That was fantastic, thank you for those simple explanations. Blacktail Studio recommended your video and boy was he right.
He has the right belly for a woodworker. You can trust this guy for sure 👍
It’s like a diploma
This is superb and perfect timing as my bandsaw has more drift than a Japanese b-movie on fast forward!
great infomation thanks, just what i needed.
I've always struggled to get a straight cut trying to mill with my bandsaw. Now I know why! I'm getting immediately better results following the steps in this video.
I found your video from Blacktail studio. Thank you for a great information video.
Hi Alex i love your videos most helpful always. Now do you have a video o the wrack and pinion maintenance as mine has a little bit of side movement as it goes up and down pushing the blade over a bit.
I would love your advice please .
Thank you.
Best video I've ever seen explaining bandsaw tuning, and I've watched a ton lol. Thank you!!!
That last cut was amazing.
I tried to rip a 2x4 in half and it drifted so badly that it cut it in half diagonally.
I couldn't imagine actually doing a straight cut on my bandsaw, so I only ever use it for small things where the cut is so short there's not time to drift.
So thank you, this is great, I can't wait to go tune my bandsaw and actually get some good use out of it.
Just got my first bandsaw. This explains how and more importantly why adjustments are made.
Being fairly new to woodworking, and particularly the bandsaw, I found this information incredibly helpful! I have a Rikon 10” 10-3061 bandsaw and will use this video to fine tune my setup. Wish I had a Woodcraft closer to where I live!!!
Boy, you know your stuff Alex. Thanks for sharing. 🇦🇺👴🏻
Alex, I have two questions. (1) I assume the guide bearing setups are the same for the bearings under the table, correct? and (2) You started by saying the lower wheel was already set, but never spoke about any tuneup actions down there. Are we to generally ignore the need to tune the blade to the lower wheel? Thanks.
Great advice ... never have seen such a thorough bandsaw setup video. Thanks Alex!
Off the subject ... are you a Bulldogs, Packers, or Grambling fan? Couldn't help but notice that belt buckle, and would love to have one like it (I live in Green Bay!).
How do we find the center of the wheel since it's not marked? Looks like my wheel (the yellow band part) is 27mm, so do I just estimate a guess of 13.5mm and hope for the best?
I just bought some trouble a Delta 18” with two knobs for blade tracking. The manual is no help. It just says turn both knobs equal amounts.. Great! That’s real help full. Nothing about both clockwise or counterclockwise, or one clockwise and other counterclockwise. Or hints on turns to track the blade forward or backwards. Can anyone help haven’t found a video with two adjustments knobs?
What about tire placement? I just replaced the worn-out 20 year-old tires on my Genereal 90-150M and the machine vibrates even more than before. The new urethane tires are just a bit narrower than the wheels. I've tried to pull sections of the tires so they are as consistent as possible, but that's a challenge. Any suggestions?
If your putting in a 1 inch blade it doesn’t seem possible to center the gullet. Can you suggest a depth for a larger blade
Band saw? might as well be called an Alex Snodgrass saw
Not a bad idea.
Place, can you activate the automatic translation for your vidéos, so I can good understand what you explain. Thanks
It is activated.
@@WoodcraftSupply sorry but not the possibilité to translate in a other language 😢
@@danav4810 I'm very sorry, I can see the auto translate button on my end. I'm not sure how to fix it. I will look into it more.
@@WoodcraftSupply I test it today and I can translate the vidéo in French Thanks
At 3:43, you say “anything less than that ….” Don’t you mean more?
Yeah, I get the concept yet what I dont get is why bandsaw manufactures (just got me a Laguna) don't recommend such a set up. I set up the blade per the manual, and the blade (3/4" Resaw King) is cutting dead flat boards. Yes, blade tension at teeth = better tracking in theory, but are blades engineered to operate that way? Per manuals, tension is centred on the blade. Your recco puts all the tension on the edge. There's gotta be more to the story.
