i ordered this bandsaw blade for this bandsaw except that they made a mistake and cut this one
way too short they'll send me a new one but in the meantime i want to see if i can still use this one
it's way too short for this one but for this one
it's only about eight inches or 20 centimeters too long so i might be able to make that work
hmm so the upper wheel mount is sticking out the top a little bit and i have to tweak the blade
guides because this is as wide a blade as this saw is designed to take upper and lower i haven't
touched those in a long time and there's no way that the upper enclosure will fit now and i just
added this little thing here because i'm afraid of touching the blade when i reach for the switch
so this is a resale blade and this is about as tight a curve as it can cut
let's try a bit of reselling nice
initially i set my resaw fence to just be parallel to the edge of the table
but then i found the blade drifted to the side a
little bit so i adjusted the angle of the wreath offense
and then tweak the angle some more
i kept tweaking that angle to try to get it right
and then if i change the angle too far so i had to change it back a little bit and then it was right
with a thin curve for this blade and a great width i have to get the alignment for how i'm going
through there exactly right it was not entirely parallel to the table this way but now that i've
got the table alignment worked out and i put a ruler against the blade against the flat side
of it not against the tooth that ruler is exactly with a fence so i should have set it to the blade
in the first place and this is a variable tpi blade so that it doesn't have that winding thing
and the cut it makes once everything is uh set up straight is just
excellent
well that was lots of fun and i did all that resawing with just an old half horsepower
furnace blower motor and the whitest ones were 16.5 centimeters or six and a half inches well
i just kept on going and ended up scoring up all my random pieces of firewood i use for projects
and this blade if you're wondering is a wood slicer blade and i bought it from r d band saws
so it's actually been a while since i filmed that and after that i decided my web server
needed rebuilding because the software on it has gotten way obsolete and i also rebuilt my home
file server in the process and then i decided to start working on my taxes which is why there's
been this big gap between videos and i've started working on this contraption i want to try to build
something that uh shoots these catapults them somehow and actually is hopper fed that's this
thing here i don't know if i'm gonna get this to working i don't know if there'll be a video
