I bought a Problematically Large Bandsaw

[@matz4k]

Having the right speed for asbestos is important in order to fling as many particles as possible into your lungs.

[@rustymundorf4672]

There was a DoAll saw I used to run that had the asbestos speed AND beryllium speed listed.

[@WesleyKagan]

Exactly. My thoughts as well.

[@origamihawk]

you know what they say, when you have a 36" DoAll Industrial Bandsaw, everything looks like a block of hot rolled mild steel

[@TheMarcQ]

Or asbestos

[@RachaelSA]

Dude's a genius, and has the motivation to actually do the genius stuff. You one in a couple billion....

[@LesNewell]

Why engineer a part when you can over engineer it? That mitre gauge is a thing of beauty!

[@WesleyKagan]

Thanks! Yeah might be a little overboard but I don’t really care haha

[@filobeto1691]

That is a ‘Zephr’ model. On the high side of the transmission you can turn the blade upside down and friction cut steel. Especially helpful for cutting hardened materials.

[@johndillon28]

The blade welder is something that I never expected to be as useful as it is. Buying bulk blade and being able to cut to lemgth is a massive money saver. Also in a pinch being able to weld a blade back together is very very nice. You can use a automotive style hand held spot welder but those are more cumbersome.

[@UKBUILT]

🤔 Nice tip

[@DocsMachineShop]

The big trick to a blade welder is that you can cut the blade, loop it through a closed hole, and weld it back together. That way, you can cut out an opening in a plate or part, without having to have a gap somewhere to let the blade through.

[@goontheracoon]

make sure the stand is up to scruff.. had an industrial bandsaw fall on me, mangling up my left arm.. got 80% severed arm out of there (took some time getting machine off me and arm out). managed to stop the bleed with a belt before calling for a helicopter, then everything got a bit foggy.. they gave me blood and i survived after a little heart attack. fyi, still have my left arm.. and i can still use it, but i got to focus for any precise motor function, often send my cups of coffee flying across the room.. sensation is all gone, great gooning arm so there is always a silver lining. let this be a lesson in what not to do.. or to do if the "stranger" method isn't working for your chronically single asses.

[@derrick_v]

JESUS!!!

[@Vintageguy73]

Mine has a cutting speed and feed for METEORITE!

[@WesleyKagan]

Oh I’ll have to look on mine for that! That’s really cool

[@jonathanhiener2463]

That miter gauge is a thing of beauty. Also, you have a great taste in music - I loved spotting Deltron 3030 on the wall

[@952guy]

and to think.. thats the light duty version. I have the heavy duty 26, it's a glorious 4500lbs of hydraulic controlled goodness.

[@christophermanley777]

Put my mind at ease seeing you and Superfast Matt make videos about building and rebuilding the workshop. I feel like spend most of my time building the stuff to build the part. I’ve been trying to get into composite manufacturing because it was low cost of entry. Low cost but high time of entry!

[@Nomad_UK]

Would love to see another video on the free valve miata :)

[@rightleftmiddle1020]

It feels like your editing/production is still getting better and more fluid, I love to see it.

[@Hunter271828]

My dad was a machinist, and it was amazing the number of things he made just using a bandsaw. The cuts don't look as clean, but for quick and dirty shop tools you can't beat how fast you can crank things out with a bandsaw.

[@WesleyKagan]

Honestly having this one is really convenient now. I’m glad I picked it up.

[@isickofit]

Love the data stamped on the crimps. Both quality work and an Easter egg! You would never guess that was there.

[@Shiryas]

Great use of the LP's for wall art.

[@cobraframebuilding]

I picked up a 1953 16-3 DoAll vertical earlier this year. Thing of beauty. Has a lot of the same control plates and features as yours without being quite so insane. Cool to see you tune this thing in.

[@calholli]

I had to look that song up.. My kind of stuff .. wolf at the door .. for chamela .. El Envemadero.. this guy has some hits

[@Gscalenut]

Wesley makes even a bandsaw seem exciting.

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Very nice, and you have done a brilliant job of fixing it up and integrating it into your shop. All you need now is somewhere the size of Detroit to keep all your toys. Good work, enjoying your adventures, and enjoying seeing you grow.

[@Ammoniummetavanadate]

Absolutely beautiful saw

[@WesleyKagan]

Thanks!

[@patrickstover8766]

5:50 Lana! this is a killer piece of equipment, lifetime tool.

[@a777fan]

Kinda love how i have no idea what you’re talking about or doing most of the time. ❤🎉 thanks for sharing!

[@aku2dimensional]

A wise man once said, "It's not the size of the tool that matters, it's the size of the shop that can fit all of your tools that counts", or something like that.

[@MotoBennyPNW]

I appreciate that I keep hearing Ethel Cain in your videos

[@LateApexGarage]

That opening scene brought back memories of a 4 x 4xt oo long chunk of steel I tired to do that exact thing to... I am glad to see we share the same sensibilities on space management, that saw is almost big enough.

[@Skooby59]

HE RETURNS!!!

[@mccanlessdesign]

Man, this helps. Got a great opportunity with a Grob 24" - just gotta' make the jump.

