Now that's one tool that is super handy to have in the shop. The RK garage is still kicking butt.
Thanks Carl!! That's one tool I couldn't do without!!☺
I enjoy these maintenance and repair videos. I know how to do this job but I just enjoy watching someone else do their repairs and maintenance. Ya never know, you might have a shortcut, tip or new idea. Looks good. Like cutting warm budda.....LOL
Thanks Pat!! Yeah I'm the same way!! There's always a better, easier or different way of doing stuff!!☺
Thank you for this. I’m restoring one of these. The next step is bearing and this is very helpful.
Had the same one buddy !
Paid same as you , 75 bucks , sold it for 125 when I switched to the new coolant unit .
They’re great machines and last forever with the right care .
Happy new year ,, thanks for calling me ! 😊😉
Happy New Year Bud!!☺
Nice how to video. Good thing that snap ring didn't fly across the garage into dimension Z never to be seen again. My bandsaw is almost the same thing as yours so this is good stuff to know.
Thanks Tim!! I knew that snap ring wasn't going anywhere!! I only lose one of a kind obsolete stuff!!☺
Always a good day when the magic hammer makes an appearance!
Yeah Buddy!! I didn't realize how long it's been, another Sub mentioned it in the last video that it's been missing!!☺
Hey Road King I have a similar saw mine is a Jet made in Taiwan it great I've had it for over 30 years
Yeah Buddy!! Those things are Work Horses!! They'll still be around long after we're gone as long as they're maintained!!☺
I have the same saw. Made in Taiwan also. It has treated me well with no complaints.
Yeah same with mine!! I think that's the first thing I had to replace other than blades!!☺
Nice fix! I'm really good at shooting those damn retaining rings across the shop!
Thanks Dad!! I knew that wouldn't happen, that only happens with one of a kind obsolete stuff!!☺
Mine is like yours, probably a little older. I got it from Enco before MSC bought them out. There is a tracking adjustment on that top idle wheel too I had to adjust. Thanks for the video
Thanks WW!! That was my first thought, either outta adjustment or bad pulley bearing!!☺
The last few weeks I've seen videos about changing the blade, something about alignment, now changing the bearings.
All I need now is a bandsaw.
Anyway, there are any number of different bearing pullers but how come no-one seems to have invented a bearing pusher? 🤭
It's called a "bearing heater".
And for longer lasting bearings, use ones with a proper sealing ring on them, the metal cover type doesn't do much to keep dirt & debris out and the grease in, so they wear out sooner... :)
That’s a nice saw, RK. MSC equipment is usually better quality, even though it’s stil an import.👍
Thanks Tony!! Yeah MSC sells quality stuff, even their cheaper stuff is good!!☺
Right On Roadking! 👍 She’s back in action and running smooth! I have to do the same to my old Wellsaw soon.
Thanks Jon!! That's the real deal, you gotta take care of that!!☺
Enough of this...well done. Newk from Kentucky.
Good to hear from you Newk!!☺
The old ones may spin easy, but they sound like they are worn out. You got your money's worth out of them. Nice work on the band saw.
Thanks Tim!! Yeah it runs alot quieter with the new bearings!!☺
Hey Roady! I did the exact same job on my identical machine a little while ago and spent quite a while getting the alignment dead nuts on. I found your channel while doing it, because you had posted a video on cutting straight. Small world, buddy! Take care, Mart in the UK.
Thanks Mart!! I seen those videos of your machine, you really went to town on it!! Thanks for giving us credit in the video!!☺
great job King , That should help out some folks ! ENJOYED ..
Thanks Buddy!! I hope so!!☺
That has bee a good machine for you ..I have seen you cut some big stuff and have it cut straight
Yeah Buddy!! After seeing how much we use it all the time Mike and Daddydirtbike both picked up one!!☺
I used to get those huge catalogs from MSC. I used to buy a lot of the close out deals they had, I got some of best drill bits real cheap. That's a very good saw, especially for home use.
Yeah MSC sells quality stuff, even the cheap stuff is good!!☺
Thanks for sharing That should help someone with this problem and needing to know how to replace their bearings.
