Re: Not so good vibrations

Can't help - haven't had the guts to try it in the vertical position yet

Not so good vibrations
S. Foo <[email protected]>
Today while I was cutting some O1 stock with my saw in the vertical
position, it was vibrating a fair amount. After doing some checking (removing blade, removed the v-belt) I find it's the motor. In the horizontal position it seems to be lessened a bit due to gravity. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what did you do? I don't really want to buy a new motor, but that seems to be the thing to do. Any suggestions? |

No problem Dave. I hated to do it, but, apparently the folks who do
this just enjoy being a bother to open groups. I may change it back in the future, if it looks like we won't get hit with crap again. --- In 4x6bandsaw@..., "Dave Hylands" <dhylands@b...> wrote: Oops - Sorry ignore my last post - Doh. |

Once you change it to restricted you can NEVER undo it. Going to Moderated would have been the thing to do, or even leaving it unmoderated and moderating posts from new members (this option is buried a bit, but I can tell you where it is). -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada -----Original Message----- |

Due to the recent series of unwanted posts, i've moved membership to
the restricted level. This just means I'll have to approve anyone who wants to join. I removed the offending accounts as well. Sorry for the bother. |

Re: Blade slips off
S. Foo
Welcome, you're in the right place.
If the saw is new or very recently purchased, I'd return it. If you can't, then I'd try to take the upper wheel off and see if something was worn. HarborFreight sells replacement parts for the saw. Hopefully one of the more experienced saw users will have more insightful answers. --- In 4x6bandsaw@y..., "dwood1481" <dwood11@a...> wrote: This message contains a plea for help!all the others in this group. |

Blade slips off
dwood1481
This message contains a plea for help!
I've uploaded a photo ( bczWn69Abtm.rT9G) of my Central Machinery S-37151 saw, which I believe fits in with all the others in this group. I've tried to get help from some of the groups that may overlap—Sherline, Home_Machinist, Little_Machines. I got a number of replies, but none of them seem to help. The problem is that the blade consistently comes off the top (when the arm is upright) wheel. The manual (page 16) gives a procedure for adjusting the blade tracking. In my photo, the bolts marked D and E correspond to the callouts on page 16. For openers, I was leery of the instructions to make these adjustments with the machine running and the wheel cover open. Sorry, we didn't do it that way—closed the door each time before turning it on; and it's a good thing, because the blade would have been spinning across the garage. Consequently, we were never able to follow the adjustment procedure, which directs us to make the adjustments while the machine is running. We (my son and I—I needed moral support) found that the two wheels were not in the same plane. We checked this with a long straightedge. By moving adjustment bold D in and out, we were able to even them up in the same plane. But it soon became evident that the top wheel had both a pitch and a yaw problem, which we assumed that we could correct the pitch by adjusting bolt E, which we were able to do to some degree. But the wheel is still yawing enough to throw the blade off in just a revolution or two, and I can find no way to adjust the yaw. What are we doing wrong? How do we go about fixing this thing? Thanks, Dave Wood |

Re: Saw Stands
S. Foo
no, the original legs are long gone. One day in the shop I stepped
sideways to grab something without looking and managed to bend the leg on one end. So that sort of ended the original legs. On the new stand, when I roll it, these legs don't flex and skip a bunch, either. --- In 4x6bandsaw@y..., "Jim E." <jim0000@a...> wrote: Looks good, but what's wrong with the original stand?

Saw Stands
S. Foo
Hi,
I uploaded a picture of the quickie saw stand I built. It's 2x4's, a piece of plywood, some casters, and a sheet of peg board. Look in the "Photos" section on the website. The pegboard makes a handy spot for hanging a spare blade or two. Since it's angled they stay on unless you bounce the saw around really hard. Two of the casters swivel, making it easy to drive around the shop (which I have to do frequently cuz of limited space). Anyone else out there do something similar? |

Re: gear help maybe?
Ryan,
Thank you. I need a 2" dia. 23 tooth gear. Do you know if part #23 meets that criteria? I bought the saw used. It is red and made by Northern Tool. The only markings on the saw are: BS 450-C & the motor is 3/4 HP. Other than that, it looks like the cheap saws with the weak stand and 2 wheels at one end. Northern Tool told me they have, "No saw with those numbers!" Noone at Northern Tool Tech Support or Customer Service can/wants to try to help. If you change your oil, I would appreciate a note on what you find. ESPECIALLY, IF IT IS 2" dia. and 23 TEETH! Thank you very much, Charlie B. |

ago, except they referred to theirs as a "tabletop" model since it had no legs on the stand. Plus, you'll note there is no spring counter-balancing rod on it and no automatic cutoff switch. I own one of them, but never having used the 'standard' 4x6, I really can't compare them. Graciously, Jim Lakewood, CA All Hail Rube Goldberg! 4x6bandsaw@... wrote: Topics in this digest: |

you can decipher it, first, then which part it is that you are roughly looking for. I think it's #23, but I could be wrong. If that's the case, it's part #4-23 from Harbor Freight.

Well, From the looks of it, the motor's repositioning puts less weight at the end of the saw casting. This could help a tiny bit by adding some downward force to the blade as it cuts in the horizontal position. The saw casting looks a tiny bit different. Maybe it's a new version? |
