Nordraw Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 That looks like a fun project that would be very cool when it's all said and done. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 any update? motor mounted and working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 @JimboS1ice no it isn't. Trying to get it figured out. Friend is coming back tomorrow. Working 3-11p really kills my times on when I can collaborate to get someone over to look at it. Will try my neighbor tomorrow as well, he use to be an electrical engineer.

rrich1 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Drill press is done! Had a few hiccups with the wiring but got it figured out. Also had to reuse the old motor bearings and she spins freely and smoothly. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what I found on Craigslist in Tampa! https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/tls/d/craftsman-band-saw/6328660878.htmlThat would be a fun restore. There had been a few pop up within driving distance of me but I never called. If I had the room to put one for the sake of it I would. Resaw capacity was what I really need/wanted.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk I wish I had the space for it too! It's massive! I could really use a bandsaw...right now I'm rigging up an old jigsaw, upside down, clamped in the jawhorse as a make-shift bandsaw. I've used it to cut 16" long pieces of metal(cutting lengthwise), that was definitely not OSHA approved. The pieces were too thin to clamp down and use the jigsaw properly.

Been a great machine so far. Think it's the 10-324.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about their benchtop planer. Wow $650 for that bandsaw is like half price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have one across the bay. I've been thinking about their benchtop planer. Wow $650 for that bandsaw is like half price! It's priced similarly to the grizzly and this one has a lot more features. Higher hp motor, 13" resaw capacity stock so no riser kit needed. I am going to resaw some mahagony here soon. I'll do a review after that. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
