Knife making is cool ! I see a lot of custom knives in one of the mags I read, American Handgunner. The prices I see are way out of my budget but they sure are beautiful to look at. Best I can do

I can't hacksaw a piece of 1/2" anything straight so I know what you mean. What are you making with 2" steel ?

Well, first of all, thanks to everyone who contributed tips and advice on how to get the most out of these "cheap" saws. Projects: Welding table, adjustable height roller stands, stand for the

I own a company that makes ceiling mounted O scale (Lionel size) train layouts. I cut up to 1,000 pcs of 3/8" square tube to make 1 bridge. I also do custom wrought iron work sometimes cutting 300

Steel for knife blades I try and make (poorly..) Micarta for the handles, sometimes wood. Stock for turning projects. A few times wood for home improvement projects when I needed a narrower cut than

Well, it's just a saw... but before one came into my life... every project that I wanted to developed ran into a road block... all my stock was larger than the pieces I needed... and the prospect of

Hi guys, Wacked off another slice of 1.375 thick x 6.25 wide today with my 2nd saw, cut great like my 1st saw. Took about 1/2 hour to cut. Sprayed WD40 on it 3 times. Used a 10tpi bi-metal matrix

That's why I added a coolant pump to my bandsaw, first it's keeping the cut cool, secondly it flushes and greases the cut. Before, I was running in all the similar mentioned problems, now I can clamp

Hey Guys, I ran into a odd problem today. Here's the story... Every once in a while, when cutting large blocks of aluminum, the saw upper assembly would start a rhythmic jumping. This occurred once

The principal problem in cutting small, short, and odd-shaped pieces is to find a way of holding them while the cut is being made. One method is to fasten the piece to be cut to another piece

I took the pulley cover off and it still gets pretty warm, however, I have been sawing away for more than two years and it still works. I use my saw all of the time. The 10-14 variable tooth bi-metal

Make sure the blade has at least three teeth in contact with the workpiece at all times. Machinery's Handbook has a few pages devoted to blade selection. I have an assortment 6S, 10-14V, 18S and