Thanks Bob!! I hope so!!☺
I have the HF model from 20 years ago. They say with a few modifications you can really improve the performance. 😃👍
That's one of the few tools I couldn't do without!!☺
I have one of these band saws, pretty well identical to the one you have there ROADKING. I bought mine back in the 1980's so I thought I should replace all the bearings with those C-3 tolerance bearings ( I used Timken bearings, I just don't trust bearings that are made that far 'overseas' )
May I offer you a tip,.... when I had a bit a bother, like you did, in trying to keep the puller screw shaft on those bearing 'axels' I took them out and put them in the lathe, then I put a small dimple on
the end of each axel , dead center, so the puller screw wouldn't wander off, if I ever have to do this again (I doubt I'll live that long though LOL )
Thanks Reg!! Great Tip, if I didn't have that Battery terminal puller I would do that!! It's almost like it was designed for that job!!☺
MSC is a supply house like McMaster Carr, I have the identical saw sold by horrible freight, just a different color, like anything they sell you have to rework the machine, tighten it up and true it, good saw as long as it lasts. The flat bar your cutting should be laid flat so the most teeth of the blade are in contact with the material. run your blade guides in closer.
That's as close as those guides go!!☺
I see you Roadkill still making it happen in 2021
You helped me a lot. Thank you.
It is good you replaced all of the bearings. The new greased bearings won't spin as freely as the dry old ones. The old ones spin like they are dry. They can spin freely and be worn outside of tolerance.
Note that 2RS bearings have rubber seals on both sides, providing a better seal against debris than the metal seals on the Z bearings.
Great work buddy!
Thanks alot Buddy!!☺
Amazing, I had two blades snap and really stopped using my little saw, thinking it might be something serious. Now I won’t have to take crap to work any more lol
Good to hear from you Bud!! Yeah it might be worth $10 to get that running again!!☺
..i pays to maintain before a major break down, good job, stay safe..
Thanks Bob!!☺
Hey RK! At the 13:55 mark in the vid just when you are tapping on the bearing it looks like the lower support moves a little. Might also be contributing to the problem. Good work!
Thanks Scott!! Yeah I was aware of that!! I even took that arm out to see if there was a way to eliminate that play but there isn't!! I just have to make sure it's where we want it to be when we use the saw!!☺
Good job as usual. To check the squareness of the cut of a bandsaw, use a block of wood. It cuts much faster than metal, doe not dull the blade and is cheaper. The larger the piece of wood, the more accurate the measurement.
Thanks Ron!! Good tip Bud!!☺
Is that you on camera with shades? Omg,I wasn't ready for that!
Lol!! They were Safety Glasses, ya gotta take care of your eyes!!☺
Very helpful thankyou.
the magic hammer returns :)
Yeah Buddy!! We aim to please!!☺
Happy new year buddy!
Thanks Mate!! Hope you have a great year!!☺
Good enough for government work! 👍👍, I had one and sold it because I didn't have room for it. Now I kick myself every time I need to cut a length of metal. LOL
I know how you feel Duke!! I couldn't get along without mine!!☺
The thing that makes the blades pop off is crud and aluminum fillings getting mashed into the bottom big wheel- I took mine off and undercut it in the lathe slightly so the blades stayed on and it never jumped off again- SAME SAW
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother these days xD
@Kyng Ronin Yea, been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself =)
Deal on the bandsaw wow !
Yeah there are alotta them out there!! I see them between $75- $150 used!!☺
Do you slacken the blade after use? I've got a 12" wheeled vertical saw, used mainly for wood. I had it cutting to one side and was told you had to drop the tension off when not in use as it crushes the set of the teeth where it sits on the wheels. Not sure if it's the same for metal cutting blade but works on corse wood blades. Might help you get better cuts? Always handy when you can actually replace parts on machines rather than throw them away!
Yeah the metal Saws are different, the pulley isn't as wide as the blade so the teeth aren't affected!!☺
Check the bearing in the tensioner wheel. It will give a lot of grief if it wobbles.
Yeah Buddy!! That's was my initial though!! That checked out good!!☺
👍👍👍nice job
Thanks Joe!!☺
Lol I have snapring pliers just like yours too.
Do you see that folks? "METAL CUTTING BANDSAW." This isn't your Father's Day special buy at The Home Depot.
My saw walking blade off drive pully walking out ..problem in gear did vid on over year ago
Yeah at first I thought I had a problem with the pulley bearings but the were pretty solid!!☺
👍👍
Thanks Buddy!!☺
When you put the second bearing on the lower bracket (when vertical), I noticed the bracket move quite a bit (13:57). Part of the original problem might have been misalighnment from that bracket being loose. You probably caught that though, right? I like pressing my bearings on with a C- clamp.
Yeah I was aware of that!! I even took that arm out to see if there was a way to eliminate that play but there isn't!! I just have to make sure it's where we want it to be when we use the saw!!☺
morning mate,no gaskits required :o)
Morning Mate!!☺
That saw will cut like new and will stop that blade from hopping off now Buddy
Yeah Buddy!! I couldn't do without that saw, it should outlast me now!!☺☺
👍
Thanks Buddy!!☺
Those clips are easier to put on than take off
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Nuffa This!
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
All of the used bearings sounded spent to me.
