HYDMECH DM-1215 Bandsaw: Delivery & Uncrating

[@dbriggs1689]

Can't wait to see some jobs getting done in the new shop.

[@eastcoastwatch672]

Hey Adam, not for nothing but, I think a nice bright painted stripe on the floor for the truck drivers so they can gage for clearance in their mirror to prevent hitting your new machine. That’s what we have in the fire house and it makes real easy to back in nice and straight !

[@countryracer69]

I pave, seal and stripe parking lots for a living. Most area firehouses use us. And I started about 6 years ago shooting the stripes inside for them. It does work great.

[@carldawson5069]

Cutting crate reminded me of the fun i had as a mid-teen. My dad showed me how use a cutting tourch and had a 20 ton (capacity) cooling tower frame to shrink down for scrape use. The rapid zip-zip you did reminded me how quickly i took it apart. At least it seemed quick. New tool and a teenager allowed to destroy something. Grin, grin, grin!.

[@nicholaspayne349]

I live vicariously through Adam. His wild machine purchases make me extra jealous. I’m a fabricator and tig weld for a living but I aspire to put together a few machine tools in my home shop to learn manual machining. Ive been watching Adam for several years at this point since he was doing heavy stuff at the old shop and love every video. Keep it up man this is my favorite channel on this platform.

[@billoxley5315]

Those are excellent saws. The shop I retired from bought a very large capacity model. The washdown hose made cleanup much quicker after sawing a truckload of parts.

[@-Kreger-]

Congrats on the new equipment. Love seeing your shop growing. I bet your dad and grandpa are watching with big smiles.

Lucky! We've been waiting 2 months for our Hydmech P350 for the shop. They're EXTREMELY busy right now, which I think is awesome because that goes to show just how in demand they are. It's well worth the wait. I gotta say it's a beautiful machine, Hydmech really knows their stuff.

[@simcoespring]

that is pretty awesome. They are made about 1hour from my shop here in Ontario Canada. I really like their DM-1318P Auto feed table for multi-cut applications. That would be amazing for production.

I love the HYDMECH band-saws so much. thanks for showing me these. I'm currently looking for a band-saw myself and they are so close to my shop I can just go there and pick it up!

A very fine workshop! It just keeps getting better and better! I am happy with you! 😊😊😊 Greetings from Dresden! 😎

[@MyShopNotes]

For sure a vertical rack for the long pieces. Awesome saw.

[@deakindog7525]

appears to me the most needed new machine would be a forklift

[@littlejackalo5326]

Nah. Buying a forklift to move something one time a month is completely worthless. A forklift isn't worth it unless you're using it everyday or multiple times a week.

[@deakin2880]

@@littlejackalo5326 can't use it multiple times a week when you don't have one. my worthless forklift has been saving my ass for 37 years now. routinely borrowing one will eventually wear out the welcome. not my shop, not my problem but i would have bought the forklift in lieu of a jib crane

[@Romuls753]

Nah, get a telehandler

[@joe51chevy7]

I used to think I didn’t need a forklift until I bought one. I’m not sure how I would run my business without one now.

[@beetlebaily1972]

I’m enjoying the new tools with the new setup in the new shop. I’m not a machinist, I’m a woodworking but still enjoy seeing new stuff.

[@ricko5123]

I fabricated a few tall vertical racks for my shop separating all my aluminum and steel and was a great ground space saver. Also a great new project for your new mill would be to make attachable/detachable V-Way style vice jaws for the new Hydmech for your rounds and angle iron cuts. I made them for all my single cuts on my Scotchman 14inch CPO350 Cold Saw and they work great. Different saw but same concept...

[@don1031]

I will never set up a machinist shop and am glad you have the opportunity to do so, Adam. There must be a host of machines that could be added to a well-equipped shop, I am curious to know what you think are the essential machines to effectively operate a shop. In my wood shop, for instance, I have four different routers but I could get by effectively with just one. And I have both a miter saw and a table saw. I use both all the time but there isn't a cut on the miter saw that couldn't be done on the table saw. Frankly, there isn't a cut that couldn't be done with a hand saw but I'm not looking at it that way. So, if you boiled it down to essential, common machines, what would you choose?

[@xelaxander]

It's so nice watching a video that has absolutely nothing to do with my job.

[@gasworker3042]

Nice show room!

[@garrattfan]

Congrats. I usually dislike so-called unboxing vids “oh look at me, cutting away cardboard”, but you know how to make it a story with loads of interesting details and considerations, even if the smallest of your smallest machines would have my largest for breakfast.

[@heliarcweldandmachine]

they finally put a coolant gun on the side of the machine ! thats awesome, everytime i use mine i have to pull off a main feed and hose ours down, time to tee one i think. also, you should price up a little electric forklift, so good in a small shop. you wont regret it, its like having another pair of hands withyou

[@michaeltuckerman6983]

[@plang42]

[@daviddavis703]

Adam and Abby both work very hard for everything they have. The only people that need to worry about their income is Adam and Abby... and the IRS. They both appear to enjoy/love their jobs and KZbin. Many of us just dream of having a job we love or the ability to travel as they do. They have proven hard work, persistence and dedication can and will pay off with life goals.

[@2lefThumbs]

Probably more along the lines of "product placement"/ sponsorship tbh, same way he got the one at the house, and the tapping machine there. Also every bit of kit he's featured in the new shop, from crane to toolpost so far

[@josephcote6120]

Great old machines that are easy to fix up. Spiffy new machines. Feels like it's gonna be a great place to work.

A cheap and worthwhile thing to do is put childproof plug covers in all unused outlets. There's a bunch of them there to catch chips, grit and liquids.

