HI everyone - sorry I’ve not been to any meetings lately. IsGood has been busy on Thursday evenings.
You may remember my giant 27" bandsaw - its old, there’s no manual, the company doesn’t exist and who knows what sort of retrofits there have been.
I’ve replaced the blade and a bunch of bearings in the guide rollers but I have exhausted my skill in getting the tension and alignment correct. I’m not a n00b - I’m quite adept with the smaller bandsaws but for whatever reason this one isn’t responding well.
Even the slightest extra tension on the blade makes is move forward to a dangerous position on the lower wheel and I’m out of bias adjustment. It was working before I took it apart so I’m down to the conclusion that its the blade itself (its brand new) or I am missing something about a bandsaw this size.
If any of you guys know someone who might know or enjoy fixing giant tools like this please let me know. Happy to pay - not looking for a freebie.
