8” Bandsaw – Some improvements

Made some improvements and also fixed a few issues.

This is where it’s at…all come together quite well.

1
Cut a slot in the guide arm for height adjustment and it’s held in place with a lock knob.

2
One issue was that the blade was to close to the guard cover so I had to rebate the MDF support strip on the router table…and we can try out the scissors jack router lift

3
Setup the router with a 16mm straight bit and set the depth to 2mm (router lift works well) and cut the rebate on the MDF blade cover – nice.

4
Another view from the front.

5
With the blade running clear of the guard put a nicer cover restraint on the frame, simply swing it down to open the left blade guard cover.

6
Added some plywood covers for the motor and there is still plenty of ventilation.

7
Front motor cover.
