8 Ideas for IMPROVING a Bandsaw

- If you have similar or smaller machines bought from a harbor freight or home depot, then you can easily improve your machines
A band saw is a great tool, but to be able to use it with more pleasure I decided to improve it.
I have been collecting ideas for improvement for a long time. The most important for me was to raise the machine, add rotary wheels and extend the vice. From the moment I bought it, I knew that I would have to take care of it, but I also knew that over time there would be more problems that I would have to solve, so I delayed it almost a year.
Now the band saw meets all my expectations and I think I will be very happy with these improvements.
I made the base from 2 mm sheet. This is sufficient thickness.
The wheels are 10 cm / 2.5 in diameter and each can withstand a weight of 80 kg, together 240 kg, so there is some reserve.
I bought the lamp online. It was expensive but gives very good and bright light. Thanks to 24V connection it is safe for my health and life.
If you need more information, write a question in the comment, I will try to write back.

Oglądać ludzi z taką pomysłowością i talentem motywuje i cieszy . Dziękuję za to
What a great set of mods. I'm going to get started on mine. I've had all of those problems: clamping short stock, vice extension for longer stock, tiny vice for tiny parts, turning it into a quick vertical saw. What a great list. Thank-you!!
I love the fact that each mod you make gets used in subsequent mods, or tools. Well done!
Man, I totally did that with my Harbor Freight model. Made a roll around base with the swivel wheels that come on HF engine hoist, so it was raised up to a comfortable height and rolled around on sturdy wheels. But I also had to square up the lower blade guide surface where the table mounts in the Vert. position. Yes, adjusting the vise/clamp is necessary as well.
Some very clever ideas here, I like the offside small vice idea! Working on it tomorrow. Big saws can cut small things, small saws cant cut big things... I have a big saw, now I can cut small things.
Go Polska.!
Под каким-то из Ваших видео я говорил что у Вас золотые руки.Повторюсь еще раз - Золотые руки!!!
Wow, your hydraulic vise is cool! I'm gonna check out the build video on that next.
Made in Poland est un artiste plein d'idées !!!! Un plaisir à regarder !
Made in Poland is an artist full of ideas !!!! A pleasure to watch !
Made in Poland to artysta pełen pomysłów !!!! Przyjemność oglądania !
That is a whole new level of awesome - you built a monster out of a normal bandsaw. Respect, man!
I especially liked the small auxiliary vise, very clever!
Zawsze po twoich filmach robie takie lub podobne przerobki na swoim sprzecie i szukam w necie narzedzi jakich ty uzywasz dzieki za ten kanal i za twoja fajna prace ktora robisz. Pozdro
Just what I was looking for that small clamp for small pieces! You are an inspiration my friend thank you
Always inspired be you. Thanks so much. I have a smaller cutter. I put a neodymium magnet on each side of blade to catch off cut of pieces. Keep losing them. Til next time.
Allen W put a plastic bag in front of the magnet
Excellent. When buying these new generation cheap but fit for propose machines there is always the finer details missing or things not as we would like. What you are showing us here is ..."do something about it". What you have inspired me to do is get in and solve/do something about it on my lathe and mill.
The next thing I guess is make a video of some of these mods I have made. Now that is quite a "next step"
Thank you again from down under.
Niektóre rowiazania juz posiadam ale doposaże sie jeszcze w niektore twoje pomysły bo są mega pomocne :)
Pozdrawiam :)

Really a great way to mod the bandsaw... Thanks for doing it on camera... Nice job!!
Thank you for the great solutions (much BETTER than ideas!) to these annoying problems. Getting to work now on mine.
I consider these mods to be absolutely necessary. I will start on mine soon. Thanks for sharing and take care.

Clickspring or Pablo Cimadevilla too I like them both. They don't have new videos often enough though. There are MANY more!
Please put your top 5 makers on the comment 😁 Better solution that TH-cam algorithms👍
& Make it extreme ?!!
I really like all of your other tools too - the plasma cutter, the vise-bender. I'm very jealous!
Young Man I have to let you know how impressed I am with your skills at such a young age awesome awesome amazing project that will make everything in front of this project go so much easier and quicker but more important than all of those things they will be more dialed in thumbs up my friend great build
I am amazed by the things and solutions found - just amazed every video.....
I’m dig’n that press brake/ vise tool!
Not only the lathe can reproduce itself, the band saw is even close to it!
