Plastic gearbox cover - that's a novel idea.

Harbor Freight might be able to help you out if you call them and
order the part. Grizzly may also. In both cases I'd assume you'll
have to cough up for the part, of course. Check the manual for the
saw in the "Files" section of the group website, get the part # and
call HF to see what they can do to get you the gear. Someone else
might have a far better suggestion, though.

Little Machine Shop (www.littlemachineshop.com) has a nice page on
selecting bandsaw blades for different purposes. Check it out here:



They also happen to sell some blades, too.

Guys,
Thanks for the replies on the saw blade. It cuts 5 times faster than the
stock blade. I'd recomend getting a bi-metal and chucking the stock one.
What an improvement.

Hi,My name is Ed and I've made about five cuts with my new saw. Has
anyone figured a good way to install a chip brush like I've seen on
some of the higher end saws? It seems this would keep many of the
chips from fouling up the wheels, or am I too concerned about their
effect?

Thanks for any info.

Another thing to check with a new blade is the tension. I was
cutting .75" x 1.75" 303 stainless bar. When I started cutting, the
blade was properly tensioned and the adjuster locked down. By the
end of the fifth cut, the kerf was wider where the blade entered the
work. The blade was loose. There was obviously some stretching of
the blade. This was the cheapo blade supplied with the machine. I
don't know if the bimetal blades will stretch as much, but the
tension should still be checked often.

Barry,

One thing to check on a new blade... make sure the teeth are pointing in
the right direction. On one of the H.F. blades, they were reversed.
Easy to fix, just turn the blade inside out.

Great, Just thought it should have looked different. I'm going to hack up
some 3" stock with it today.
Thank You Leo

I bought some carbon steel blades from Harbor Freight and some bi-metal
blades from Enco. Appearance wise, they look the about the same.

Hello All,
I just got a Grizzly G5113 blade for my HF 4X6. Does a Bi-metal
blade look any different than the stock blade? Are these Grizzly
ones a quality product?
Thanks,
Barry

I cut most brass and aluminum dry. However, if the cut will be a large
one where heat will be of a concern, I lubricate the blade with paraffin
wax. This collects on the workpiece at the cut site.. If the heat gets
intense, it melts and lubricates the blade.

On steel, I usually use a cutting oil.

Robert, dry cutting is sure cleaner than liquid, I got the Starret
blade they last real good, my motor burnt the second time I used it,
put a flea market motor and run it with one pulley only, they might
not be the top of the line but they beat a hacksaw, Joe G.

I never use any type of cutting or cooling fluid on mine. I
regularly cut through 3.5" 1018 cold rolled steel rounds dry and
have had no problems. I use the middle speed setting and a 14 tpi
blade. I have cut 1018 dry for 1.5 hours straight with no problems.

Does any one on this list use cutting fluid when cutting steel

with

your bandsaw? If so, what do you use, or recommend for it? I'll

be

cutting some bar stock soon and was curious what folks were doing
when they cut it. Thanks.

I can put the measurements in the files if you think some might want
to copy it, the small part that goes around the pulling wheel cathes
a lot of metal, the rubbermaid is a good idea, saw some long thin
pans at hobby lobby that would be good also, happy sawing, Joe G.

thinking of using a rubbermaid pan and mounting it to the bottom of

Hey fellows I will post a pic of the chip pan that come with the

snedi, I have used WD40, LPS,kerosine, I have mine set up with
a pump, a large canister fuel filter, settleing bowl before the
filter, using the karosine now, I am about ready to take all that
off, I find it to messy, Joe Guidry

Jim, I got it today, found out that It belonged to the School Board
and they don't do repairs anymore, contracted out, I took the stand
off and will mount it on a stand that I have already made, works
good, will clean it and paint, will put in the photo section, have a
good week, Joe guidry, La.
