The Coffee Shop / Re: How HOT is it in your Back Yard? :+}

« on: July 03, 2012, 03:12:24 am »

5 Celsius in my yard this morning  I was sweeping up pine needle from next door, humidity I didn't care just wanted to get back to my work shop, too cold in there so up stairs to  warm 9c in side, roll on summer.

I found the way to stop this problem was to feed the blade in from the top and tighten and this seems to keep the blade straight in the bottom blade holder

I've had the problem for about 12 months and have taken the lever out and sanded flat I also find forcing the wood through the saw will make the tension lever release

If you  want a band saw buy a decent one,they are not cheap but at least they will not cause you problems, cheap is dangerous, so beware

My bones and joints are over 70 years old and I just grin and bear, but I know that some people suffer a great deal of pain in their joints and that is up to your GP to help, my wife takes over 20 pain killers a day plus sleeping tablets at night, this is why I try not to complain about my aches and pains

You guys should be so lucky to have such a great selection, down under we have the option of a $200 saw to the Ex at $1300  and nothing in between
