Better Than Sliced Bread - RC's Bandsaw Clamp
I posted this photo in Josh's Deckel thread last night but given that more blokes own horizontal bandsaws than Deckels I though it was worth posting again here.
I was one of the fortunate recipients of Richard's generosity earlier this year when he made and dispersed a number of these clamps to forum members. I wanted to cut a slice off the end of a not too long piece of 87mm diameter cast iron bar. I could not hold it in the saw's vice jaws. But with RC's device in place I could, making me and the young bloke waiting for the slice happy.
Again Richard. Thank you.

Nice clamp
Bob seeing your clean saw reminds me I really do need to attend to mine.

Bob,
Has the blade worn grooves in the bearings or does your model have guides pressed on the bearing.Cheers,

That is a very new and highly advanced design. The groove is intended to assist with keeping the blade running tru.

Stuart,
It needed your 3D Xray vision - I think you have got it with cast iron crud buildup on the bearing.Cheers,

I'm going to take on Stuarts Superpowers and disagree, i reckon the bearings are grooved.....
The clamps are brilliant things, i've used mine on a number of occasions. To stop the moving jaw tilting too far and the whole lot wanting to slip sideways, i use a packer at the other end of the clamp.

I have the same special bearings on my saw. Took me about 20 years to get them....
Cheers,
