When I first opened the video I thought you’d be making hollow wheels for one of the current bandsaws. It’s a new giant bandsaw! Yes!

[@p.armour4907]

This man has a beautiful mind. I'm glad he is posting again.

[@classixdrummer]

Genius man, thank you for sharing your skills. Bearing mount tip, freeze them to shrink them prior to fit up. You won’t have to compress the wood fibres getting the bearing in place and you will get a tighter fit as a result. Edit: Subscribed

[@Zortorond]

Bloody hell! That was just in time, Matthias, thank you! I've got exactly the same task - building a 26" bandsaw wheel to replace the original on a huge "industrial grade" bandsaw. -I don't know what they were thinking about, but they made the top wheel out of a solid chunk of casting! It doesn't only weigh about 50 kg but actually rips apart thin blades while stopping because only the lower wheel has a brake!

[@ProDMiner]

Matthias, Please know you inspired me to make this. I am starting on it slowly, I finally tweaked my normal craftsman band saw to be able to cut but its really little. I never understood how the blade guide worked ever just did not make sense. Then I was watching a video , then all the sudden you showed a angle that made sense. I went to sleep that night thinking, wow if this works ill finally be able to cut thicker wood, and the blade wont wiggle. I went down stairs the next morning, tweaked it just like your home made one, first cut a flawless radius of 3' through 5/8' plywood, was pleased. Took that to some .5' maple did the same thing. So I was like hmm , if I fixed this, then is it possible I may be able to fix my radial arm saw? Well guess what that thing cuts true now. Its all from you matthias you have inspired me in so many ways so thank you so much. I am working on making a 2 door folding cabinet for all my tools to sit in. Then off to making this new band saw, then im using the band saw to help me make the 12" planner you made. :) If it all turns out ill make a video for you, showing my failure lol.

[@brianciuffini4582]

I’m always flabbergasted and inspired by the build challenges you take on. I would have enjoyed having you as a professor in college for the calculated yet straightforward approach you take to finding a way to tackle any challenge. Great work!

That panelling you used on the wheels looks like the same stuff that I used on the walls of my shop!

[@fairweatherfoundry715]

This is super cool and I love your videos. I am not sure why you would want to make the wheels hollow to make them lighter however. I have an industrial size bandsaw and it has huge cast iron wheels. Super heavy. The large mass of the wheels makes it very aggressive when cutting through large stock. This thing cuts through a 4x4 and doesn't even flinch or slow down because of the inertia of the wheels. The only downside is it takes a long time to start up and slow down because of this. Slow-down is alleviated with a foot brake though. Fill those suckers with concrete!!!

[@jarlove]

@@bradley3549 well, for å bandsaw that is going to last for the rest og my life, i would preffer a stable enviornment for the wood. Have you you worked with wood before, or just been watching?

[@bradley3549]

@@jarlove Unfortunately I work with wood all the time, it's probably the absolute worst material in the world for anybody who values precision. Would it be ideal to be in a location with perfectly controlled temp and humidity? Of course. Matthias has been a basement dweller as long as I've followed him(10+ years), lives about the same latitude as I do, and if his basement is at all similar to mine - it's hardly what you'd call climate controlled. Yet you never see him making excuses about not being in the ideal environment. And that's kind of the point I was making - have you ever heard of the toolbox fallacy?

[@mckenziekeith7434]

Wood has a lower temperature coefficient of expansion than steel or iron. Of course it is sensitive to moisture. But not along the grain.

This is exciting! If you make it a tradition to build larger tools every few years, you can just turn your actual house into an epic band saw. Changing the blade would be a hassle, though.

[@mr1enrollment]

Matthias: Nice example of process thinking. One suggestion, when aligning the second flange - screw small blocks at outside edge of flange after careful tapping, then when disassembled and glued - the register should be 'exact'. Good to see a MW video again.

[@jeffstanley4593]

That was wonderful. I am glad you are back building. I wonder if you could have made a bandsaw with three wheels easier? I know it would be three wheel instead of two but they could be smaller. You could even use the ones from your smaller saws. With proper placement they would not even have to be the same size. I would imagine this as an equilateral triangle set up with the drive being furthest away from the blade. Unlimited in size if you have a long enough blade and can build a frame strong enough.

[@callumrobertson1081]

He made a previous video a while back called three wheeled bandsaws suck which covers why he sticks with two wheels. I seem to recall the main issue being aligning three wheels being considerably harder than two.

Really cool build. Can't help wishing for an open spoke version. I was surprised to see the clamping/gluing of the wheel only required axial clamping forces. No radial clamping of the internals?

[@jayceedee5807]

I'm contemplating a bandsaw in the style you're building them with 600mm wheels, and i was reluctant to just make them out of 2 thick layers of plywood. Your video arrives in a timely fashion, hollow wheels seem to solve all the problems you described with your wheel designs in the past.
