1/2" pin from the cast part that contains the blade arbour, but it doesn't line up properly. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Ron Stacy in Summerland BC
I've never tried wooden side guides. I am skeptical about how long they would last, especially when doing intricate curves. My ancient three wheeler uses solid bronze guides and I'm lucky to get them to last five minutes. The ball bearing ones look good though. Simpler is always better.
A useful tip, that I saw elsewhere on youtube; When tapping a thread, put the tap in a pillar drill, and turn the chuck by hand, to ensure that the tap starts perpendicular to the work. Once its started, then the thread can be completed in the normal way. Its not a good idea to use drywall screws for anything other than drywall, in most applications, because they are very brittle, and will often snap. Amazing projects, I find them very interesting.
Wendel good Very interesting am am Brazilian I live in Brazil after years working in construction after that moment that the country is passing is unemployed and decided to work with wood will continue to see their work as they are very good . congratulations
I think in the long run, mounting the bearing sideways behind the blade has another advantage. Under load while using the saw it will abrade the edge evenly, whereas with the bearing mounted in the 'intuitive' way, it will probably form a kerf in the bearing surface. Not sure if it actually abrades enough to have this become a problem over the lifespan of the saw.
However, I'm curious Matthias. I think using the blocks of wood there is a chance that when there is too much side-force (blade drift for example), the blocks will bind to the blade, shift, and then thus pinch the blade? Wouldn't it be safer to use hardwood wheels? It's a more complex mount, because you'd need a separate positioning mechanism. Alternative would be to round over the top of the hardwood blocks blade side into a circle originating from the shortest mounting point in the slot. This way it will always clear when a block gets pulled out of alignment.
@Matthias Wandel I often see you threading directly into the wood or drilling a undersized hole and screwing the bolt directly in there. Why don't you use Screw In Nuts? (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampamuffe) Theese should last way longer than a thread in the wood and are very easy to handle.
Another interesting project but, the problem I see with this bandsaw is, it just does not have enough mass weight to make it a solid machine. I suppose one could bolt it to the floor but, that would be a pain in a small shop where your tools have to stay mobile. I guess I am somewhat biased, coming from a machining background, where all the machinery is very heavy to minimize vibration. That being said…these are still fun and interesting projects to build if you have the time and patience to do so. You do a great job of explaining the details, Matthias.
Matthías good afternoon, with the taste of greeting, and say that the design you have in The band saw is great and I am very worry and motivated to jump-start your idea and make a copy of yours. One would have to have the action or your plans to undertake Making a. I am a man of 74 years but I was born to do things and this project would be well occupied 1st get cough accessories your illustrious, here in Mexico is not so easy to find things, so I commented and asked: do you sell your plans for the project from the bandsaw?I hope your answer is everything and that God will continue to bless your talent. because remember that Jesus was a carpenter. thank you very much

This is my favorite video

Excellent, thank you.
Can you use UHMW blocks instead of exotic hardwood?
Seems like a whole lot of work for something that could be done with just a bearing mounted on each side of the blade
hi very Innovative
Trying to find the bearings online. Any guidance?
Matthias, you are the infernooo!!!!
Matthias você é genial Parabéns. (Brasil)
Matthias you are genius Congratulations
do you have plans for it pls
Master of masters! Marvel work, the accuracy of the work is worthy of an Oscar …

Hello, I bought the plans for the bandsaw but I was a bit disappointed that this design was not in there.
Can you make the cad design available?
It looked like a Makita saw rather than a Skilsaw.
9 minutes 11 seconds you split the wood with the second screw! lol thanks for the vids you do some amazing work
Not brief
8:54, 9:15 did any1 else saw the wood cracks or Im not seeing right?
very nice
Wendel good Very interesting

What kind of Thrust Bearing are you using?

First of MW videos I didn't understand one bit. But Like!
Regarding noise, wouldn't it be possible to use (maybe flattened) rollerskater wheels in the blade guide ?

thank you very much
I used lignum vitae.
Just look at store bought ones ill see
Ok were is in find pretty wood at , lol
good job! what type wood you made this saw from?
