Watching you get excited about the smoothness of that board was enough for me to order one.
Thank you
Great video. The best part was the addendum at the end! It always seems that there’s the little things that need to get worked out, but after a year of using the tool, they’re forgotten!
Good info!
Brand new one for sale $3500 - good price?
It should have DRO at that price point.
I get my wood from Face Book Market place when trees are fallen and the wood is listed as free. I'm getting older and I can't lift the logs like I used too and so I purchased a truck bed crane from HF. About $125.00 on sale. I now use that to lift the larger logs into my truck bed and it works great! You may want to think about that for a wood source. Thanks for this video. It's been helpful.
No I just cut off the old plug and added the new one. The length was ok for me. On the band saw I added a new cord and receptacle. 10 AWG 3/C
hey does this come with a power cord? also how long is it ? thanks
It does come with a cord. About 5.5 feet. I don't remember if it had a plug. I've added a 220 twist lock as I like my power as a drop down from the ceiling. I hate stepping on cords and hoses
@@turninground3511 thanks! So you used a new cord as well? Did you use 12/3 soow for the power cord? Thank you
I have the same machine, i have had the machine for the past 5 years. I have planed all kinds of wood even clean pallet wood that was very hard. I have not had a single problem with the machine and have not yet rotated any of the cutter heads
What kind of plug and receptacle does this need? Thx
Kevin this is a 220 plug. It will be specific to the codes in your area. Pretty general really. But you do have choices. For me I don't like cords on the floor. I drop down from the ceiling. So for that I use a twist lock plug and receptacle. You can use different types for different applications.
@@turninground3511 I really appreciate your help. I don’t know much about electrical but assuming I have a 30 amp breaker and I able to use a 6-20 plug? Thank you
Well done sir, watched part 1 and 2 and answered all the questions I had about this unit, appreciate the well detailed information you put out.
Excellent video, very thorough, thank you for the review, this solidifies my choice of bandsaws. And kudos to you on the camera work and pointing out all the details most fail to show well.
This is amazing, thank you for documenting this
I’m about to pick up this exact saw, how did you get it into the bed of your truck?
I have an eight foot bed so it fit nicely. I did plan to have a brace at the tailgate just in case a fast stop or swerve came up. The company I bought from "Eagle Tools" laid it on its back and lifted it with a fork lift. Let me back track just a bit. This is a method I've used many times. I have a bed liner that is hard plastic. I use a sheet of plywood or OSB that can store in and out. Pull the plywood out,lean the saw against the wood on its back. Lift the saw up and into the truck. The part that makes it work is that while its on its back you secure a four foot board through the base of the saw to balance it from being able to tip. The rest is ratchet straps to secure it. How to get it out. At least two friends. I used he lip of the garage floor to catch the edge of the plywood and the base of the saw. I tilted it up into the rolling base with a come a long and a snatch block. Now you can save a bit of weight 200 lbs I think if you take the table off. Doing business with Eagle afforded me a dialed in set up upon purchase. So I left the table on. It's a thousand pounds so planning is important. A liftgate service to a home presents the problem of getting it off the pallet and getting it under the door. My way you bring the truck up to the door and tilt the saw up. You will not be unhappy.
Great videos packed with lots of useful information and insight! Thanks!
I put on the bluemax guides and they worked extremely well and much better than stock yellow ones. For anyone trying them, first definitely do it as they are very high quality and fit very well. Second easy to put on by hand with one spring clamp as they recommend in instructions that come with the tires. Third, as recommended elsewhere, take off the wheels in order to apply them. Note that the bottom wheel has the grooved belt attached to it so you need to first loosen the tension on the belt and then remove the bottom tire. Repeat the process when putting things back on at the end. I’ve never done this before, and it only took me approximately 20 to 30 minutes, and the hardest part was simply getting the yellow tires off the wheel.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Nice work! Close to retirement myself and looking forward to projects in the shop. :)
My wax wheel keeps shedding something terrible - done all sorts from using 80 grit on stick, buffing plain timber etc etc. any suggestions?
I'm not sure this is helpful for you. Ii was taught that the wax step required the least amount of product. So maybe two or three touches to the wheel. Like you I use the edge of a plain board to clean it before starting. And to be clear I'm using only a carnauba wax bar. If it seems an un solvable problem it may be time to talk to Be all and order a new one. We don't need more things in our lives to make us frustrated. Start fresh and learn more
Thanks for sharing the issue and solution. Really appreciate this kind of video.
