Could you have mounted the plate in front of the rear wheel or did that option not work out?
@ForrestMFG15 күн бұрын
I did look at that but it did not appear it would work. For one thing you would be pushing the detachable part uphill instead of dragging it behind you, and it surely would have gotten stuck. next time I load up I'll shoot a video of the process. Track season is over until late February around here so don't hold your breath.

if the rear was to bounce, would it cause the pitbull restraint to loosen or anything?

It can bounce, but it will not come free. All the pins and connections are retained with captive pins.

Excellent presentation sir. Everything explained in perfect detail. I am a DIY mechanic/hobbyist and own a small metal-cutting band saw that has served me well over 30 years; except, I am always breaking blades. I have always guessed at blade tension and realize this is the culprit to blade breakage. I cannot justify purchasing a Starrett or Lenox gauge, but it is obvious enough how they work, so I intend to make my own. I am a mechanical designer and a machinist so that should be no problem. I will incorporate a .001" dial indicator and tension my blades to the calculated stretch in thousandths.

Does this only work for that specific bike? I'm assuming the wheelbase would be different if you had multiple bikes and wouldn't work for more than one?
@ForrestMFG11 ай бұрын
correct, with this setup I can only load a bike with this specific setup. If you use the pitbull trailer restraint system on a typical flat bed trailer with no front wheel chock then that is not a limitation. If I want to take a different bike to the track on this trailer I either need to move the mounting plate or just not use the pitbull setup and mount the bike as kendon designed it.

Would it be advisable to preload the gauge just a bit, then set the dial to 0? That way you know the bottom pivoting arm is against the gage.
@ForrestMFG2 жыл бұрын
I don't think you would want to do that. Just slacken your blade until it is completely detensioned, but don't let the blade curve or get floppy. Then mount the guide and zero the indicator. You are possibly correct that a tiny bit of preload wouldn't matter. But I prefer to start with the blade slack but straight

@ForrestMFG2 жыл бұрын
thank you. When cutting graphite there are a couple of things to watch out for. First the material is very abrasive and will dull your blade quickly. then a dull blade will not cut straight. Next the dust produced when you cut graphite is electrically conductive, so if the dust gets into your motor or other electrical parts it may short them out.

I'm looking to do the same setup. Did you consider putting the pitbull base plate in front of the rear wheel so that way you'd push the bar into bracket instead of dragging it and wouldn't be as hard to adapt the bracket to clear the siderail since narrows towards the rear. I don't have a pitbull system yet so I can't do a fitting/measuring myself. I'm assuming the bar and base plate bracket will clear the trailer hitch hinge if mounted forward of the rear axle

@@RussellRambles On a flat trailer deck I'm sure it would work and I did look at that option. But on a Kendon trailer that would have required cutting down or removing the two round tubes which serve as a wheel guide. Probably could make that work on a Kendon with the additional work but I am satisfied with this setup. But then anchoring everything in front of the hinge would mean I would not need those clamps to hold the rear deck from bouncing. If you do mount one this way please post a video. I'd like to see how it turns out.

the blade is what is called a "scallop edge knife style blade" but it looks just like a bread knife such as you might have in your kitchen at home. We sell this blade or it is available from other specialty bandsaw blade manufacturers or resellers. It is kinda special stuff so not everyone who deals with bandsaw blades will have it.
