I now have 2 broken blades. I have no idea what happened to the first, and I can't really remember what I was doing when it broke. The second broke as a result of my own stupidity. (Note to newbies -

"Then maybe I might buy some more stainless. I was going to make a set of medieval armor for fighting in the SCA. Long, long ago, and far, far away... " But no matter where you go, there we are.

??? ??? Bill can ya show a link or more info to that cutter ya bought ? ??? ??? animal

I bought a 1x2 meter sheet of 1mm 304 stainless steel while I was stationed in Turkey in 1983 or so. Spent the next 7 or 8 years trying to find a way to cut it. Finally gave it to a friend who wasn't

John, You are welcome to save the PDF, but I suggest you check for updates before using it. I just made an update based on John Vreede’s excellent suggestions. Rick Sent: Monday, June

Just seen this, wasn't expecting you to be awake yet. Didn't expect that you'd use that stuff verbatim. It was your idea in the first place, so you get to choose how to use it. I think I'll make

Kerrin, I hear you! My next project has got to be finding a way to organize my dozens of attachments. They are in a pile under the saw’s table. I never work with stainless steel because my

John, All great suggestions. I have put them in the article but took the liberty of touching up the grammar. I’m sure I also Americanized it a bit. If you don’t like it, I’ll put it all

Nice one Rick. To cut stainless steel you need to restrict the number of teeth in the cut, otherwise the teeth just rub and it workhardens the stainless and will dull the blade. The minimum is 3 teeth

Hi Rick, oh no another fixture for the bandsaw! Thankyou it will be a great addition! And yes I’m guilty of ripping teeth of a blade while cutting sheet stainless. Cheers Kerrin

Thank you, Rick. I've filed the PDF ready for when I need to build one. I still have one of these, which was last seriously used for cutting out body panels for a custom off-roader I built in

Here is a fixture I made that lets me precisely saw sheet metal with the saw in the horizontal position. https://rick.sparber.org/PrecisionCuttingSheetMetal.pdf Rick

Since its just one cut - I would rough cut it with something else about 1/2" too long.? Then slide a 2x4 inside it.? Maybe drill a couple holes through the waste part of the box tubing and put

Lee I have cut stock wider that I can get in the saw vice. I remove the 2 vice parts from the saw. I scribe a line where I want to make the cut and use some large c-clamps or drill press clamp to

Thanks all for the responses. It's hard to choose among these options. My saw cuts very well, and the cut to be made need not be super precise (it will be a base for a belt grinder I'm making) so I

John No worries trust me 99% of the time that's what people see. Mandela effect maybe : ) glad I could be of service, I love all the little tune ups we do to our equipment. Have a great weekend.

Hi Lee To add to the cut/flip/cut method: 1. Use a bit of 2x4 inside the channel so that the vice can clamp the 8" section against the vice jaws 2. Support the other end of the channel on a stand (I

Hi Lee Here's a couple more ways. 1. Make a sub-table that drops on top of the vice to hold the work. I've checked on my 1987 Taiwanese saw and you can only JUST cut 8x1.75" if you position it it in

A couple ways….. One, is set up the channel vertically, cut from one side as deep as you can go, and then flip it over and finish the cut. You can keep the cuts aligned by using the work stop, and

You'll probably run aground around halfway through when the arm casting hits the top of the channel.
