79. Record Power Sabre-350 unboxing and assembly

[@GARDENER42]

Mine arrived at 2pm today. Thankfully the truck could get round to my garage & use his fork lift to put the pallet in the middle of the garage floor. I managed to get everything out of the packaging, assembled & stood up ready for setting up in a couple of hours - not bad for someone who will be 67 in 8 weeks. 😁 Fiddliest part was assembling the base & fitting the table but no major grief. The supplied blade isn't much cop for my intended use - resawing timber & small logs, so I'll be ordering a couple of 3tpi blades later. Going to do all the squaring & aligning tomorrow.

Good luck, I hope you are as happy as I am with mine, I still think it is a lovely machine and don't regret buying it one bit 😀

@@DIYTinkerer I asked my mate over in Alabama for advice, as he's far more experienced than me. Sent him a link to the 300 & 350 & he said the 350 is the same machine as the Rikon 10-326 he has & to buy it.

Nothing like new machines in the workshop

[@DIYTinkerer]

My workshop is getting seriously crowded!

[@SteveMonk1956]

That is a wonderful machine, I looked up the price and fell off my chair, but it looks like it is worth every penny. Class bit of kit.

[@DIYTinkerer]

Yes, but so far in extremely happy with it, everything about it is just lovely, I'll do a review in a few months

[@PatmosEd]

thank you, thinking of buying one soon!

[@DIYTinkerer]

Go for it! I'm still very happy with it

[@GrumpaLoz]

Well done Bud!- only just found this upload as KZbin had dropped my sub ( 😢) for some reason. The sabre 350 is a crackin' piece of kit and I'm still loving mine..... no regrets - except the price! 🤣.. and, yes, I too put the base on whilst it was lying down! not so much a tool as a family heirloom I think!

[@DIYTinkerer]

Thanks, agree it is an awesome machine.

[@eprohoda]

this is splendid ~

[@DIYTinkerer]

Yes it is an awesome machine, I'll do a review on in after a few months of use

Thank you for this down to earth video on the unboxing and assembly of the bandsaw. I did wonder in what state of assembly it would be delivered in and now I am fore armed with what I will need to do and make preparations to get some help prior to delivery when I make the purchase. I also saw your 1 year review on the machine and again I thought that very informative too. I didnt realise the sawdust just fell through the hole as you described though, I assumed it would have had a port where you could attatch a hose directly. How did you overcome this issue? Many thanks in advance.

[@DIYTinkerer]

Hi Stephen, I'm glad you are liking my videos :-) There is a 100mm port at the back, it is in the bottom right of the machine when viewed from the front. The point I was trying to make was that the port would be better located higher up under the Bed, It is a very minor point, only really made because everything else is so well thought out. I haven't got round to doing anything about it because it is so minor, it certainly would not stop me recommending the saw. Hope this helps

[@StephenSmith-fw2zk]

@@DIYTinkerer Hi again and thank you for your reply. I guess I will wait till mine arrives and see what the distance is between the port and the hose port and the effectiveness of dust collection. For me in a small workshop it is important to extract the dust at the source as effectively as possible. Thanks again.

[@jarosaw6839]

I see you like wood j and bikes like me :)

[@DIYTinkerer]

I think I just like making things and wood is a good medium - my channel was intended to be all things 'maker' but seems to have focused mainly on wood.

[@jarosaw6839]

Super

[@DIYTinkerer]

Thanks

[@jarosaw6839]

I'm just waiting for the courier to bring my sandra 450 today

[@jarosaw6839]

Sabre 450 😁

[@DIYTinkerer]

@Jarosław ooooo very nice, that will be a beast, I'm yet to find a wood mine won't cut!

[@jarosaw6839]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@Venomator.]

Wowsas, that looks to be an impressive piece of kit and I’m sure your dip into the inheritance will be very useful… ✅ Actually makes my Ryobi look a bit like a toy saw… 😂 I have already retired and having built up a useful collection of said manufacturer’s stuff, don’t have much inheritance left (unless I sell the house!)… 🫣 So there’s probably not much chance of one of those making its way into my tiny workshop any time soon… 🤪

[@DIYTinkerer]

It is an awesome tool, expensive, but worth every penny, I will do a review soonish
