You ask the question as if the 4x6 saw is the most industrious tools us DIY guys have in our garages. If someone asked me what kind of tools I have the saw would be low enough on the list I may

As the topic says, I am a bit curious why people need a small bandsaw to cutting something by themselves? As i know most of our bandsaw sold to US market and lots of DIY brands machine also do as

Ah, you are right. Sorry about that. Rick

Hey Rick, I'm not sure, but I think you might have missed the reference to wheelchair motors".

Robert, The controller that comes with it supplies the power. You just need 120 VAC. Rick

I would vote No. Although they could probably be made to work, they are probably made to operate off of a battery in the 9 to 24 Volt range. So you would have the additional expense of reducing the

Hi All Thoroughly recommend you look at Ricks article for setting up the saw for squareness (and copy for your files). https://rick.sparber.org/HorizontalBandsawAlignment.pdf I had a hand in reviewing

Hi Tom Check out this in the files section of the 4x6 group /g/4x6bandsaw/files/Replacing%204x6%20bandsaw%20motors%20v3.pdf Rgds - jv

I have a couple of wheelchair motors I just found when clearing up my workshop. Forgot I had them and not sure why I have them. Would they be suitable on a bandsaw, do you think? Philip

Tom, My guess is to get as big a motor as you can find. Hopefully others have a better answer. Rick

I see free treadmills on Free pickup forums all the time What motor would I look for to mount on my bandsaw? Thx. Tom

Thanks! I think providing someone else some inspiration is a key function of groups like this - both in terms of "I never thought of it that way" and " you way over engineered that; here is an easier

Bill, The 4x6 is a great saw and well worth the time to tune-up. Good luck with that motor! If I had to replace my motor, I’d be tempted to put in a DC motor with controller from an old

Really nice. I've been wanting to do this to my saw for a while now. Thanks for the photos. I have an idea how I can do it.

Thanks, Rick. Your email informed me that this group exists, and I bought a Taiwanese version, vintage 1983 or so, from Craigslist a while back. It needs a bit of restoration, which I'm not ready to

In case you haven't figured it out yet, the 4 x 6 Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw is a partially finished kit. Yes, it lops off bits of metal, but do you like the off-square cuts? If the saw's accuracy

Thanks!

I made my backstop on the outfeed side by making it over long and trimming it with the blade as the last step too. I've found it a problem only?when cutting very small length like 1/16" or less, when

Thanks. The original plan I had was to make the vise extension "sort of" close, but when I was figuring where to make the cut, it dawned on me just to mount it long and cut it in place. I was worried
