Gentlemen,

I faced the "wheel in the way problem" when I first confronted the saw blade change. Geez guys, all that is needed is to pull the keeper pin, pull the wheel
off, change the band and...

David,

Congratulations on your installation of Zambus casters on your MM16. I haven't seen Van's tutorial on his installation but I did a similar
conversion when I installed the Zambus Casters...

Dave,

Here is the link to the manual that shows two of the four bolts that adjust the table....

Dave,

I couldn't tell from your pictures how the bolts would work on the table. On the MiniMax (Centauro) those four bolts connect the table with it's connection to the
saw frame. You can't...

Robert,

I have the same saw you are reporting on. Those four bolts under the table are the adjustment you will need to take the .022 dip out of the table. It's a
royal pain in the butt to...

Jim,

You could call Fedex Ground. You will need to lay it on it's spine and strap it to a pallet or pallets. I would also encourage you
to take the table off and stow it next to the saw, also...

Jason,

When I called Western Roller to order a set of wheels for my
brandnew feeder, I was told that these new tires just are no
damn good. It's part of the fun I guess buying new tools and...

Robert,

I've got a MM24 and absolutely love it. I've resawed so 20" wenge recently and it was a job pushing it through the saw but it never slowed
down and wanted more. Good luck, it is best...

Saul,

I agree with most of the folks that have chimed in on always using the guard. One thing I did since I have an overhead guard that can be moved
away when necessary. I took a straight edge...

Bob,

You can get this lubricant from: MSC-Direct; McMaster-Carr; or Grainger in several sizes. I just got some from McMaster-Carr in a gallon jug. I'm guessing that a life time supply, even if...

Bill,

Go to the MiniMax-USA website. Check out your new machines manual
and parts list. You should be able to see the complete view of the machine. I'll bet that there is room on either end...

Harold,

The best pricing for Lennox bandsaw blades is from:http://www.bandsawbladesdirect.com/?gclid=COyEkdHT1aMCFQMBbAodB2F4ug

I spoke with Tom Witt and he gave me a very good price and the...

Bill,

Congratulations on your new tool. I have a minimax j/p and really love it.
I think the Italians really have a good, strong machine and you should get
years of service out of it. Plus...

Ian,

I just ordered 8 new blades from Tom Witt at:

bandsawbladesdirect.com

One of them was a Lenox Trimaster carbide band for my MM 24 and it was a 194" band. It was by far the least I...

Hello,

My name is Rye Crane and I just posted a message on the CNC forum. I think this forum is where I should have done the posting.

I am about 30 miles east of San Francisco, in Pittsburg,...

Cameron,

Man, I don't know where you found this wood but you got a real steal.
The claro walnut goes for about 16-22.00 a BF and the curly redwood
can get close to the same price. I paid...

Ian,

I have a mini max 24" /Centauro 600 bandsaw with the 24" resaw capacity. It has a 4.8hp S1 Italian motor and I recently was resawing
some 18" wide Wenge that was about 6' long. I pushed...

Roy,

I found a set of plans and instructions in Woodcraft's Magazine issue Volume 5 No. 26 December 2008- January 2009 page 10 with templates.
It looks like a nice plan, using brass rod to...

Peter,


Great saw deal you've got. Just one thing, Meber's are sold in the US by
Laguna and Centuaro is sold by Minimax.

Best of luck with your new Italian beauty, get yourself a Lennox...

Matt,

Your carbide bandsaw blade needs at least 25000# tension, but more like 30-35000# tension makes it work great. I don't know the capacity of your bandsaw but try burying the spring, crank...

Jim,

Thank you for the video. I didn't see or hear your cat, I even lined up my
two kitties and they didn't alert either. So much for a watch cat, right?

I didn't go with a chunk of...

Todd,

Yes, you have it right. The threads on my saw were also a little buggered up and I ran a tap through them, no problem.

I discovered an easy way to either raise or lower the saw with...

Peter,

I use this band on my MM24 bandsaw, it likes upwards of 30,000# of tension. I am pretty sure my other 14" Delta won't pull that much tension even with it's "improved tension spring by...

Hi,

I have a Mini Max FS2 which is a 520mm or 20.5" jointer/planer with
tersa 4 knife head. 4 speed planer and it's 92" long overall and has
9 hp 3 phase. It's a killer at 2400" with the...

Tom,

I can't speak to the pricing on a used J/P Minimax or otherwise. But I do own a MiniMax FS2 (520mm) j/p and love the Tersa head. It has 4 knives that are reversable and it takes about 4 or...
