Thread: Bimetal bandsaw blade local suppler

Hi Russell,
It was sort of a trial thing, but worked so good I left it on. The coolant doesn't go anywhere near the normal off on switch.
I have another switch to turn the coolant on or off when the saw is running. If the switch is on it will start the coolant with the motor and turn off when the motor does. It is located on the motor in the little electrical box, just a simple 240v rocker switch I had here.

Like I said in the other thread it's just a bit of rain water down pipe, and I tucked one leg up under the saw so it was held by the stand bolts, so no drilling any holes.
I found it does need the little thin tray on the rear as it drips off the blade and that catches it well and I get no coolant on the floor.
I tied the legs together with 2 pieces of angle and then used the tray as an extension off the down pipe. I also found this was needed because of the little splash and it some times runs along the job getting cut.
The way the tray is made allowed it to slot onto the edge of the down pipe and the other end I held up with a piece of wore onto the extended stop bar.

As I said above this was a trial and I do need to get around to making things permanent. I also need to raise my saw, but thats another job on the to do list, LOL

It is a bit cleaner at the moment, so if you need any more photos let me know.
