Homemade 8" band saw – blade change
The blade that I’m changing has done a lot or work so no complaints about the quality of AYAO band saw blades.
8″ Bandsaw – what’s that noise?
Lower wheel tyre has shredded!
8" Bandsaw – revisited
This is just a overview of what I’ve been doing in the workshop over the last few days…and nights. I built the 8″ bandsaw last year and since then have not been happy with the design of the upper wheel block blade tension and blade alignment components. Adjusting one effects the other, increasing tension jams up the tracking adjustment…plus other stuff. Basically that design was flawed so I am building a scaled down assembly very similar to the 14″ bandsaw that I built earlier this year.
This is the upper wheel block blade tension and tracking assembly. It does work but to hard to setup up so I’m going to pull out the whole thing and start again.
8” Bandsaw – Finished lower blade guides
Finished off the lower blade guide assembly.
Put the table back on to do some test cutting.
8” Bandsaw – Lower blade guides continued
With bearing guides above and now below the table the blade should hold it’s course even better on the cut line.

8” Bandsaw–Lower blade guide assembly
Back to the bandsaw, we still need to do the lower bearing guides. With the table removed sit and think for a while…thinking.
8” Bandsaw – Revised the tension bridge support.
This one is from pine and fills the whole centre section, not only across but front to back as well – it’s like a cross.

8” Bandsaw – Some improvements
Made some improvements and also fixed a few issues.
This is where it’s at…all come together quite well.
8” Bandsaw updates
200mm Mini Bandsaw – made a simple fence for the saw, the epoxy is drying to secure the 8 mm lock bolt that screws up from below into a threaded hole in the base. Next job is to route a track for the mitre gauge.