I Don't Know Where You Live But Up Here In North Saint Paul Minnesota I Do Woodworking To Keep Me Bizzy During These Cold Days When I Do Sanding I Do It While I'm Watching TV To Pass The Time.
I Just Use Ordinary Powertools To Make A Spoon. I Dont Have A Spindle Sander. I Just Use A Cordless Ryobi Vibrating Sander. Cause They Take Off Too Much Wood All My Powertools Are Cordles. So That Means No Looking For An Outlet Everytime I Want To Use My Powertools. I Have A Friend Of Mine Who Thought Cordless Powertools Werent As Good As AC Powertools. But I Finaly Convinced Him To Use Cordless Powertools.
Thank You kind sir… God bless
According to the Bora webside, the maximal dimensions of the 3500 mobile base are: 28 x 33.5". Your video says the dimensions of the base required to fit the saw are 22.5 x 32.5". Are you sure that you need Bora's extensions on their 3500 mobile base?
At the time yes. Perhaps Bora has changed.
I really like your video.
Now you just need to add a Accurate Technologies DRO, like I did to mine. It was an awesome upgrade to this machine.
I was just given one as a gift but havent attached it yet. I believe it's a wixley.
@@turninground3511 give the Accurate Technologies DRO a look if it doesn’t work out for you. More accurate and a bigger screen. 😁👍🏻
I have the PM1500 version of your saw. I went to rip some 3/4 thick x 4-1/2 tall pine boards down to half inch thick today and was disappointed a bit. The blade was drifting off the side of the board immediately. I’ve checked my blade tension, my bearings are all in the proper place, I have a 1” blade that is an alternating type, with teeth at 3tpi. Is that a good blade to use for this application? I looked in the trouble shoot menu of the manual. A few things listed as possible issues and fixes. One is, was the blade sharp, I’m not sure how to tell, except that I know it’s not that used yet and feels sharp to the touch. The other thing was clean the blade. I have no idea on how you clean a band saw blade, manual says nothing about this. Would you know? I have no idea why it wouldn’t go through these pine boards like butter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx
Let me first say thanks for watching my channel. Let's first address the wandering blade issue. Most of us go straight to UA-cam to seek knowledge. I've developed a thought about that. It's be careful. Choose your Guru carefully. Let me give you mine for the bandsaw. Alex Snodgrass of Carter Tools. He gives great advice and demonstraits his work in an easy to follow manner. Here is a link to setting up your saw for resaw. ua-cam.com/video/CFZOlNsAgBU/v-deo.html. I've been buying the bulk of my blades from Timber Wolf. If you take the time to read the list of blades you will see the differences of using blades for greenwood cutting, kiln dried wood cutting as well as different thicknesses. You should note in Alex's video he talks about friction and dulling your blade. They don't last forever. For me I usually buy the best I can afford. For resaw the Laguna tools resaw king is hard to beat. You can spend less but the life of the blade is shorter. Much shorter. Also a resaw blade should be 3/4 to 1.25 inch. There is generally little difference between the two. Keeping your blades clean. A tedious job for a bandsaw blade. However it's neccessary sometimes . Especailly after green wood. (also get that wet sawdust out of your saw as soon as you are done.) Sawdust will transfer from your blade to the tires. That is very often why you blades move left to right when running. Clean your tires from time to time. As far as the blade goes you can clean it on the saw NOT RUNNING. I use Trend Blade cleaner. This is a great product. I clean my table saw blades, all my turning tools, and my bandsaw blades with it. Spray it on let it sit for a mininute or two and wipe it off with a towel or paper towel.. It's that easy. You can clean your bandsaw blade off the saw as well. Just be careful. I hope this helps. A lot of what we do is about practices. The more you work with your saw the better you become.
@@turninground3511 Thank you for the info and feed back, very much appreciated. Alex Snodgrass really likes the Greenwood blades by Carter Products. Have you had a chance to use these blades? He also mentioned using a 5/8 3pti blade size for re-sawing. It surprised me, only because all I hear is you should get the biggest blade your machine can handle for re-sawing. I think I’ll give it a try and order one.
@@tundrawhisperer4821 I have read an tested that 3/4 to 1 inch were best with little difference. I found that to be true. Alex reps Carter which is an excellent company. Pick a guru. Give it a go
Thank you for putting the effort into this video. We have the same planner and had to make a few adjustments to the infeed/outfeed rollers. Otherwise, the machine is wonderful.
