Awesome Bandsaw Album and Music Offers

The bandsaw is one of the most widely used woodworking tools, found in 3 out 4 home and professional workshops. Although deceptively simple - a steel blade rotating around two rubber-clad wheels, the bandsaw does its best work when it's tuned properly. Unfortunately, most owner's manuals provided by tool manufacturers are difficult to understand, and the drawings and photos are unclear.

In this book, professional woodworker Lonnie Bird gives all the information bandsaw owners wished came in the owner's manual plus much more - what to look for when buying a bandsaw and how to tune it up for optimal performance. The information is presented in an accessible, easy-to-understand way, making this a quick reference as well as comprehensive handbook. All the information is up-to-date and thoroughly researched. Excellent color photos by the author and a clean, friendly layout gives this book on a classic woodworking subject a fresh modern look. This clearly illustrated and photographed volume will quickly become the standard reference and is a must-have title for any woodworker..

The ultimate table system that does it all!
Looking to take your bandsaw to a whole new level of performance and versatility? Here's your chance. After you build the jigs, see the included section "Put Your Bandsaw to Work" for tips on putting the system to work in your shop. To provide you with a clear picture of what you'll receive when you purchase one of our shop-built downloadable plans, we've provided a brief summary of all the elements that this electronic plan includes:
1. Professional color photography of the finished product taken after we've finished building the project ourselves in the WOOD(r) magazine shop. You can even zoom in on the screen to see those little details.
2. For a clear idea of how our projects go together, we provide an exploded-view drawing with helpful details. All drawings are done professionally by our own staff off woodworkers/illustrators.
3. Large color photos and step-by-step instructions show exactly how we built the project in the WOOD(r) magazine shop. We build each project ourselves to work out any bugs before you ever get the plan.
4. Detail drawings and step-by-step illustrations provide necessary dimensions and machining processes you'll need to make the building process as straightforward as possible.
5. For error free construction, each plan includes a bill of materials; a cutting diagram; a detailed supplies listing; and, when necessary, a mail-order buying guide for hard-to-find hardware.
6. Parts-view drawings are used to dimension individual pieces to guarantee your building success..

Here, you get plans for a Horizontal/Vertical Metal Cutting Bandsaw that you can build from easy-to-find angle iron, flat bar, rod, pipe and easy-to-find hardware A small amount of welding is required, but most assembly is done with nuts and bolts of various sizes. Although a 9 inch lathe is needed to turn the 8 inch blade wheels, most of the other tools required are found in the average shop. You get such features as: heavy duty construction, a work capacity of 12 inch width with a throat depth of 6 inches . Miter cuts can be made by the adjusting vise. The saw uses a 3/4 blade and will cut in both the horizontal and vertical position. An efficient belt drive eliminate the need for an expensive worm gear. A specially designed locking wheel assembly makes the saw easy to move. And an automatic shut off stops the saw when the cut is complete. This is no simple single-afternoon project. Many assemblies and sub-assemblies are required, although none is exeptionally complex. For all the work involved, the end result is certainly worthwhile. This is a machine you will be proud of. To be sure, if you want a light duty machine that will do nothing more than slice off a length of bar stock, you might consider a cheap import. But if you want a hefty, high-quality machine that will cut large pieces of steel quickly and accurately, this project is for you. And the best of all, you will have built it yourself..
