- Please don't actually burn your manual, there is a lot of important information and specifications in there! I created this series because I couldn't find any videos specifically on machine components and maintenance. I want to make this as easy as possible for you so you know what type of oil, grease, lube to get and which components should be maintained so your machines will outlive you and never let you down!

You make these Burn Your Manual vids so entertaining that I forget they are instructional! Thanks!
I appreciate that! Hopefully they help people maintain their machines!
It informs me! I may volunteer my time at the local Makersmith shop to practice these skills! Thinking of it..
🤝🤝🤝😊
Thanks for this. I just bought a used grizzly extreme today and I haven't had to do this before. This is the first thing I'm doing tomorrow.... After coffee of course.
Coffee must be first. I should have had that in the video as step one
My two take-aways: 1) use zip ties to hold the tires on while changing 2) proper way to set tension. Great video!
Yeah those are definitely the best tips. Thank you for watching 🤓
Hi - do you plan on making any more of these? Like yourself, I bought a whole shop's worth of used, Powermatic tools!
The bandsaw and Planer content you shared was spot on!!!!
I also have their Jointer, Lathe, Drumsander, and Mortiser; all of which looked like (in the background of your video) you had the exact same ones.
Thanks for reading!!!!!
Great series! Hope you are gonna work your way through all the machines. Keep it up! Respect bro!
Appreciate it! Jointer or table saw next?
@@WilliamDouglasCo Table saw. More folks have one maybe...? But pull the top off and clean the adjusting gears. Seriously cool series!
And by the way...the old school nickel test.... Lol I was taught it like 30 years ago! Legit old school!
@@williamconzo6074 I’ve been around nearly 10 decades
I didn’t have a nickel handy, but a George stayed face up on a dollar bill on mine. 😂. Nice work William!
George is the ol reliable 😀
I like the tyre installation. Way easier than what I've done in the past 🙄
I’m glad I could contribute helpful info! Thank you for watching
Also my ultimate nic-pic. Check your nickel before balancing test. A coin that has been in circulation for a long time will fall over easier. How's that for over analyzing. Really enjoy your content and humor. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Ahh yes yes of course. The very balanced machines will handle a heavy circulated nickel no problem
Good series!
More, please.
I’ll keep them coming!!
Thank you! I just finished a band saw milling jig and the band saw now needs a good tune up. Fantastic video.
Much appreciated! I’m happy to hear it could help you!
A-++++++. Sorry for the first negative dash. I’m too lazy to go back and delete it. :). Cheers
Hey no worries 😌 I appreciate all of the consecutive pluses
Thank You for simplifying this intimidating project. The only thing makes me uneasy is your hood's drawstrings.
So many people think they need a high-end Baleigh or Laguna 18" when about all they will Ever need is a nice 12" that doesn't need 220. You could be creating instead of saving up for your "someday" machine. BTW Those brands are great in the smaller sizes, but a production machine is made to run 24-7 not 2-3 hours a week, which is closer to reality for many of us. The best kept secret in woodworking machines is Dayton, which is often a Palmgren re-labeled. WAY better than anything in any hardware store and imho a step above G*****y. In the last 40 years I have never regretted buying anything Dayton. They're a sensible balance between price and quality. BTW my own is a Wilton, which has a slower FPM bc it's intended for metal (which will never be cut with my saw), but it really is not something you would actually notice bc it cuts like there's no tomorrow.
Great video. I really like this series you’ve started
I’m happy to hear it! Next up, the jointer
Sure, it's not the best bandsaw, but it's definitely one of the best in its category
Great score !!!!
Yes I agree with that 100%
You could do So Much Worse than a Powermatic.
@@martyspargur5281 no doubt. I wouldn’t get anything less than a powermatic.
@@WilliamDouglasCo The only experience I have with Powermatic is a 20"(I think) metal cutter and an older 12", but your saw has a much improved upper guide and trunions which were the only things about the 12" that I didn't care for. The 20" was a monster, cut plate like butter.
Just going to have to do this to my bandsaw. I bought it 2nd hand and there is actually quite a bit of rust on the table that I haven't gotten around to cleaning yet.
I’m glad to hear this video is going to serve it purpose and be helpful!
