wdwerker Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 So I suppose the exterior will get waxed and buffed to a shine when all is said and done ? Or is the OCD not quite that severe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the OCD not quite that severe? It'll get repainted. I'm gonna grab some white enamel paint and roll it on. But that isn't a must be done right this second kind of thing. I'm still waiting on some parts and such. The OCD can be pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Still waiting on the tires and Woodmaster blade. Got it moved and some more cleaned up on the base. It's a beast to move, it has the turning radius of a tractor trailer, and I was maneuvering it through tight spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 The instructions for the tires say to soak them in hot water. I wasn't interested in getting water all over everything. I held the new tire in one hand, jumping it along, and heated it with a heat gun. When the whole thing was warm, almost, but not quite too hot to hold, it went right on with little trouble. There is a "tongue" on the inside of the tire that fits in a groove on the wheels-no glue needed. I just cut the old ones off carefully with a utility knife. The 1" blade runs with the teeth right off the front of the wheel edge. Mine doesn't have that type of guides, but for smoothest finish and fastest feed, I adjusted the guides until I couldn't turn the wheel, and then backed off the least possible. For the thrust bearings, I set them so they were barely touching the back of the blade, but would speed up when I feed something into it. Tension is cranked way up, but I don't remember the setting by the gauge. Mine resaws a 24" Cypress board in three seconds with a resaw sled I built, and gives a great surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Cancelleri Posted February 18, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Evapo-rust is even more awesome. They stumbled upon this restore thread, and commented on the photos I posted on their facebook wall. They sent me a gallon of Evapo-rust for more derusting fun. I couldn't say anymore good things about how awesome that stuff works. Let the pictures speak for themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Cancelleri Posted February 22, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Got my Lenox Woodmaster CT blade. Installed, adjusted the guides and set everything square. That cuts fast! This piece is actually the tail end of a bird's eye maple board which had little to no bird's eyes. It's 5" wide, but was a tough bastard to try and resaw. I tried with a 2/3 skip tooth blade on my laguna 1412 and it burned like all hell. Once I make my resaw fence, I've got a piece of 12" wide hard maple I'll run through. I need to adjust my fence a bit, there's a bit of drift still that I need to adjust for. It cuts fast!

Chestnut Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've been following along on this restore and all i can say is WOW! You've got yourself a nice band saw there. The thing looks great and the cut quality is stunning. Thanks for the information as well i think when i get really serious about a bandsaw I'm going to hunt CL.

Tom Cancelleri Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 @shaneymack was less than pleased that I only resawed a piece 5" wide. Round 2 with an 11" board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Haha count on the Canadian to stir the pot. Looks like it does exactly what you need it to do. I've been resawing a bunch recently and would love that speed. I'm at about .5"/second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, thanks for the recommendation. This blade is awesome, and for the price I'm really impressed. I need to tune the saw a bit more. Adjusting the table and tilt and everything is a bit of a pain. Not too crazy about the blade guides either, at some point maybe I'll upgrade them to the Laguna guides, or perhaps try to source some cool block guides.

Chet Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Well the good news Tom, is that you won't be changing the blade that often so you won't have to go through it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 So have you run the saw to confirm that the angle the blade is sitting at is actually the saws cutting drift angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