[@pastaalalamborghini]

I appreciate your sense of humor, very funny

[@The-KP]

I was hoping Wesley would avoid the compromise of modernization and power this distinguished classic with a steam engine. That, and the requisite coal hopper, would fit the mystique he's been achieving with retro car builds. Eventually, may he fulfill the dream of building a steam locomotive from scratch. /s I dig this channel since the very beginning. This band saw vid just perfectly matches the excellent work Wesley has demonstrated in all his videos. Whoever employs this rare character is one lucky business.

[@WesleyKagan]

Man, now I really want to do a steam engine

[@bender2033]

Builtin blade welder and grinder FTW.

[@mandrakejake]

Thanks for the video! Solid carbide 2 flute uncoated endmills are cheap, centre cut and cut alloy like butter. Reduced shank ones allow for a greater depth of cut too

[@jasonpeterson1506]

Another amazing video. Editing, Content, music, delivery on point.

[@Digital-Dan]

Your stuff is always next-level. Great video.

[@GleepGlop2]

Fascinating to see your different shop approach compared to a typical auto mechanic youtuber shop.

[@sjv6598]

She’s a beut, Clark! That thing is an absolute behemoth 😃

[@Pilotman28]

love it man. whats first for the race car with the new saw? possibly related, ever built a pinball machine?

[@anidiotinaracingcar]

1:34 Love it

[@PennerFab]

Love the mix of restoration and billet angle plate haha. Nice work bud!

[@WesleyKagan]

It’s a little bit of old, little bit of new haha. Thanks!

[@firefox12702]

BUTTERFLY 3000

[@reidster87]

Finding the winding/wire numbers stamped on the terminals after exhaustively re-checking resistance and/or your sanity is exactly the kind of thing that happens to me! At least you know for sure I guess. 🤣

[@speedstar7335]

That ally block cut much faster in the middle than at the edges. Nice!

[@OddsandEndsMachining]

Loving the CNC content. What kind of tolerances are you holding on your mill?

[@MM-fr7mz]

I like that you painted your fingers to match the saw.

[@brendanloy9468]

sick records dude didn't expect to see trout mask or King gizz in the background of a video like this!

[@RLRSwanson]

Three wheel band saw with asbestos speed, haven't seen one of those in a while. It'll be interesting to see how you get along with it.

[@rjung_ch]

The last thin cut was like a mirror, impressive machine. 👍💪✌

[@Sakuwurak_]

Oh yeah the asbestos setting mmm yummy😋

[@Sookigarage]

That thing is comically large, but the cuts it produces in that aluminum block are beautiful!

[@_MunK_]

What happened to the miata freevalve? we never really got any closure about it and the differences between power delivery before and after etc. and if it could be optimized to be better than before.

[@thegregdavieschannel]

That's a beautiful old bandsaw. Feeling jealous.

[@yomama5785]

We need more like you!

[@liampousson1173]

Is the free valve head a project you see yourself returning to in the future, or does it feel completed? I'd love to see more, but I understand if you're not interested in continuing development.

[@monkey6430]

that surface finish 🤌

[@vahroom]

this man is such legend

[@camelotorc2]

Good thing you found the numbers on the motor cables 😂

[@deviatefishy]

That Beefheart album though.

Love the miter guage .

[@manoflamancha218]

>mill work starts >porn music starts I did not know this could be so right.

[@perkornhall4597]

Poetry in motion.

[@MrBassjan]

Comment before watching the video: this is not a bandsaw, it's a band filer! (I know it's also a bandsaw, but it can do more) Comment after watching the video: great work, looking forward to more videos about this machine!

[@WesleyKagan]

It can also contour! Among other things!

[@UKBUILT]

You should see what I am hacksawing right now 😂I have been cutting a 10" diameter chunk of steel for the last 4 months, I am hoping to be though it for Christmas 🤞

[@flyonbyya]

Just wish I had the brains and brawn to endeavor these kinda projects

[@TylerRogersUSA]

Ah yes. Using tools to build tools for your tools. Love it

[@giamademedoit]

What is your background? Do you have a video about you or do you plan on shooting one? As we say in bg I nobly envy you for what you do haha

[@discipleoftheword1785]

Man that saw is sweet!

[@builtbybasil8515]

That miter fence is beautiful.

[@WesleyKagan]

Thanks!

[@johanvantongeren82]

This is a very very nice and pretty machine!

[@ndog1234765]

I think Artisan Makes might disagree with there being a better tool than the hacksaw.

[@cleveland2286]

Why get rid of the Kalamazoo? I actually bought and restored a P series because I thought they looked so cool from that video.

[@anidiotinaracingcar]

What's the max thickness it can saw for asbestos?

[@AnonCaliga]

🤷🏻‍♂️ Why this channel hasn’t got more followers amazes me! As always Wesley great video. Inspirational, informative and as always funny with the witty remarks. 🤣👍🏻

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

A DoAll is definitely an upgrade!

[@oscarbustos3241]

do you still use FUSION 360 for the postp on ur fadal cnc?

[@JustinAlexanderBell]

You know you want to hook up the blade welder.

[@anthonymurphy7875]

Hi Wesley, any chance you could publish a playlist of the music you used from the video?

I prefer to use a chainsaw for cutting my asbestos, it gives it that rustic "live" edge. Sometimes, if it is a little too rough, I just sand it down.
