8” Bandsaw – Base for saw
Made a base for the saw and redesigned the motor mount assembly which can now bee easily adjusted for pulley alignment and belt tension adjustment.
The motor assembly can slide left or right for belt tension and move front to back for pulley alignment.

8” Bandsaw reached a milestone
200mm Mini Bandsaw – we have reached a milestone with this project :-) The upgraded wheels are mounted…with tyres !!! and the upper wheel mount assembly has been redesigned :-)
8” Bandsaw – Upgraded wheels
As previously posted the wheels now have larger bearings pressed into flange blocks. The wheels are now mounted on larger 10mm shafts – runs nice and smooth.
The 608 skateboard bearings could not handle the load.
8” Bandsaw more updates
200mm Mini Bandsaw – some updates.
8” Bandsaw – Some updates
Having upgraded the bearings from Skateboard 608’s to 6200 2RS (30/10mm) I also now need to upsize the upper wheel mount block. As it turned out I ended up completely redesigning the upper wheel mount.
8” Bandsaw updates
200mm Mini Bandsaw – having completed the upper wheel dismantled stuff around the bottom of the saw so I could remove the lower wheel.
