You are both an engineer and craftsman. Very impressive. You inspired me to attempt this myself.

[@doc951]

I follow your videos with interest and I must say that with a simple multilayer you can really make real works of art. This band saw, then, is a true masterpiece. Compliments.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks

[@Thesidingsworkshop]

I love watching your videos. Everything is so crisp and precise. I think it brilliant how all your large power tools are home made. Outstanding work my friend. Do a shop tour video soon.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@sugar0000]

sometimes i re-watch your videos in hope to convince myself to start doing something!

[@Demy_Lopez]

Excelente calidad y cuidado en la construcción, diseño y filmación. Esta serie es impecable. He visto varias sierras similares y sin duda esta es una de las más elegantes y mejor diseñadas. Gracias por compartir, saludos desde Argentina!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

muchas gracias Gabriel!

[@brookswade5774]

There’s no doubt about it, you are talented and smart. This is one of the nicest saws I’ve ever seen. You can’t buy a better saw on the market today. But without sponsors, I couldn’t afford the plywood needed to build this. I wouldn’t want to use any other plywood though.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks mate. As you say, you can use another type of plywood. Check this out: www.paoson.com/en/blog/band-saw-readers-projects-n103

[@davidslater1225]

this is the best homemade band saw i have seen any where

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks David

[@MRcustomcrafts]

El nivel de detalles es alucinante.😱 Qué gran trabajo amigo. 😋👍

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

gracias como siempre compañero!

[@TheGuiltyDave]

Great work, looking better than a lot of bandsaws you can get in the shops!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thank you!

[@sjscreations2608]

Fantastic job done. I assume you are an engineer or one very smart individual Ha Ha. Very clear and concise, which is appreciated. Cheers, Sean

[@WV591]

this is the cleanest the most precise band saw build bar none. TU

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@Raulruiz25]

Un gran trabajo como siempre 😉😉, hay muchas sierras de cintas caseras por youtube pero está bajo mi punto de vista es la mejor.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

muchas gracias Raul

[@conritewing162]

This is just insane. You are an amazing maker.

[@akquicksilver]

Excellent job and a very well done video! Your designing skills are as good as your fabrication skills.

thanks!

[@antonioosoriokory]

Gracias por compartir tu trabajo todos tus accesorios y herramientas son de verdad ingeniosos e inspiradores las herramientas son muy costosas pero para el ingenio no hay limites felicidades por toda la pasión y talento puesto en este proyecto saludos desde México!!!

[@shanesmaineshop]

I have a homemade band saw as well. not quit as nice as yours but I have been using it for years and it works great.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@craftwerk6762]

very cool job. I picked up the plans in your store and hope i can start soon building my own one. first i have to rebuild my workshop to get a place for it. Love your videos

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

hello Tom, I hope to see your bandsaw soon!

[@craftwerk6762]

sure, when i'm finished i'll give you response of my bandsaw. But at first my workshop must be cleaned up and needs a new floor. So there's something to do before. I'll send you pics, when it's done. But my skill isn't as good as yours. By the way... the plans are excellent and very detailled and i give my character recommendations for it. (and they looks so much nicer than the parts of Matthias W.) :-)

[@johndietz1266]

Another amazing project done by you. Your a true inspiration!! You take woodworking to a level I never thought possible.

[@salarbutt9617]

PEAK OF PROFESSIONALISM. EXCELLENT JOB.

[@cherhanamiya1]

Hi Suso At 1.27 you make a cut into the front piece that holds the table hinges, you say that this is to enable you to adjust the lower guides more easily ! I can't see that there is any interference here ! Is this not just weakening this piece ?.

[@cjgreen3836]

Great videos. What is it that you sprinkle on surfaces that are about to be glued?

[@manfredweisser7773]

Hola, siempre estoy esperando nuevos videos. Simplemente genial. Saludos desde Austria.

I think it's even nicer and better built then Matthias Wandel's. Great job bud!!!!

[@Safecracker49]

I am so impressed, you did an outstanding job!

[@laneyweb]

Thank you for showing us how you built your Band Saw. Great videos, very well described and you make it look so easy :).

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@angel1138thx]

Buen trabajo, gracias por compartir, una pregunta, ¿que echas a las piezas cuando las pegas? sal, azucar ??? para que no resbalen

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

sal, evita que las piezas se muevan al apretar las torniquetas. Deberías probarlo!

[@angel1138thx]

magnífica idea lo probaré sin duda, saludos desde Madrid

[@denisclay1536]

When gluing, what do you shake onto the glue surface?

[@laarmanj]

Suso, Amazing Job. Great design. I appreciate your accurate way of working. Thanks

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@thesolarsailor]

Great workmanship and good videos too. Where I live I could buy a quality bandsaw for the cost of the Baltic Birch plywood alone. Your projects have inspired me on some more simple projects to tackle.

