this has to be one of the better videos out there showing how to do the blade guides It just changed my whole way of thinking about building mine and cheaper too. Thanks
Love those guides. I recently finished building my bandsaw mill. I am not a machinist. It took me a long time to finish it. It does cut pretty good. It's really amazing how many different ways there are to achieving the same basic result. If I would have seen this video a few months ago I would have copied your system. Clean ,simple. and functional. Bravo.
I appreciate the feedback.. I spent a lot of time looking at other designs but could not find one that would work. So far it seems to be working well after about 2 months.
I went thru a lot of idea before I decided on this one. I had looked at the Cooks but as I stated in the video, it would have cost me about 8" of cutting width. It does take a bit to get them set, but they still seem to be working well.
Yeah, I would agree but at the time I was trying different ideas and this is what I had in the shop. One day, I might upgrade but it has not been a problem yet. appreciate the feedback
I was looking at your video it is the best video I have seen yet and how you did the blade guides is a great idea I would like to Copley them on my sawmill but I can't find the v grove bearings if you would tell me where you got them I would thank you very much thank you.
thanks. I spent a lot of time researching how others did theirs and this is the only way I could find that would not take up some much cutting width. I believe I found those bearings on Amazon.
I have the same brass barn door V wheels and wanted to ask how they're handling riding the edge of the angle iron track. I was considering laying the angle iron track open side down and having the V wheel to ride on the V edge of the angle iron. Do you think riding the edge is a better way to go?
I decided to use the edge because I was worried the v-groove might not match the angle of the iron upside down. It also stays very straight without much "wobble". The wheels I have are actually steel and have lasted pretty well so far. One thing I have noticed is they don't roll as smooth as I thought they would be its not that bad.

I appreciate the complement. I worked a long time to find a solution that was inexpensive and did not take up too much of my cutting width.
Great video I'm building my own sawmill at the minute, am trying to come up with an idea for the blade guides so this video was really helpful 👍
glad to hear it. I watched a lot of videos myself before building mine.
Sean, similar position you were in but figured I’d just buy spare woodmizer blade guides as they’re muuch simpler than this setup
@@whirled_peas thanks for the suggestion, I might upgrade mine and do the same 👍
At least it pits the mind to think nice job
thanks. it has worked better than expected

Brilliant idea!! I have always wanted
to build my own band saw mill in South Africa. Still dreaming 🤣
Glad you liked it. I have really enjoyed having my own mill to cut whatever I want.
Magnifiques
Thank you 👏
I like that overall design! I was planning on buying Cooks guides, but may build something like you did.

I'm not an expert by any means but I would suggest you invest in a tripod for any future videos. Your ingenuity is outstanding...
Yeah, got a lot to improve on for my videos.
@@kmanbuilds Keep up the good work, you'll get there...
Sem o rolo por fora dos rolamento nao da certo ta errado vai estragar rolamentos na agua
Boa noite, o amigo poderia me passar as medidas da fita, da lâmina da serra.
Obrigado
Parabéns meu amigo excelente trabalho 👏👏👏👏
obrigado, agradeço o feedback
I would have suggested using square stock on the back of the bering assembly to prevent twisting
Yeah, I would agree but at the time I was trying different ideas and this is what I had in the shop. One day, I might upgrade but it has not been a problem yet. appreciate the feedback

@@kmanbuilds thank you
Thank you so much
Very good 👍
I believe I would use a plain bearing to back the blade, then no strange forces on blade.
the v bearing has a flat area in the middle that is wider then the blade thickness so it does not seem to be causing any issues.

@@kmanbuilds sounds like there might be pros and cons either way. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi there, nice job. You've got a great pair of wheels there, can you please tell me what they are, and where can I buy them? Thank you.
Are you asking about the band saw blade wheels?
What kind of bearings are those? Is it two stacked together or is it one with a groove in the middle?
I am using two stacked together. If needed I can add a third on top but have not needed it just yet.
@@kmanbuilds dry nice. What width blade are you running? It looks quite wide but maybe those bearings are just really narrow
Originally, it was 1 1/2" but I have found that it runs better using a 1 1/4" which is what I am using now.

На твоём месте, я бы нижние ролики убрал, попадать опилок будет и можешь клин поймать.
