Hi Pete,

Cutting the top off the 6 panels above the ramp could create some issues:

-The ramp sectors would become the top of the cyclone casing, so they would need to be 100% sealed on every...

This is the air ramp or baffle which reduces turbulence as the air+dust stream enters the cyclone, and that maintains the best possible air flow. The cylindrical outlet was removed for the...

The paper you referred to presented mathematical modelling for 3 hexagonal cyclones and a square design. The Hoffman round cyclone referred to is quite small: casing OD 200, INLET 100X40, OVERALL...

Hi Woolly,

Like you I am a new to bandsawing, apart from a heavy duty metal cutter 30 years ago.

I bought my BP360 last year, and so far have been happy with it. Still using the blade supplied...

Thanks John.
Alex makes the setup look not too complicated, but I have yet to try it!

I am looking for blade specialists on the Eastern side of Melbourne, if anyone knows of one. If not, I will...

Thanks for your suggestions and info, John, Brian and Tom.:2tsup:

I was planning to buy a second blade with different TPI to what is supplied, and maybe narrower.

Following up comments by John and Brian, I have confirmed:

The Hafco and Sherwood 14 inch saws cost only $240 more than the BP310 12 inch model, and give 60 mm more cutting height.

The Sherwood...

Thanks John and Brian for your suggestions.

The Sherwood 12 inch saw looks identical to the Hafco, except for the colour!

I will study the Timbercon and Sherwood tomorrow.

regards, Rob

The Hafco 12 inch saw would be my first bandsaw, and is a compromise to suit my tiny workshop:

Sorry Russ, already gone.
It has no legs.

HI Racingtadpole,

The original Triton prefilter will clog up too quickly IMHO, under dusty conditions. This reduces air flow, which reduces your protection.

The prefilter can be replaced with a paper one having a...

The original prefilter is a poor/cheap design, and blocks too quickly in dusty conditions. I would not waste $19.50 on another one of these. You can easily modify the unit to use a motor mower...

Andrew,
The safety advantage of Sawstop can be almost equalled by a guard which is mounted on the edge of the table, and sits over the blade. It can be used for rebating and grooving, unlike...

Hi Kolosom1,
I had the same problem with the air tube, so I replaced it with twin CPAP tubes. A pine adaptor was made to connect each end to the triton screw-on fittings. It has been used for a few...

DoubleD,

The image of your workmate chewing on a piece of CCA treated timber, as part of his sales pitch, reminds me of the film SILENT SPRING, based on the book by renown marine biologist Rachel...

Yanis,

When you are looking at second hand bandsaws, you should check the tensioning mechanism carefully. If a wide blade is overtensioned on a 14" saw, the mechanism can bend. Apparently the...

Well I am not going to join in the chorus of CCA sceptics, because the APVMA ( the Gov't body responsible for regulating chemical use) banned CCA treatment in about 2005.

The ban applies to...

Yanis,

It would be well worth your time to get hold of Mark Duginske's DVD and book, covering bandsaw setup, adjustment and use. The book is particularly useful as it has more detail, including...

Can anyone give me some tips on replacing the Triton screw-on hose with the generic CPAP hose?
An old thread recommended this change, but I haven't been able to find it.

WM 48 Deg is way too hot to even think straight, without trying any woodwork.

This description puzzles me, because the spinning blade would cut away any wood which was jamming against the blade, as...

Have you checked the splitter?

If it is not lined up exactly with the blade, or not at 90 degrees to the table, the workpiece can jam between splitter and fence.:doh:
