Hello John The photos are loaded on the website under Rod's Photos which is my build. Uploaded when I initially purchased the saw approx 15 plus years ago. I originally purchased two of the cylinders

Hi Eloy Can you show us the downfeed control you made - hot topic right now - jv

Here is my shelve stand for my saw. I set it upside down to make the bottom of the shelve a coolant drip tank. Just welded up the seams to make it water tight. I never installed a coolant system but

Hi guys, Thankyou all for the great response to the picture of my hydraulic cylinder, Bill B, Thanks for the pressure gauge idea, thanks also for the pressure setting, a great starting point & the

Hi John, I ordered my cylinder and it should be here next week.? ?I just wanted to provide a part number for those who are contemplating purchasing a cylinder.? ?I don't think $64 is bad for a

I know you have your cylinder already Dave but for others contemplating fitting hydraulic downfeed you can often get a pneumatic (air) cylinder for nothing from a local process plant that they throw

I've been wavering back and forth about making my own cylinder or buying it.? ?I determined it would be more expensive to make it because I would have to buy the drill rod, the aluminum, the

Excellent job.? I have watched the videos but thought that the process was overly involved.? How long did it take for your build?? ?I was hoping to find a simpler solution using maybe an old trunk

Kerrin: I like it. do you have a Parts list with Part numbers?

The reason for cutting it with the Vee on top is that it is a stable orientation while you are positioning the material prior to tightening the vise, after the cut starts the thickness being cut is

Great Post Bill! Thanks for the article reference. Shall put a gauge in mine. Its a visual monitor that the saw is still cutting right. BTW. All the info I've seen says lay angle vee up on the vice

When I started this process, I found the 12" Craftsman bandsaw (1950's vintage, probably) for $40, and it was a stretch to afford it. I accumulated shafts, bearings, and sheaves that would let me slow

Bill in OKC, I put a Consew 3/4hp Brushless DC

In your example of cutting a angle it is better to place the angle so the toes of the angle are down and cut the corner first. Paul M

I ended up purchasing the SawCyl hydraulic downfeed kit with pressure gauge. I also find the pressure gauge very useful in allowing adjustments for maintaining constant, even pressure through the

Kerrin: Nice job on your feed cylinder. FWIW, I also installed a cylinder based on the Machinist's Workshop article, and made the improvements shown in Greg Halligan's video (

Hi Bill, Sounds like you and computers get on well! I have days were I hate them! Oh I also learn lots of new computer terms from my wife when things don’t go the way she thinks they should! Covid

Hi Kerrin Nice work on the hydraulics! I'm just about to re-set my saw on an old 2-drawer filing cabinet on wheels and need a side mounted downfeed control cylinder so be interested in how yours

Yes, and no, on the computers. I've been playing with them since the late 70's, and think they're marvelous toys, but I'm not sure they're ready for prime time, yet. I want bullet-proof,

Hi Bill, Don’t you just love computers! Yes it replaces the spring, the green knob valve is an on/off one which stops the flow & holds the blade from falling, just the ticket for setting material
