Superb design, and implementation! Congrats on being published in FWW.
Well,
I did get it completed, having to be be patient, slow and methodical with the leveling and parallelism adjustments. I set the sliding table about .001-.003 above the cast iron table. And...
I so appreciate hearing about your experiences and I don't think you have hijacked the thread at all. I am still confused by the concept of why the sliding table does not need to have to be parallel...
So priority is to get the sliding table level or close (+- .003 to .005), across the length of the sliding table, then worry about parallelism. I definately have a leveling job to do, as I noticed...
Fixed table has a .002 to .003 dip on either side of the blade. Corners front to back are even, if sliding my dial guage works as a test. I have a aluminum straight edge that is 24"
Why would I not want to try to get it zero over the entire length of the slider? Grizzly says that it should be possible by using the miter slot.
I also need to get it flat. Its a pain for...
We just ordered one with our logo. Excited to use it!
All,
I wasted nearly 8 hours yesterday trying to get my sliding table parallelism adjustment back into alignment. It started when I was checking my crosscut fence using the 5 cut method. The 4th...
My wife and I are starting to spend some more time together, building rocking chairs. She has had a bit of a epiphany for those that dont have a spiritual leaning, and a spiritual experience for...
He must have not been very smart then :D
Need a new tension spring.... notice the one in is all compressed. Only has a 3/8" blade on it.

Well - Its mine - picked it up last night. Talked him to $800. And yes - pics are coming. One thing I noticed is that the tension spring is very nearly completely compressed. It cut very well...
How are parts for this saw? I have heard that parts can be hard to come by. The saw runs well, and I might be able to get it for less than $900, but I am concerned about parts when things go bad. ...
All,
I have been in the market for a bigger bandsaw. Starting to build some rocking chairs a la Hal Taylor, and my PM 141 does not have enough clearance to make a few of the cuts needed. A...
Favorites - Can't pick just one. Love The Cowboys, and The Shootist, the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Man from Snowy River. One thats not a complete western in the traditional sense, but has Yul...
Hi Van,
That is. "Turbo Fly" is the name of the route. Its down in Maple Canyon, near Freedom Utah. https://www.mountainproject.com/v/turbo-fly/106757333. In the winter, it ices up just to the...
Well, the saw is back in action! I put a new Timberwolf 3/8" 4T blade on it, and followed guidelines to only worry about setting the gullets of the teeth on the center of the wheel, right on the...
Van, I did crown them. I watch a video on the concept of aligning the gullet of the teeth on the blade with the center of the wheel. I am going to give that a try. I have always just centered my...
OK, here is where we are:
1. Replaced Upper Wheel Bearings
2. Replaced Urethane Tires with Glued on Rubber Tires
3. Added a new Tension Spring
4. Checked lower bearings - Did not require...
Threads look good!
Hi Mark,
I can tell that the Urethane tires are crowned. It was a bear to get the tilt adjustment perfect to keep the blade centered. It would move forward or backward on the wheel if I did not...
I will give that a shots and get back to you!
