Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
?I have a benchtop mini-mill with a rotary table for milling curves or drilling out precise bolt hole circles and such. Rotary Table from LittleMachineShop.com So my idea would be: Instead of

Re: HF sawblade?
Unless I'm missing something Dave your saw is the same as most everyone else's, and I was talking about something else entirely Let's define some terms first: The guide assembly is made up of a guide

Re: HF sawblade?
Hi John- My saw is an '85 Packard with a capacity greater than most 4x6s (there are photos of it in the photo section under Packard).? I may have something similar to what you mention:? the roller

Re: HF sawblade?
Dave, just trying to decipher what you've said. Have you got one of those old HF 'Greenie' saws with the one-piece cast alloy guide assemblies sliding on the outside of the sawframe casting, where the

Re: HF sawblade?
While I was waiting for new blades from sawblade.com to arrive this week, I spent some quality time with my saw and discovered that there was a lot of gunk between the blade guide bar and the slot it

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
Exactly.? I don't particularly like that arrangement because if you aren't careful you could get the "proper" clearance adjustment but be in a less than ideal situation.? I know because I was

Oops , I went back over his posts , he said there were 2 on one and one on the other . -- Snag In 1775, the British demanded we give them our guns. We shot them.

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
You're right there is no reason to have 2 on one guide and none on the other. Tony's photos showed both guides adjusted snug, and you can't do that with no eccentrics so I assume there are eccentrics

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
Why would they use 2 eccentrics on one guide bar and none on the other ? I thought perhaps some previous owner might have mixed them up and put one on the wrong guide bar . -- Snag In 1775, the

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
Some saws have eccentrics on both sides of the blade like my old UC115 (and I think Tony's) and others have them only on the outside like yours. Better made ones normally have only one, where not so

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
Well you could look at it a different way. The table IS square to the blade, it is just the wrong shape.

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
My saw blade is adjusted to where it cuts straight in the horizontal position. That is where I do alost all my cutting. That is what it is built to do. If I wanted to make my table perfectly square to

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
You mentioned in an earlier post that both eccentric blade guide rollers were on one guide . My saw has one on each guide bar , and I'm surprised that no one else has commented on this . That in

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
As I said, I do want to use a fence and that's a ton easier if the table is square to the blade. And @Other Bill......it's definitely not that easy to fix using either the OE range of adjustment or

Thanks, John, excellent description!? And thanks for all of yours and everyone else's input, much appreciated.

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
Me three! It’s what I mentioned at the get-go, since my saw has that out-of-squareness too, and….I don’t care, it doesn’t bother me. If it did, it’s easy enough to fix! Other Bill Sent:

Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
I must be missing something here. Why do you care if the blade is square to the table? Unless you are using a fence or jig do you really care, and if you are using one of them, why not just build it

Re: Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
I actually did have a "reverse slot" table but recently went back to the OE table because I am starting to change blades more often.? It had the same issue but that's probably because I used the OE