:-)
Great mod on the saw vice, didn´t expect that a simple addition of a threaded rod could improve that clamping so much!
Thx for the vid!
:-D
Still cant understand the wisdom behind how that rod helps... :((
@@kaieteurcanada the vice only grips on one side of the vice because the piece of steel is too short to reach the pivot point of the vice jaw.
The threaded rod acts like a longer piece of steel against the fixed jaw holding pressure against the shot piece of steel to be cut
WOW, great ideas ! They are now all on my To-Do list 😊
Kopara opada. Uwielbiam takie demonstracje. Wszystko jasne, bez słowa. Ogląda się te filmy z zapartym tchem:):):)
I have a very similar saw. Your ideas withe the vice are great. Thanks for sharing them!
Nothing is more beautiful than using tools to make better, more efficient tools.
Damn, you're good. I put up with these shortcomings for years.
Excellent video.
Wonderful engineering skills on display.
The drill turning anti-clockwise is an optical illusion...
Well done sir. 👍👍
Once again your not just the metal master your a master of proper tool design. I love your videos because they give me ideas on how to improve my equipment and skills. Thank You once again and please keep up the great work your doing with these videos.
Genius. Your fabrication skills are top notch.
very nice upgrade of the metal band saw
Very good video, today I bought a saw without, I plan to make several of these great ideas
Impressive! I thought making into a bandsaw and not only a cut off saw was about all that was left to do for improvements. Of course, last but not least! Man, I can't thinking of anything else other than some sort of DIY home made blade welder maybe? That's about all I have left on my mind. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, and some very nice improvements!
I have the smaller 4x6 version (without coolant) and have made some improvements to mine also, to make it better and more accurate.
Now you've given me a few more ways to improve it. Thank you.
I have absolutley the same "stiler". Made in poland. 2 years of work without Any problems. Good machine.
Thank you very much. You just sold me on this saw.
have the same bandsaw for 8 years and im still changing the way it works good content
Great hacks, the band saw is much more usable and versatile now. 👍👍👍
incredible ideas, thank you very much for sharing them
With great thinking and affordable materials you transformed this basic band saw into a Cadillac versatile machine!
Great job !
The power of imagination and necessity are mothers of all creativities and inventions
Jesteś mistrzem, dobrze że jesteś wraz ze swoim pomysłami.
uvijek odličan i sa vrhunskim idejama!
Wszystko co zrobiłeś jest genialne w swojej prostocie 😀 i mega ułatwia pracę. Udało ci się poprawić fabrykę w każdym miejscu z którym mam problem w mojej pile. 👍👍
To teraz możesz brać się za tuning swojej 😁😁
Awesome work. My favorite thing to do in my shop is improve shop tools.
Nice video! You have some mad skills! I enjoyed the whole show!
Wieder einmal super Arbeit und tolle Ideen! Glückwunsch
Very handy mods , I will probably do some of these on my saw , nicely done
Brilliant improvements to the saw.
These little tricks like the one with the ball bearings are really helpful. Could you maybe make a video where you show a few more of such tricks?
That small table is just ingenious! Now I gotta make one for my saw...
You are truly a man with many talents, the roller table and the little vise additions are ingenious and everything you make turns out looking very nice too.
No no to teraz piwko po świetnej robocie😀💪💪
Absolutely brilliant video. Great ideas. Great execution.
bardzo fachowo to wygląda ! Pełen szacunek.
Dzięki!! :)
Молодец!!! Почти все переделал за производителя. С удовольствием смотрю канал. Спасибо.
That's the first time I've ever seen a drill & tap combo bit. That seems pretty clever. It must save a lot of time, assuming you only use bolts with the same thread pitch.
Always nothing but great ideas! Dziekuje!
A very well thought out presentation that addresses some machinery design deficiencies.
Pięknie udoskonaliłeś piłę taśmową, wygodniej będzie ci się pracować. Pozdrawiam
Rewelacja, czekam na kolejne filmy. Z przyjemnością oglądam każdy odcinek. Pozdrawiam
Great ideas and great workmanship Thank you
You make me so glad I watch every one of your videos. You really should consider an assortment of Oetiker crimp hose clamps; we used to use the old screw hose clamps and needed to upgrade for higher pressure and plastic barbs. When we got the clamps and a tool we were amazed how much better it's been.
Nice work. Your saw is much more useable now.
superbe j'adore les modification apporté, bravo des superbe idées
Excellent work, very intelligent and skillful.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
Esto es llevar la genialidad a otro nivel... FELICITACIONES
Widząc ciebie ciesze się że jestem Polakiem. Dziekuje ci za to.
