Because there is always a certain backset required for guides, for different blades which some bandsaws lack. Where a solid bronze or something solid guide gets eaten a new blade can have its outset/most productive edges beating hss bbrg guides and be destroyed. The other things which happen is inadequate adjustment or a blade is changed. FOR SALE Removed from a vintage Delta Rockwell 14 Band Saw Motor is.

Consider the solid finger has its imperfect contact 1/2-3/4" patch of contact whereas a bbrg must be away the contact area by 1/2" and only at 1/16" have the direction of the blade in its grasp.īallbearing guides are great and no other for the back bearing.

Then if you think of it the support across the side of the blade at two points is closer with solid guides than bbrgs. Then the guides come in for support and are adj as the table to the relation. You don't want it Always riding to the rear. Where does it want to ride? If it wants to ride forward slightly you better have some stock there for it to eat or depending on the frame and alignmentit may be right. See the way it goes you have your wheels and slack or whatever adjusted so that your blade can ring a low base note then back it off and adjust your side guides in. Solid as not opposed to yet different than bb guides. Something HV said which may not seem to make sense needs to be explained. I'll try to get some photos posted if I have time. I am not yet to that part of the project. The key item in any bandsaw is the blade guide and in order to end up with a tough and long-lived guide some alterations to this one will be needed, and if I decide to go to a ball-bearing guide there will need to be a complete replacement.

The motor/gearbox assembly is bolted to a pair steel angle brackets (with bronze bushings) which in turn slide on a pair of drill rod "ways." Belt slacking and change is achieved by moving the motor/gearbox chunk (and thus the driving V-pulley) forward or back by a leadscrew down the middle if the ways. I am currently in the process of completing a belt slacking mechanism. I then pieced together a pair of 3-step V-pulleys which most nearly gave me the range of blade speeds I needed and luckily everything worked out so that I have a range of speeds I can live with. I already had a Dayton 3/4hp/1725rpm C-face motor. I then began monitoring eBay and quickly picked up a new NEMA C-face 90-degree reduction gearbox for a pittance.
