The motor on mine would get super hot on longer cuts. I got the $29.99 1/3HP motor from Harbor freight and put that on there. Now it runs smoother, quieter, and cooler. The only catch is that the

I posted a pic in photos under aametalmaster of some 4 inch alum bar i recently cut. The saws will cut straight if set up correctly. Do not try to adjust the saw with a used blade it will only

Every time I turn the dern thing on, I can just feeeeeel my arm not getting tired! JJ : Re: [4x6bandsaw] 4x6 Bandsaw you powered

Jim I think that a variable speed motor would be perfect. I am thinking of the same thing once my motors go out depending on the motor weight, you may need to add some weight with it for the normal

Lenord It could be that I am using to much down pressure, I will try it lighter next time Clint

I don't think my motor is going to last much longer it is starting to stink. I was thinking of using a 2hp treadmill motor with variable control. Do you think this will be worth the trouble? Thanks

All, Another quick and dirty report for y'all. I received the band aide fluid and Lennox bi-metal blades today. The fluid (I got a gallon) is suppose to be cut with water at 10:1 !! (happy dance) It

Depending which way the blade is cutting crooked, loosen the two bolts on the guide arms and turn outward the opposite way that it cuts crooked, repeat until straight. Mine will cut piston ring type

I've tried with very light cutting pressures; same result. ----Original Message Follows---- From: <lenord@...> Reply-To: 4x6bandsaw@... To:

Clint, I've found that if I put too much downward pressure on the blade, cutting too fast, whether with weight added to the handle or fussing with the spring thing, I get an angled

Rex I have tried everything I can think of and can't get it out of one of my saws. I have two of them, the first one cuts straight right since I got it, the other one is way off and can't get it

Jim, Gave me a good chuckle, Thanks ! Lenord

I would say all of the above are correct with the major factors being the first three. I run mine at high speed with no lube and it still cuts pretty straight. Yeah, even with the limited use I've

Uh Oh! My feeble attempt at humor was misinterpreted!!! (glad i'm not a sit-com writer) My reference to "crooked" cuts was meant to show that in laying out a cut line on a workpiece that will be cut

I've found that if the band tension is up HIGH and if the rollers are carefully adjusted and if the pivot is not worn and if the speed is not too fast and if some lubricant is used ( I use

I tied a small piece of rope around the blade tightening knob. I apply light pressure in and down during cutting of larger pieces, seems to get around the crooked-cut problem.

I take it no-one has solved the crooked cut problem yet? I've finally learned to live with it, and think it's slightly mitigated with the bi-metal blade. I sometimes fantasize about going with the

Gotta second the cheer leading here! Any brand of the 4x6 will let you do jobs that you would be very reluctant to tackle with a hand powered hack saw. The only downside to one of these wonders, is