[@NASTYcraftX]

I think this is now my fav build.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

[@tonit.6021]

¡Excelente trabajo!, Muchas gracias por compartirlo. Yo también me estoy haciendo una de 14", pero tiene componentes metálicos y otros en madera, el montaje es diferente. Tengo algunas dudas, estaría agradecido si me ayudaras a aclararlas: Al tener un motor de 900 RPM tengo la duda si ponerle la tracción directa, creo que ganaría en par motor, pero quizás tenga más vibraciones, ¿qué opinas?.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

Toni T. Hola Toni, me imagino que 14 pulgadas es el diametro de los volantes? En ese caso es igual a la mía! No creo que tengas problemas poniendo el motor directo, si el motor y sus rodamientos están en buen estado. No vas a perder par, lo ideal en estos casos es usar un motor de más revouciones y bajarlas con poleas como en mi caso, pero creo que el tuyo también puede funcionar. Envíame unas fotos cuando termines!

[@tonit.6021]

Así es, 14" es la medida de los volantes. Estoy haciendo una sierra aprovechando todo lo que tenía por el taller, comprando lo mínimo posible, (esa es la gracia). Tenía un motor de 900W. con tres bobinados internos, 700, 800 y 900RPM, pensé ponerlo con tracción directa para ahorrarme trabajo y pensando que aprovecharía mejor la potencia motor, pero tenía un poco de miedo de que transmitiera las vibraciones a la máquina y he decidido ponerle unos pequeños absorbentes de goma en la base. La velocidad de corte quedará en 1000 mts/m. (en la máx), creo que es bastante óptima para madera blandas. Otra duda que tengo es, ¿por qué decidiste poner los rodamientos en las bases en lugar de en los volantes...? Cuenta con las fotos en cuanto la termine, me lo tomo con calma, en esta ocasión no he hecho proyecto en 3D, lo tengo en la cabeza y ya se sabe lo que pasa con eso, (mil y un problema). Saludos

[@josevalteraguiarsantos6294]

Very nice work ! what is the product after the white glue ? congratulations !!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks! is salt to prevent pieces from moving when tighten the clamps

[@nemonautilus70]

hello is a beautiful project, many compliments for the skill, I can ask a question because every time you paste, add I think ..... the "salt"? thanks bye

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

yes, it is salt to prevent parts from moving when tightening the clamps. Thanks!

[@tq2655]

Probably the best DIY band saw build on You Tube. Really nice, I love your work. Thanks for sharing. Do you have an approx estimate overall cost to build this?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks Tom! it depends on the materials you use, with cheap plywood boards and an used motor, about 150 euros

[@tq2655]

Great thanks sir

[@hoangquanle3310]

I'm surprised you didn't use bearings for the side stops of the saw. They'll last longer than Teflon since they're made of steel and have zero friction on the saw blades given that they spin.

[@romanalviter5589]

Es un gran, gran trabajo el que vos haces y compartirlo con vosotros te hace mas grande aun, gran video. #TheBest

[@rastlach]

Whats the stuff you are adding to the Glue? is it sand or an accelerant to speed up glue drying?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

it's salt, so that the parts won't move when tightening the clamps.

[@manuelramirezmartos3804]

I have a question for you. Just after you put the glue, you add «something» on top, but you don't mention it. What is it? My dad is watching the video and doesn't understand English. Thanks .

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

it is salt, to prevent pieces from moving when I tighten the clamps

[@YuraKvadrat132]

Excellent out machine.

Fantastic work and great video. Just wondering what is the capacity of the saw. Max Depth and width of cut. Also what HP is the motor? Keep up the great work !

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks! 230mm depth and 340mm width. I've used a motor with 1hp and 1500rev.

Hi, great project! For gluing the parts, are you using kitchen salt?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

yes, to prevent the pieces from moving when tightening the clamps.

[@mr.malusgaming4114]

Thank you! It seems that it works very well

Hi, the idea that tools you have built make the future tools you need 🤓👍🤓. I have heard it said that with a decent lathe, the tools required to rebuild civilisation could be made. Tools making tool and so on until the tools required for production are made 🤓🤓🤓.

[@rocknumber11]

Congratulations very good work with every detail

[@sdau9660]

When you are glueing, you have what looks like a salt shaker close by. Why? Is this actual salt that is used to prevent the pieces from shifting while clamping?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

yeah!

[@sdau9660]

@@Paoson_Woodworking nice trick. Thanks

[@petermarsh4993]

I am very impressed with the build. It looks amazingly sturdy for plywood. I do have a question: How do you maintain tension in the motor drive belt. To me it looks like you have two speed positions but neither the motor / gear or drive gears have movement to adjust tension. Presumably, this is not a problem. Cheers.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

hello Peter, actually I only have one speed, but it's not a bad idea to have two. You could make a tiltable base for the motor, like I did on my homemade lathe: www.paoson.com/en/blog/lathe-disc-sander-n63

[@petermarsh4993]

In recent years I owned a Jet bandsaw which had two speeds. I used the higher speed to cut wood and the lower speed to cut metal - with a change in blade of course. It’s not quite as good as a dedicated bandsaw for metal but in a home workshop makes it a versatile machine, being able to cut wood and also thin pieces of metal. Cheers.
