Re: OT: Bainbridge 712 resurrection
John, Thanks I have a couple of pictures. They are attached. As you can see, the drive shaft and wheel looks to have been modified. I can't confirm because I have nothing to compare against. I believe

Re: OT: Bainbridge 712 resurrection
Hi Darren Bainbridge made saws a lot like a 4x6. I'm guessing a model 712 is a 7"x12". If it is similar to their smaller ones, the same things that fix 4x6's will fix it. Please post a photo of yours

OT: Bainbridge 712 resurrection
I realize this is a bit off topic. However, I've recently come to own an old Bainbridge 712. While it isn't the best out there, the price was right and I couldn't pass it up. It is quite functional

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
John, great document thank you for pointing that out. I don't have the original stand, would you mind measuring have far back from the rear of the casting of the saw base your wheels are and how far

Sorry I'm late to this discussion. The Files section of this site has a doc I wrote on changing motors (Replacing 4x6 bandsaw motors v3.pdf). At the back of the doc is a section addressing stability

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
Thanks David. I'll consider how I can incorporate a drip pan, I'm planning on using a fog system rather than a flood coolant system so a large collection area isn't as important. I've only read what

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
If I was to make a stand for my saw I¡¯d make it large enough to support a large drip pan that could catch run offs in the vertical position. If you go this route the wheels should end up well behind

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
"You might want to rethink how far back to put the rear legs/wheels. When the saw is lifted to the vertical position, it is located quite far back and there is a lot of weight out there. I had to redo

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
Hi Guys, I¡¯ve had my saw for about 15 years. I put a 2 wheel home built set of wheels on it at that time. They worked ok, a pain to move about in my current shop. So a couple of years back I

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
Thank you for all your replies and posting photos, very helpful and reinforced my thoughts on just mounting direct to the wheels. The saw will get moved round a bit so I doubt flat spots will occur

Well, mine is still on the original stand. And hasn¡¯t moved but once or twice in 37 years. When I had to pull it out to cut something that was just too long for where it normally sits. So I guess

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
I would agree that the saw is tail heavy (depending on how you look at it!), but the advantage of a cart (HF or homebrew) is that the extra size and weight of stored items makes the saw much more

Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
If I were doing it, I would have the wheels just clear of the floor, for two reasons. First, leaving the weight of the saw on the wheels will eventually result in a flat spot on each wheel. Second,