For me Poland is this smart guy and Behemoth!
You forget Batushka! (hospodi pomiluy)
@@olegkotletov7857 haha, yeah
Me gusta muchisimo ei gran ingenio polaco y su destreza.
Your ideas are very usefull, like always. 👍
Как всегда, прекрасная работа!
Hello to all,
you work very well and all the improvements you have made are interesting, especially the roller table and the additional vice for small cuts.... ;)
Four pivoting wheels solve the problem of mobility in a decisive way.....but you have only put two....
Congrats!!!
Four swivel wheels has the advantage for final positioning, but are a nightmare for moving any reasonable distance.
Very well thought out, Nice! I like how the improvements were used as mods went along. Peace
very very good works
OMG ... Awesome ... Plus >> the vice as a sheet bender
Excellent, i would copy your ideas, may not be exact but love all the add ons. Thanks
Od takich osób powinni się uczyć producenci jak prawidłowo projektować w pełni funkcjonalne narzędzia.
Super! co do wysokości współczesnych maszyn czujemy się teraz jak Guliwer wśród liliputów. Wszystko trzeba przerabiać lub godzić się na ból kręgosłupa. W pracy wolę przenieść kompresor niż nim jechać bo to chyba wersja dla pigmejów. W poprzednie pracy miałem gilotynę do stali, która miała noże w połowie łydki. Chyba miniaturyzacja z komputerów przenosi się na inne sprzęty... 😉 Niedawno robiłem sobie stolik pod piłę do mojego warsztaciku. Za wysokość blatu przyjąłem wysokość do zaciśniętej pięści w pełni wyprostowanej postawie. Pierwotnie myślałem że wyjdzie za wysoki, ale jest idealny do pracy na stojąco 🙂 Rolki to bardzo dobry pomysł. 👍Przydało by się jeszcze coś do podparcia odcinanego materiału. Kolega zrobił sobie takie ustrojstwo ze stalowych rurek hydraulicznych. Z góry po rozłożeniu wygląda jak duża litera M. Składa się w harmonijkę, a z deską może być stolikiem roboczym lub małym rusztowaniem. Podstawa do ręcznego cięcia mistrzostwo świata. Pionowa pasówka już jest nie potrzebna. Jak to przydatne rozwiązanie wie każdy kto choć raz musiał coś dopasować i szarpał się z materiałem. Lampka i płyn też fajnie rozwiązane. Gratuluję kreatywności.👍
Excellent ideas greetings
Awesome modifications. We bought a used 7x12 horizontal band saw. It had flimsy sheet metal legs, one of which got bent when we were loading it. We made some 10 ga legs which held it up higher and put locking casters under it. Made it much better and more portable. I will have to look to see if I can put a bigger guard on it to have a bigger table if we use it as a vertical band saw.
8 idées vraiment génial beau travail .
Great video. I had one of those saws once. I was thinking about getting another one. A few upgrades like this and it would be a great saw.
Excellent.Thank you for your sharing. I'm your fan, I saw every your videos.
Thank you! :)
Now this is a coincidence.....I was browsing EBAY last week and ended up buying a bandsaw because I thought it would come in handy......now I just browsed the 'tube and what do you know .......ideas for making the bandsaw do things only more expensive saws can do......my congrats to your very agile brain.
Well done show off.. now you make me ant to go and get one of those saws just to modify it.. outstanding.. carry on!
Bardzo mi sie podoba Twoj film. Jestes kreatywny. Zwiekszyles wartosc maszyny i zarazem jej funkcjonalnos . takich ludzi nam potrzeba
Good ideas, it really should have come with some of them as standard.
You have a golden hands and dimond brain!
Great work! Among the best content on TH-cam.
Eres un fenómeno!
Człowiek z żelaza😃👍
Think I would have bought a new bandsaw me like 😂🤣. No brilliant way to upgrade your workstations you can tell you have put a lot of thought into it well done bud. I’ve subscribed and left a like too.
Mam identyczną przecinarkę tylko w gorszym stanie heh. Kradnę te usprawnienia bezwstydnie bo są genialne!
Excellent, I was planning to make same mods to my bandsaw next week. Raising it up and adding rollers, but to both sides.
Thanks for the good ideas
You are such an inspiration! ❤️
All very good ! Thanks for sharing !
Great fabrication skills, very impressed
