How To Make a DIY Metal Band Saw

[@lovejcdc]

I have to say that this is the best DIY bandsaw I've ever seen. Especially the vertical option. This bandsaw should be the standard for all horizontal bandsaw machines across the board.

[@GBWM_CNC]

So glad to hear that! I think it has a bit room for improvement though! :)

[@grimmreaper6351]

Thanks for not wasting time with useless dialogue. Nice boardshorts! Aloha!

[@grimmreaper6351]

Adding a coolant feed and reservoir helps with blade life. Excellent product and video. Thanks!

[@GBWM_CNC]

Im glad you like it! :) i have already some upgardes in my mind - including the feed coolant

[@GBWM_CNC]

This was a really fun project! Thanks everyone for for following my work. PCBWay.com - thank you for sending me one of the band saw wheels - it was a pleasure to mount in the machine. With no doubt I can recommend your service! :) If you enjoyed - please leave me a like and subscribe for more fun projects!

Best of the best! I can never dream of fabricating such a great piece of engineering but your video occupied position one in my library. I loved so much your cutting prowess coupled with your tig welding skills. I wish I could like it 100k times. Thank you so much for sharing

[@GBWM_CNC]

So happy to hear you like my work! thank you :)

[@TradeWorks_Construction]

That is hands down hilarious and one of the funniest examples of mistaken identity. As to a Prosecutor or a Judge offering to cut a better deal for simply knowing “the correct attorney” hits close to home to examples in my own youth. The law often has a large breadth of scale for penalties (the difference between paying $100 vs $5000 or whether you serve jail time or not is quite big) and since it’s entirely up to the Prosecutor or Judge to determine where along that scale your punishment should be, having a good word on your behalf of someone acquainted with those determining the penalty really can go a long way.

Thanks!

[@victorreppeto7050]

That was a big project. I'm impressed that you completed it. It is leaving a very square cut on the end of the workpiece! I would like to see the Pivot Point directly over the work piece. If you add flood coolant I would like to see the rest of the video.

[@GBWM_CNC]

i'm not sure if I will add flood coolant to this particular version of the machine - maybe in the future in a new version of it (already have some upgrades in mind including coolant). Not sure what you mean about the pivot point though

[@filopat67]

You should have wiper/dust guard in front of the blade guide bearings to prevent shavings getting between the blade and the guide bearings.

[@GBWM_CNC]

You're right! I will have to think about something like that

[@AdrianPardini]

Outstanding work!

[@GBWM_CNC]

doing my best!

[@mojamalaradionica5091]

Very nice job :) Just few tips: try to make wheels for at least 20mm blades... This 13mm tend to brake after few cuts. Also, wheels shouldn't be closed on both sides, on teeth side on the blade should be open and teeth must be in the air so chips will fall out and when you tighten the blade, teeths would not be straighten...

[@GBWM_CNC]

Maybe when I build a new band saw I will use those hints as there are some small things I noticted after puting it together that could be changed. But for now I used already a bit this saw and works fine for now with the 13mm blade. You're right - the wheels could easily be opened on one side. But I don't exactly get the idea about the teeths that would not be straighten. Could you explain what you mean?

[@mojamalaradionica5091]

@@GBWM_CNC teeths are in criss cross patern, they are left right if you know what i mean? And when you tighten the blade and teeth are touching the wheel, they get straightened.

[@GBWM_CNC]

@@mojamalaradionica5091 oh snap, I get your point now. So with a 20mm blade the wheel size should let the teeth run outside the wheel. Thank you for your input. I will watch how it behaves as it is now and if it will be an issue I will fix this in the future or even maybe build a new one with all issues fixed

[@mojamalaradionica5091]

@@GBWM_CNC with all balde sizes should be like that, that's why i said you should make wheels for bigger blade. Even with 13mm teeth it should be 2mm outside the wheel. With 20mm also 2mm outside the wheel. If you straighten the teeth blade will not cut well or it will get dull very soon.

[@GBWM_CNC]

@@mojamalaradionica5091 I get the point now. Will see if the teeth actually will straighteen and how long will it take

[@iacovacheiuliangheorghe64]

Hello, I also have a band saw that runs on 380w and I only have 220w, could I put a motor on it to run on 220w? The saw is called Holzmann BS128HDR 400 V. There is also a 220 V version, but I can't find specifications for the motor. Thank you

[@GBWM_CNC]

I'm not familiar with those. But if all other parameters would be the same just the voltage was different - I see no problems

[@rafaantczak3050]

Witam widzę Kawał pracy wykonajej przytej pile mam takie pytanie w sprawie silownika jak dobrałeś parametry pod ciężar swojej pily bo mam pile prome i padł mi silownik a oryginalne sa beznadziejne i po roku lub dwóch padnie nowy czy byłbyś wstanie doradzić jaki dobrać siłownik i

[@GBWM_CNC]

Szczerze mówiąc, to po prostu znalazłem siłownik, który skokiem / rozmiarami się zgadzał z projektem, a następnie wyznaczyłem orientacyjnie masę ramienia tnącego i sprawdziłem, czy ciśnienie wygenerowane przez taką masę na siłowniku nie przekroczy dopuszczalnego dla tego siłownika pneumatycznego (max ~10 bar dla siłowników pneumatycznych z reguły). Wzór na ciśnienie, to po prostu siła przez pole powierzchni nacisku (należy wziąć pod uwagę powierzchnię tłoczyska - dużo informacji jest w sieci na ten temat).

[@artystamechanik9609]

Hello, can you tell me what is the name of 3D program you use for design?

[@GBWM_CNC]

Hi! I used fusion 360 for that build

[@artystamechanik9609]

I recommend you also Solid Edge for free use

[@GBWM_CNC]

@@artystamechanik9609 Recently I'm using ZW3D for my new projects and honestly It's quite a good piece of CAD software considering it's price. Also most of the softwares available are subscription-licenses now and ZW3D is still possible to buy for lifetime. I've been using Solid Edge in school but I didn't like it much but that's been much years ago (maybe it has changed after so many years though). Fusion 360 is really cool - the only thing I dislike there is the assembling module.

Hola: Como llegó a Polonia la costumbre de usar yerba mate? Aquí en Argentina (América del Sur) la costumbre vino hace siglos de un país vecino de nombre Paraguay, allí vivía una colectividad nativa o indígena que usaba las hojas de la planta (previo deshidratado para eliminar lo tóxico) y preparaban una infusión como se hace con el té.

[@GBWM_CNC]

¡Hola! No estoy seguro de cómo llegó a Polonia. Había un tipo llamado Wojciech Cejrowski, una persona bastante famosa que viajaba por el mundo y probablemente fue uno de los primeros en difundirlo por aquí a la gente. Al menos por lo que he oído, pero tal vez ya estuviera aquí antes :)

Great build, though since the advent of carbide metal chop saws, obsolete.

[@GBWM_CNC]

Hmm, the carbide metal chop saws have their cons too. The saws are really expensive and those are really loud. But yeah - much faster though

[@pieterveenders9793]

Incorrect. Band saws don't through large amount of sparks nor create a lot of metal dust and thus are much cleaner. Band saws also produce much less heat during cutting and can often even cut thick steel without needing active cooling to prevent work hardening. And lastly, you can turn a metal band saw upright and with the addition of a simple plate of metal as a cutting platform/table you can use it to literally figure saw through metal, physically impossible with a chop saw.
