Installing the Unit
|
|
I picked up the bandsaw (in three packages) at the dealer. None of the packages were near as heavy as the previous jointer shipment . But there was a lot of parts to be added to
the unit and adjusted. |
|
As with the jointer, the most difficult part of the assembly was adjusting the belt. The motor mount bolts were very difficult to get to. Here in this photo, I am using "the clamps
with a thousand uses"

 |
| A quick connect Dust Right rubber flange mount was clamped to the 4 inch dust port. |  |
A Dust Right flex hose with quick connect handle is attached as need to the bandsaw.
A hard ductwork line may be plumbed under the shop to this location at a later date |
 |
After checking the tables, the mitre guage
and the fence for square, level and plumbe...the final adjustment was
to set all the upper and lower bearings to 1/64 clearance. |
 |
Next up is to attach the 6 riser accessory unit to enable 12 inch clearance for resawing. A WoodSlicer™ 105 inch x 1/2 inch bimetal resaw blade is on order from Iturra to be installed. |

| Conversion to 220 v. Ran a new line to outlet. | |
