Pine Okay for Skids

 

I am going to place my bandsaw on skids. I can look it up but it likely weighs ~500# - Laguna LT16SEC.

Any reason I should not use SPF lumber for this? BTW, this stuff is couple of yrs old if not older. I can check for moisture as well.

493 pounds.? 500 is close enough ;-)

Hey Imran...only thing I would be concerned about is the softness of the wood and stability over time (twisting, cracking, shrinkage...) given the weight of the BS and time.

My 2000 lb bandsaw is on 4x6.? There is nothing precision enough on a small bandsaw for a wood base to be a problem.? Dave

My FB710 (900 lbs) sits on 2x4 douglas fir and plywood base, material from another machine's shipping crate and built to fit a narrow-fork pallet jack.? I think you saw the pictures I posted in another thread of the base.? Douglas fir's parallel-to-grain compression strength is about 1700 psi (source: engineeringtoolbox.com) .? After 1 year, the base has no visible change or deformity.??

Thanks everyone. I knew it was safe but since I hate avoidable rework I wanted to be sure.

Shinta, yup your post got me going to do this. I just do not care of the mobile base I got from rockler. Even though, I believe, I have found it’s resting place? it is best to make it movable. Plus I get to try my glue joint cutter before I use it for the door project.


(proper limiter has been ordered thru Felder)
