14” Bandsaw – table prepping

With the basic blade guide arm setup and before we start making the actual blade guides we need to make ready a temporary table and put that aside for now.

Running out of off cuts so got down a 2400mm length from my stock of MG10 pine. No problem cutting this stuff on the big Ozito 12” sliding mitre saw. The stand arms will extend out to 2 metres. Here only the right is extended.

Measured and cut one for table support plus a smaller one to fit in behind the lower wheel.

This main centre support along with more bracing will support the table.

As mentioned I need to know, with a correctly tensioned and aligned blade, where to make a mark so I can cut the blade access slot on the table saw.

With the above in mind we’ll put the temporary table aside for now.
