Coolant

do this. I also see where some folks are converting their saws tothe head. This link has a picture and tells about adding on a coolant system. The pan does not swivel with the saw. Only used in the down position. Harbor Freight has a small coolant setup for about $35. Several listmembers have used this model. I ordered one from HF but it has been backordered for several weeks. One thing to consider is if you would like to have a saw that sits on a higher stand. I did not think about this when I built the stand to the dimensions in the article but looking back I would like it a little higher. Good luck, Rich W. |

Re: Hi, Im new, few questions about my bandsaw
TEX
Accordin to what some fellers have told me ... a blade will wear on
on one side of the teeth after a period of extended use. They say bout all ya can do is replace the blade. I wudn't think a new saw wud have a worn blade, but it wudn't be the first time an inventory item has been used an returned to stock. Corse I have no scientific proof, but I do have a lot of cow pasture wisdom. ... :o) TEX ----------------------- Hi all, my name is Bill. I bought my 4x6 bandsaw from Tractor supply locally for 179$. Their brand name is Clarke. My bandsaw, im not sure if its the blade guides or how they drilled the castings, but when I cut anything, the cut is allways slanted, the cut moves towards the cut off end as the blade moves down. Im hoping it is just the blade guides needing to be set. Another thing I need to fix is that last time I moved it, the wheels slid out from underneath it, and the saw landed on the motor. It bent the motor mounting plate like a piece of tin foil. After reading a few posts, I think I should also drain my oil out, and replace it. |

(). They also carry the Lenox Band-Ade cutting fluid. The Lenox blade is absolutely wonderful and is just a world of difference compared to the blade that came with the saw. --- In 4x6bandsaw@..., "Steve Hebert" <swh@t...> wrote:

Re: Grizzly G9742 Bandsaw

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks Catboat. Any suggestions on where to get a better vise
or how to make one. I had to do some grinding on the leadscrew nut of this one
before it would work right, it had a casting bard left on it that was
interfering with it working right. Didn't take long just had to be
done.

Re: Bi-Metal blades - which brand??
TEX
Neat idea. Where did ya git the pump or what type? They use a
similar settlin tank when they drill fer oil only a lot bigger. ... TEX -------------------------- I use only Lenox bi-metal blades in my 4x6 bandsaw. Also, I use water soluble oil/water as a coolant solution that is recirculated by a little pump. The cuts are precise and quick. The blades last very long too.See the photos section of my setup. I also have an article about building a coolant system on the cheap. Cheers, Cletus |

Hi Paul,

I bought the same saw about 6 weeks ago. I like it a lot. A few comments: 1) It will easily function in vertical mode if you unscrew the pin that attached the saw to the downfeed piston. 2) Get a bimetal blade as soon as you can; the stock blade is pretty poor. Take your time and go through the saw to make everything square. I ended up enlarging one of the mounting holes for the jaw on the vise, as the vise wasn't closing square. There are many small adjustments you can make, so just take your time and use a good square or dial indicator. Overall, I think it's a pretty good saw and am very happy to finally have a metal cutting band saw in my garage. Jeff On 2/2/04 7:27 PM, "Paul Maples" <pmaples@...> wrote:

Hello Gang, I am new to this forum. I just purchased a Grizzly G9742 4" x 6"
Metal-Cutting Bandsaw with Swivel Head. Just got it setup and have not used it yet. I was wondering if any of you folks had any suggestions for me before I power this thing up and start using it.
