I'd just like to feed back my experience with this flooring project. It might be useful for others.

I decided to use 1/2" interior/exterior spruce ply as the subflooring enhancement material. ...

Thanks for the reply Neil. The floor integrity is quite fine; it's not because of poor structural integrity that I am considering this subfloor strengthening. I might have been misleading in my...

Noob question regarding flooring. I'm planning on installing 3/4" oak solid wood flooring on the main floor of my house. The old flooring has been stripped off, down to the 1x6 subfloor. Joists are...

I agree with Brian; part off the machine before loading it. I moved my 60cm Centauro BS this way in a van. I removed both wheels, table, motor, and blade guides. You will save tons of weight which...

I've read that you can soak the tires in hot water to make them more pliable and easier to fit.

Hi Rick,

Just noticed this thread and wished to congratulate you on your purchase. I own a Centauro 600, a very similar saw to yours. Joe Meazle was after a manual in one of the earlier posts. I...

Thanks for the great advice, guys.



I also tend to agree with your argument,Tom. This bench is not a unique example of the workbench art by any means. It is a tool in my mind and should be...

Thanks for the video. It inspires me to flatten my bench but I am facing a dilemma. My bench is a traditional European cabinetmaker's bench, well over 75 years old. There is a lot of "patina"...

Are these guides able to be retrofitted to other makes of bandsaws than Laguna? I have a Centauro 500 (20") which is the brand used as the basis for the Laguna line. My current guides are original...

If it's a standard 22mm switch in the TS switchbox, then the switches sold by Princess Auto will not fit. They sell ones that are 17mm I believe. The best bet is an industrial electrical supply.

Nice job, Marcus!!!


What is the purpose of the small square spacer blocks as the strip glue-up progresses? I've not seen this before. Is this something you devised to solve a problem or is it...

Wouldn't it be just as easy to buy blades with 5/8" diameter arbor holes and bore them to 25mm. That way you avoid the spacer washer.

Agreed. Hell, I can't even defend the purchase of much of the machinery in my garage to SWMBO, yet alone to someone on this list :). But, I went the used route for my bandsaw and got a 20" Centauro...

Oopsie Bill, I think you meant 3000-4000 surface feet per minute (SFPM), not RPM. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a bandsaw whose wheels are running at that speed; talk about catastrophic...

Neil,

Too bad about your starter. You could shop around online and find an equivalent unit either from K-M or from another manufacturer like ABB, Siemens or similar. You'd have to research...

Neil,

That's a question for which I don't have an answer. I can't find enough information about your motor control to give a qualified answer. I've been trying to find similar units made by...

Actually,that switch is a magnetic switch. According to the data sheets (http://www.moellercatalog.com/Documents/Chapter_8/08006_17.pdf and...

There is usually a motor overload relay inside the mag switch and it is possible that this overload realy has tripped. If you look inside the mag switch, look for a trip indicator and reset button. ...

I, like John, am no bandsaw expert but I have own a couple of bandsaws and know what works and doesn't work for me. So, I will discuss what I have found important in a saw from my experience.

My...

I'm also wiring my shop (attached garage) with a small 60A subbpanel. The circuit capacity is currently fixed at 40A because I am using an existing house circuit currently terminating in a 40A...