Great video
How big of a compressor do you need to use the pneumatic grinder?
What is the size of the board you’re cutting from?
Most of the time I look to have a piece about three inches wide by one inch thick. I've learned that most folks want a thicker handle as it's easier to hold on to. Also thicker is easier to work with. I start with the bowl first. A bit of practice will get you making better and better spoons. Making plain spoons sells the most. Making curved, and unique handles sells slower but brings more folks over. I get the occasional custom request for long and strong for chili pots or stews. Have fun. Makes mistakes and learn more
Thank you I enjoyed it
Dave, good, informative video. Can you tell me where you got that specific mandrel post and/or the company that makes it? It looks to be about 6" long and the only ones that I can find are only 3" long.
Craft supplies USA. Holdfast extension. $31.00. excellent for most large bowls and turnings.

Hello David. Can you show a picture of the electrical plug that comes with the HH15. I'm going to wire another 220 volt receptacle for when my planer arrives in about a month. Hopefully. I really enjoyed your video. You do a great job. Thanks Wayne H.
If I remember right you choose your own plug due to the difference in local codes or needs on mine since I use it on a rolling base. I use a twist lock receptacle and drop the power cord from the ceiling. I hate to step on cords. I do this for the Band Saw, the Jointer, and the planer.
@Turning Round I had noticed your comment in video about the twist lock. They didn't offer me any choices on plugs. Mine will have a wall right to the left of it. Ideal for a low wall outlet. I was just hoping to find out what came with it. Thankyou for your time. Wayne H.
thank you. I have thought about getting this system. You have made a believer out of me.
I think you will feel it has taken your work to the next level. When you see and feel the difference you will be very pleased. Please note less is more. Don't load up your cloth wheels with product. The tripoli bar four swipes back and forth,. The white three. And the wax is two . The wax if you apply too much at a time becomes counter productive. Too much and the bowl is a little tacky. You can hand polish it with a towel but why add the work. Just remember less is more and keep you wheels clean between uses. I've had mine for six years now.
Thanks for reaching out Dave. I have a bowl that I have put a wipe on poly finish. It has been drying for a couple of weeks. It looks fantastic but I feel it needs buffing to true it up and get the feel much better. I am thinking this buffing system is really to finish the finish. Although I saw someone buff a bowl with no finish! Also I have watched professional pipe makers (smoking) use this approach and the pipes have a stunning polish. I am a pinch away from buying this, and if I know myself I will bite.... lol another accessory. Thanks again for advice. Marvin from Tyler Texas
@@thewoodman6039 This morning I used the system to buff a Sycamore bowl I finished the day before. As a normal process I apply General Finishes Sanding sealer. Friction polish it to dry it on the lathe. Then I apply one or two coats of Minwax Wipe on Poly. Each cost is also friction polished to dry. It always looks very good at this point. I let it harden overnight and then buff it in the morning. It is at this point that you will appreciate your investment. I also use General Finishes bowl finish and High Performance Gloss using the same process. Woods like Acacia, Cocobolo, and Koa just pop after buffing. I do cutting boards, spoons, boxes etc. All with good results. Now that you are encouraged let me also give you advice on handing. Be prepared to lose a piece to the learning curve. I set up a tarp over the lathe to soften the strike of a flying piece. Always watch that you don't let your piece go below the spinning cloth wheel. That's when it grabs it at 1600 rpm and you start cussing. Hold your bowl upside down. It's all easy you just need to focus on your direction as you go. Also the bowl buffs, the tennis ball sized ones are awesome for the inside edges and smaller bowls. Lastly don't buy more than one of each of the bars of compound. Each bar will last you years and years.
Thanks for sharing with us Dave, great information on some great products and proper use of them. Fred.
Great job Dave, I thought for sure that knot was going to blow out, sure glad it didn't they make a mess. Thanks for sharing for everyone to see. Keep up the great videos. Fred.

Great video and your spoon is very nice. Thanks for posting this, it had been very helpful.
Noticed your welding jacket. Do you happen to do any TIG welding, and do you know anything of sharpening tungsten on these CBN wheels? The question I can't confirm in my research is: Does the CBN run any chance of contaminating the tungsten itself?
A good demo, thanks for doing it. btw nice Ducati.
Excellent job and video. This method is sure easier on my arthritic hands than using knives and gouges.
