Wow! You’re a fantastic teacher- clear, concise and applicable! Thank you!

[@angusestcourt7120]

perfect, i've just bought my axminster bandsaw and wondered how to set things up accurately, now i know and am headed out to get things in line. your conversational way of instruction is spot on, thank you. Angus

Recently bought a 1950B and it's great to see its capabilities. Thanks for the really useful tips about setup and getting straight, consistent cuts. Really useful vid. :)

[@axminster]

Hi Arthur, glad to hear you found the video useful.

[@jedman322]

This is the video I've been looking for , great info for this beginner! 👍

[@Greebstreebling]

Just got my Axminster 3 TPI blade today and swapped it over in readiness to cut some 2mm x 60mm x 760mm lengths of Yew for a Lute body I'm building. The cut is just brilliant, some minor saw marks, but I can use a cabinet scraper to remove those. Very pleased with the 1950B, it's a nice quality bandsaw, capable of its specifications. I can certainly recommend it.

Thanks... can you do a video about the Axminster Craft AC318BT Benchtop Thicknesser? There's nothing online and would be good to see a detailed presentation.

[@andy4072]

Along with the difference the AT330ST makes to the finish if you do please. Great content on the bandsaws btw 👍

[@christianpetersen1782]

Great, just great. Thank you for sharing. What extraction unit do you use please?

[@axminster]

Hi Christian, the following reply is from Craig - "I use all sorts of extractors. I am blessed here withmany different types. For a small bandsaw youve a couple of options. The small vacuum type extractor works very well on a bandsaw great at collecting & containing the fines dust - www.axminstertools.com/axminster-craft-ac50e-50l-portable-dust-collector-105251 or www.axminstertools.com/numatic-nv750-workshop-vacuum-extractor-230v-702413." I hope this helps :)

I inherited a nice delta and put new guides, truesmd the table, got a half inch 80$ blade, put the guide rail on and blade lowered right above the work and still the thing fucks right on off on me.. tried going slow, fast. 6tpi , 18tpi, tried various tooth patterns. I just dont get it. Got bubble levels on everything, even my safety glasses and got one in my watch.. im stumped..

[@eoinbaird5231]

Just bought a craft 1400b can I get an u-graded fence for that unit?

[@stevefarey9474]

how to change a blade

[@user-22-]

That thumbnail looks like, “how to cut your hand off square at the wrist!” 😂 😳

[@kenporter9176]

Yes but how do you get a straight cut when you start with both sides uneven.

[@axminster]

Hi Ken, Craig says: 'You can either use a hand plane to flatten one side or draw a line down one edge of the timber & carefully follow that line.' Hope that helps

[@pjenslin1]

You say you use two blades. Please give us those measurements in metric units! mm and tpi pls!

[@axminster]

Hi Philip, 1/2" (13mm) x 4TPI & 1/4" x 6TPI.

[@barrybloggs22]

Your straight edge is not giving you a true reading because of the set on the teeth

[@eoinbaird5231]

Sorry my name is Eoin 1400b sorry

[@slowpoke4557]

This video didn't touch on tightening the blade or ANYthing about the blade itself, not once. Did me zero good.
