Hi All,
First a little history on the metal cutting band saw. It was made with wheels made from thick
pipe and the centers welded in and machined, each wheel with three spokes. The motor
came from an old clothes dryer and is 1/3 hp. It has a belt driven reduction followed by a
chain driven reduction. The vise is operated with a long threaded rod underneath the table.
The saw uses a standard ten foot metal cutting blade.