Thankyou for your video I have the same Band Saw . I appreciate the information. sadly it is the least used tool in my shop
I question I need to learn more about what it can assist me with
Dang it, you just had to throw down, dintcha?
So now my very used Ridgid is disassembled and waiting for lower wheel bearings.
It might be a good time to spin up an episode of buy once cry once?
I did OK with TableSaur(tm), an early 1997 Grizzly cabinet saw, 5hp version. It only needed a good cleaning, some small missing parts, and tuning.
But I've gotten in too deep with the bandsaw.
Motor upgrade - doubled hp
Kreg rip fence
Riser block
Link belt
Home built mobile base
1-1/2 inch thick plywood baseboard
Carter tensioner lever and cobra spring
Highland tool works tensioner handwheel
Bearing guide kit that only fit the upper end
New bottom wheel bearings, Japanese
I think I ran out of stubborn and stoopit today, lol.
Never saw the woble tensioning trick 👌
Pretty great little technique that maximizes the performance you can get out of these little guys
Thank you Will, this was very helpful
Another good video Will.... keep it up bud!
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice and informative. Great video. Keep up the great content!
Absolutely!! Thank you for watching!
I liked that. Thanks for sharing 🌞
Love the zip tie trick.
I'm curious why you use sae30 and not a dry lubricant?
This is a great 'quick and dirty' tutorial - it hits all the important areas. I'm going to assume you did the same routine with the guide bearings on the bottom set as well. You might have said so, and if you did my microspan of attention capacity missed it. Question: if a riser block is added, does that compromise the the rigidity of the whole saw? Another question: if you have a riser of say, "N" inches, do you then buy a blade of 2N+Original Length? (Sorry for the math)
Hey thanks for dropping a comment 😃
The riser block is sold by powermatic so it has been made perfectly to raise the saw without compromising anything. They also specify the new blade size so I haven’t even thought about the math. Hope this helps!
You're right on. I went from 93 to 105 with a 6 inch riser on mine.
Thanks!
Thank you for watching 😀
even tho I don't have a bandsaw this was very interesting and ill be ready for when i find a used one lol
Right on Jesus! Thanks for watching brotha!
Thank you for the content.
I recently picked up an older Laguna bandsaw and I'm having a hard time getting it to track consistantly. I think I'll try new tires - do you have a favorite tire you recommend? I really appreciate your content - informative and intertaining. Nice work!
Thanks so much Ron! I honestly haven’t noticed a difference in quality of tires. I just make sure to check the reviews before I buy. If they don’t have reviews it’s usually a good thing. People make sure to let you know when something is bad but not always when something is good
Great again!
Thanks Mark! I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment as well!
thank you
woah woah woah - you just assume we all know how to change a light bulb!!?
Ah man. Now I feel like a jerk. I should not have blown past that part
@@WilliamDouglasCo honestly I'm more curious if you put Bones Swiss bearings on or nah?
@@drukilkelly8599 I honestly didn’t change the bearings out. I still need to order some. Bone Swiss where it’s at?
When you take the water boiler...... The coffee is coming I said
That would have been the move. Missed opportunities
*TOP*
What kind of product were you spraying on the bearings and such to get the gunk out? I need to tune mine up.
I was using an all purpose cleaner. That was meyers
Petroleum distillate paint thinner brushed into all the nooks and crannies, followed by acetone to wash out that de-greaser. Never get any of that stuff on the tyres.
No GLUE?
For the tires?
The old rubber ones required glue but these new ones don't as far as i know. I have done both of my bandsaws and have had no issues. One set was Carter and the other was the cheapest off amazon.... both work great.
@@williamconzo6074 yeah there was not even glue on the stock tires. I’m not sure when they figured out a rubber that doesn’t need glue but it’s really nice. My old Davis and wells had a lot of glue residue under the tires
The urethane tires don't call for it. They have memory and shrink back pretty tight to the wheel as they cool.
Those dangley things hanging off your hoody, aren’t the best around power tools.
That’s for damn sure. If it got caught in a machine and ripped off my jacket I would not be a happy camper
Like your video! I am suprised that you haven't researched P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!
More lighting
Right! Our main filming light died and has gone on to what we can only hope is a better place. We are working on it 👍
Guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about…at all.
I don’t?
