Band Saw Mod

Modified the vise on the horizontal band saw to work better with short pieces of material.

Todd - Excellent Video. I did the same to my saw with a slightly different twist
as follows : To avoid the long screw and a lot of revolutions . I have a couple of
steel spacers the height of the solid Jaw . I also put a crank on the end of the
screw for speed and convenience . Again - Excellent Video -- Jim

Great idea Jim. I will have to look at doing that also.

Todd - Go for it - It's like chicken soup - It can't hurt you . -- Jim

Agree with you on the Viking drill and taps. They are worth every penny.

That jaw thing s always a problem . I have seen several ways around it , but never seem to have the time to fix my one ! 👍

This works good for me. First seen while building truck bodies. Always forgot to bring a wrench, so I just left one with the saw. Then it became great. Happy New Year!

Hey, great tip bud! The way you held that nut in your chuck was sketchy to say the least, but a great tip none the less! Almost over 1000 subscribers so expecting better video soon lol! Keep it up, you're an inspiration:) Roger in Calgary.

Thanks Roger and Happy New Year to you. What part of Calgary are you in? I am just an hour north east of Calgary.
