bandsaw meets heavy machine base
Using the “Heavy Machine Base” to mount the SBW4300 band saw.
As promised here are some details of mounting my band saw on the heavy machine base. The machine has been sitting on a delta style base since it arrived before last year’s wood show. As you can see by the pictures I oversized the base to pick up some stability and oversized the timber (with some fiddle) to pick up some strength. As the machine is 170Kg and the bases rated capacity is 150Kg this was always a temporary and less than satisfactory arrangement.