[@douglascampbell9809]

@@grantofat6438 It's not that bad of an idea. I can think of it being more useful in a woodworking shop where sawdust blows all over hell and gone. I'm not sure how many receptacles we actually had at the furniture factory I worked at because we mainly used air. I can tell you that even with protection our computer terminals and bill of materials printers went down all the time from dust that managed to bridge a circuit. So they went to workstation hubs and the printers were taken off the floor and put in the office block houses on the factory floor.

Just awesome big congratulations to you both.

Fun fact Abom was so happy he couldn’t wait to get the saw unpacked the video is NOT speeded up. 🤣

[@anomamos9095]

A useful project Grab an engine hoist cherrypicker thing and modify it to make it into a small portable crane. The base on these is designed to fit under a vehicle and they’re not very mobile or stable. Make a square base with much less forward protrusion and larger castors put a heavy counter weight on the base to keep the crane balanced when lifting. The purpose of this is for those who don’t have access to a proper crane or forklift but need to safely load a lathe or milling machine.

[@Ishmaell711]

Right on Adam, Looks good 👍 Save yourself some time and go with cantilever racking, there awesome. There just like the ones you see at Home Depot holding up the lumber off the floor. I personally have them in my shop and they work great. I appreciate the content

[@Majiksmoke]

I see all of the bellyaching negative-nancys and I can't wait to watch them pitch a hissy fit when Adam gets a brand new tooled up flex-arm dropped off at the shop. 😂 Adam seems like the kind of guy who sets short term and long term goals. Those whining about all the money being spent are acting like Adam is just forking over cash like it's nothing...but in actuality he's most likely been planning, saving, and working toward this moment for YEARS. He's not just blowing money... he's taking what he's worked his ass off for, and INVESTING it back into his business. I'm just glad that he is sharing this experience with us. I'm proud to see his hard work and success.

[@grantofat6438]

Why would anyone be negative over a guy buying machines for his shop? If he didn't, he wouldn't have a shop.

[@douglascampbell9809]

Also re investing in the company (new machinery) is a tax write off. Plus almost 600k subscribers and 162,445,742 views probably gets a person some pretty sweet deals when buying new equipment. Especially when a person says the company name everytime they use it.

[@floodo1]

@@rustblade5021 the equipment isnt temporary.

[@johndonlan5956]

Adam, may I make a suggestion? Perhaps you might want to consider placing the band saw just on the left of the overhead door (upon entering the shop) and to the left of the office door. It won't be as much of an impingement upon traffic coming in through your overhead door that way, and you can easily set up a vertical stock rack in that corner where the front of the shop meets the office wall. There might even be enough room to put up your infeed rollers. The toolbox and other things that you currently have there could be moved to another area at the shop. Think about it. The reason I make this suggestion is a matter of "flow". Naturally when stock enters your shop you're going to want to have the cutoff saw close to where it enters. And by putting it on that side..... It might save you the trouble of having to move it every time the truck comes in.

[@rustyshackleford928]

[@anomamos9095]

Tip Use castors that be locked or raised out of the way to allow you to move the saw around when needed . Apart from cleaning this can come in very handy when you have a very awkward item to cut.

[@clydedecker765]

Know you;re going to love this machine. You might want to consider the outfeed/infeed table when you think about portability and having to move it a lot. Maybe another location would be better overall?

[@utidjian]

Fair point Clyde. The infeed (and outfeed) tables are a good idea, especially the infeed. I think he got only the infeed table. I think the way he has it setup at the moment is the optimal position for workflow in this shop. Two bolts hold the infeed table to the saw base then one twistlock electrical connection and he can scoot it anywhere where there is space in the shop using the pallet jack. The infeed table will be out of the way as it is much narrower than the saw. If his primary work was, say, fabrication or production where he would often need to cut a lot of stock to length at one time then an outfeed table would be essential. In a job shop/repair shop like Adams most of the work is one offs and usually something he could hand carry or have a cart catch the stock. Having the saw near the entrance is really the best place IMO.

The shop I work for has had much more success using a "shadow light" instead of a laser to show the cut path of the saw.

[@countryracer69]

I was about to add a laser to mine. But you got me curious. Im assuming a small focused light directly over the blade showing where its going?

[@johncoxhead8706]

if you intend to move the saw in the future then when you make the levelling pads for it, to make it easier when replacing it would it be a good idea to use double sided heavy duty tape to keep the pads in the same place so the saw cab be replaced in the same place and therefore the Re-levelling should be minimal

[@douglascampbell9809]

I was just going to type I see more leveling pad machining videos in the future.🙂

[@acme4786]

Adam, that Hydmech is a beast. Nice saw... BTW, you definitely need a forklift.

[@RobertBrown-lf8yq]

Hi Adam. Congrats on another quality bit of gear 👍 I’m thinking that you could make a four ‘catchers’ for the levelling blocks. That way, when you do have to move the machine for deliveries, you wouldn’t need to mess around resetting the blocks under the machine. The blocks would stay ( loosely) attached to the machine. More work initially… sure…. but in a brand new shop with probably a lot more ‘big’ deliveries, it might make sense. The ‘catchers’ are simply right angle brackets screwed to the sides of the levelling blocks, and slotted to fit around the levelling bolts. Easy-peasy…. 😎 Regards Robert

When I left we had it for round 6-7 years, it had 100's of thousands of cuts on it, and only needed a single replacement part once. They still use the saw every day, 15 years later. Ours was made in Italy, don't know if they are still made there?

@@paulcopeland9035 I know, but 15 years ago hyd-mech was importing Italian- made saws for some of their model-numbers.
