0:46 and that wobbly line down the length of the cut is why you need to use a fence while re-sawing lumber.

[@sammathis]

And a wider blade

[@therealnickroberts]

I'm so glad someone else saw that ☺️😅

[@chrisalister2297]

Duh. But without the fence, it gave you a reason to comment.

[@aaronloggins3904]

It was just a demo

[@bigscreenbird8198]

Actually a fence doesn’t always ensure a straight cut. That depends on the skill of the woodworker and if your bandsaw is tuned properly.

[@Parapresdokian]

I love how the soft and kind older people are taking care of this badass machines.

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

I thought they were going to explain how the actual blade was made hehe.

[@DoomFinger511]

me too

[@designercaolho]

same, but it's ok, nice instructional video nonetheless.

[@romajimamulo]

It's probably just stamped metal, like the razor blades in that episode

Same haha

How when it said how band saws are made and not band saw blades

[@MolonFrikenLabe]

I love this channel. I miss real, informative television. Beyond 2000, Connections, so many wonderful shows were left in the dust bin of history in favor of melodramatic "reality" shows. Shame.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what I expected, but looking back, this was exactly it... Ha.

[@nefariousyawn]

My first injury with a power tool was a bandsaw in 7th grade. You never forget your first, they say.

[@Skorpychan]

Mine was a stationary disc sander. The workpiece slipped, and it chewed my fingers while I was kicking the stop button.

[@whiteprivilege7961]

Man power tool injuries make me cringe at the very thought .more than anything else . The way the kick when they catch the bone .

[@Rescel1]

But you forget your last

[@CanOp3n3r]

My first was putting a 1/2” drill bit through my hand with a drill. Haven’t held the thing I’m drilling since

[@stoojinator]

Mine was with a bandsaw too. Put my index finger into the blade and almost lost it. Won't do stupid things like that anymore :)

[@JasonGastrich]

I used to make band saw blades. It was my first job when I was 15 years old at D&D Saw and Supply.

My dad’s old bandsaw kept blowing up on me, and only me, no matter how safely I tried to cut with it

[@icy_demons_]

Bewo?

[@ianboard544]

I'm with you on that one. I get a huge amount of use out of it.

nah, a modern miter saw is way better for wood. Bandsaws and circular saws have a reputation for cutting off fingers.

[@nomojo1110]

Grinding the table isn't to make the table "smooth and shiny". It's ground to make the table as flat as practicable.

[@anatolyivanov890]

That's how you damage the bearings during installation. It's better to hit the same ring you're trying to press in, not the other one. If you're press-fitting external ring of the bearing and you're hitting the internal one, the load of the impact goes through balls of the bearing and damages internal surface of the rings where balls roll.

[@misterdeedeedee]

when, when he's putting the bearings into the shaft housing or putting the wheel onto the shaft? either way in the first one the nut attached to the shaft is only contacting the inside race and he uses a tool for the other side to accomplish the same, then when putting the lower wheel on that tool is flat so it's contacting the inner race just as much as the outer one distributing the force which is required in order to drive it inside an ID as well as an OD at the same time and making it a non-issue.

[@Buckshot1217]

I was going to say that, but you beat me to it

[@stephenharvey5289]

you are absolutely correct

[@davyr4302]

I pray this is not how manufacturing is done generally. Couldn't they at the least stage proper bearing installation for the video.. what a bummer.

[@stephenharvey5289]

@@davyr4302 you would think so. But that may be a special made device with clearance for not touching outer race we don't know.

If beating the ball bearings is how this company presses those on a shaft , I believe this brand is /has been removed from the "to buy from " list . There are proper ways to do everything ,sad they failed many ways to do it right

@@SuperBongface no it was not a Cincinnati, it was a HEM set up in California.

[@Schjoenz]

My dad build one a decade ago. Using his craftsmanship skill. He's been using the machine as of his tools to creat furniture that helped us graduate from college. All his machine tools were handbuilt by my dad. He only purchase powertools like drills, jigsaw, plainer, sander and the likes. It's way cheaper to build your own than buying one.

[@southparklion]

the first cut wasn't the type of cut that you would make with a band saw. #TableSaw

[@virtual2152]

Mounting those rubber edges on the iron wheels with contact cement does not look like the sort of thing you would do right the first time you try it. I can see coming out of it with the rubber band and wheel glued to myself.

[@rubenescobar6461]

Though the part where old man was pretending to tighten the bolt with no socket on the end

[@darkholyPL]

...so this one time, at band saw camp

[@Viirrvill]

i used to use one of these bigger ones at the school i was in, and when the band jumped or snapped, holy heck it made a giant noise >.

[@ahoorakia]

5:02 looking at that old flag, sounds like they were rebuilding the old bad saw !😆😆

[@Camride]

I was wondering the same. I'm betting this was a rebuild/refresh of an old machine.

[@jvdg96]

I also guess they are refurbishing, I miss a lot of safety equipment for a complete new machine, like a emergency stop button and sensors on the doors that senses that the doors of the wheels are opened and stop the machine immediately.

[@Jockebanan99]

That's how to destroy the bearings...

[@halfnelson6115]

This is a quality saw. You can use this for your entire working life and then pass it on to your children. Even the case/covers are cast iron.

[@rasputin7633]

Yes indeed. It also had a Baldor motor in it. Definitely a heritage saw.

More like "how is it assembled?"

[@TheGreatAtario]

I never did get why the doubled-up rubber band

[@stephenharvey5289]

it's not doubled up. the "tire" is used to keep the wheel and saw blade "tooth set " from destroying each other and keeping blade tracking " position where blade runs on wheel" stable. 30 years experience talking

[@TheGreatAtario]

@@stephenharvey5289 I mean the part where they mount two of them, then apply adhesive and reverse one on top of the other. Why not just have a single one that's the final thickness in the first place?

[@stephenharvey5289]

@@TheGreatAtario I agree, when I did that to replace worn tier. I did not use two. My guess is that the extra diameter from the tier under the one glued and flipped made it easier.

It would be more interesting to see how they make the blade.. The assembly of the machines with the parts ready is kind of obvious..

[@georgiosrinakakis934]

@@MoonshineDesigns did I hurt you?

[@laurisikio]

you're right. How it's made often just shows us how things are put together, not actually "made". Usually the smaller and simpler the object is the better the production process is shown.

[@theedchannel9295]

I agree. Even though the process is probably the same for most construction cutting blades- the blade is stamped out of a roll of steel, rough shaped, tempered then final cut edge done- or something similar; seeing the process would be interesting.

[@therealswarvey]

I wouldn't buy any machinery from a company that drifts bearings into place by the inner race. The bearings won't last long

no on this machine the blue simply stops running. on a lot of machines there are limit switches that shut motor off. I have seen on the really high speed " friction sawing" there is actually a break system built into the machine. to stop the wheels turning if the band breaks.
