Metal cutting band saw Scheppach MBS 1200 or Biltema MBS 1141 - Snapped saw blade and a modification

[@AdaptingCamera]

Please watch my first video about this machine also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iovQdKCVjZp_Z9ksi=7X_fxvp045Ox4ZHS. All I can say is that I should have bought this several years ago. It is my most versatile saw and it gets used a lot for everything possible. It makes every project just so much more enjoyable and efficient, regardless if it is something with wood or any sort of metal. Such machine is incredibly useful, even if it doesn't cut through wood as fast as my circular saw, the time is saved in efficiency, because it is so easy to set up and start to cut with it., especially now that I changed the vise jaws to much wider ones. More modifications and improvements will be made, all very simple and easy. I will of course make a video about them to inspire others also. None of my planned modifications are related to this specific brand, so even if you have a Scheppach, Güde, Lidl, or whatever else, it can be done on those as well.

glad you got it working.

[@AdaptingCamera]

Thank you. In fact, I am very happy with this machine. It is definitely my most versatile saw.

@@AdaptingCamera it is very annoying when a new device break's.

[@AdaptingCamera]

@@jamesavery3559 Yes, definitely. Though I felt that something was actually wrong with the blade, I could hear a "clonk" at every revolution, but I could not really feel it with my fingers or see anything strange, so I took a chance. Anyway, the new blade (the one I bought) is an expensive, high quality type and it feels totally different, no "clonk", so I hope it will last longer. If that snaps also then I have to use the one I got from the shop when I complained, so I guess (hope) that I am good for a few months.

@@AdaptingCameraok but if the new high quality blade break's in less then a year then maybe it is the machine and not the blade?

[@AdaptingCamera]

@@jamesavery3559 Not necessarily. It can still be the blade, it can also be me pushing too hard or using the wrong speed, which could make the blade too hot and soften it, of course, it can also be the machine... Anyway, if this one holds for almost a year then I think it was a good buy and the next blade I'd buy would be the same. Also, the new blade sounds different, better and more even, than the original blade, so I am convinced that something was wrong with that blade.

❤you get what you pay for have you tried Biltemas cutting oil for lubricating the blade❓

[@AdaptingCamera]

It's not that simple. Nothing wrong with the machine, only the blade, which Biltema replaced free of charge. People who use lubricants on this machine are illiterate, and they are many... The manual warns against doing that, this machine is NOT supposed to be lubricated. Chose the right blade speed and will not need lubrication. If you use lubrication, the oil will end up on the rubber wheels and that will make cutting worse, not better, because the blade will slide. By the way, cutting oil is for drilling, taping and milling, not for cutting with a saw... 😂😂😂

@@AdaptingCamera 💗All right thank you i understand Biltema recumbent in their app this i use balsam "terpentin" on my blades for lubrication 👍
