Re: Base casting measurements?
I have the stand coming, says it's made from 14 ga (0.075") steel sheet, is it much of an improvement over the previous paper thin versions?

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I wasn't able to do everything I wanted to on my bandsaw today, but was able to do some preliminary stuff.? The first thing I wanted to do was to set the fixed jaw so it 's parallel to the pivot

I agree with everything you said. That's what makes these things such a challenge to get right - jv

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Good choice of words. Respectfully, these are all good adjustment improvements or at the very least "logical" but the the entire blade guide setup is a bit of a guess and a compromise. Like when

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Yeah the adjustments are hard to all get right at the same time. I've made a conscious attempt to remove unnecessary adjustments or disentangle them, especially where adjusting one thing affects

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
You are probably correct John. I was thinking he had the same problem I did when he was talking about not making the switch. Fortunately my saw is is level and square but the pivot point it drilled

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
You've got it MarkK. Moving the 'Pivot' (as its called) casting (#121) is what has made your switch hit the base casting and why it no longer cuts square horizontally. As I've said many times, the

Any chance someone with a Jet HVBS-56 could measure the length and width of the base casting? Jet HVBS-56 ( https://jettools.com/metalworking/sawing/manual-semi-automatic-horizontal-bandsaws/414458

Last night I had a thought about what _might_ have happened, but I need to confirm it.? I remembered that I had? tipped my saw over to open up the gearbox and replace the gear oil (I supported it

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
They definitely had an assembly problem at the factory. Probably a bad setup on a fixture and they drilled the holes for the head pivot point in the wrong place. I've sold a bunch of plates that sit

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I had the same issue. When you get the saw to track and cut nicely, the frame hits the bed and it won't make a complete cut. When you adjusted the guides so it will complete the cut, the blade pops

First off just let me say I'm sorry group most of you here probably don't know me. I've been here for about 20 years and owned a welding service in Austin. I bought my first Harbor Freight 4 x 6

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I understand what you're saying, but that's not the problem.? The reason I believe that is because the bottom blade guide normally has to be set just a little under its maximum height, else it

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I had the same issue. More than likely the blade guides were deflecting the blade downward before. When you adjusted them correctly the blade was higher up. I went through the exact same problem and

Mark, Just had a chance to see your video, do you still have any plates for sale? Wayne Sent from far far away

Re: Blade guide setup -- a question
I suspect they make these saw in batches and dismantle a lot of the jigs when they move on to another product. If they get setup wrong for the next batch then they may make 200,000 saws (totally
