Re: Blade guide setup -- a question
I suspect they make these saw in batches and dismantle a lot of the jigs when they move on to another product. If they get setup wrong for the next batch then they may make 200,000 saws (totally

Re: Blade guide setup -- a question
Good that the new blade *did *fix your tracking problem Mark. I've read many times in wood bandsaw setup, that the positioning of the rear support roller is THE most important thing to set correctly

Re: Blade tracking problem
I was able to get my new blade tracking correctly, by paying a lot more attention to the initial setup for the idler wheel tilt mechanism.? My experience with this has shown that the shaft can be

Re: Blade guide setup -- a question
I looked for the video but didn't find it. The method I described just makes setting up the guides a little easier. The horizontal position of the guides isn't super critical. I think mine is

Re: Blade guide setup -- a question
This was my video. Yes "blade neutral" is an excellent way to describe this. To me this was a very logical and proven method of setting up the saw but I did confirm this with other saw manufacturers.

Blade guide setup -- a question
While browsing the web looking for 4x6 bandsaw alignment information I came across some references to "blade neutral" setup.? Basically, the guides should twist the blade but not push it away from

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
Lots of good DIY solutions here. I will admit to going commercial and just putting a longer hose on this brake bleeder. ( https://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html ) Taped the hose

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
I like the idea of using a pressure cooker...? but i would have to test the pressure cooker first by cooking some corned beef and cabbage.....

"The wine builds up pressure as it ferments ? I would think there's probably all sorts of safe-guards around that stuff." Yes there are safeguards.? Fermentation locks, basically the miniature

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
I think I got a large O-ring somewhere that just happened to fit.? No need for the weights- it's a vacuum chamber now.?? -Dave

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
If you have an Ace Hardware in your area, you can probably get a gasket from them. Also the weights and such. Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: SEMPER GUMBY!

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
I got a large, free pressure cooker a few years back and converted it to a vacuum chamber, but haven't used it for a real project yet.? I'm not sure what I used for a gasket.? I remember ordering

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
It works real well . the reason I ran a tube to the bottom of the pot on the intake was so it was far enough from the suction side so I wouldn't be pumping oil all over the place . I used the type

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
Need to add that you don't want to use much pressure to operate an elephant's head.? You don't want to split the seams of your container, destroy your expensive oak barrel or break your carboy if it

Re: Oil and general fluid sucker
I like the idea of an old canner-pressure cooker, particularly since we were "gifted" with a couple of big ones (even though we already HAD one).? It seems that few use them these days.? At least
