    Great demo, clear and to the point. Excellent explanation and great visuals.
    Thank you - makes changing blades safer and provides confidence in how to
    do it right.

    Thank you! I had almost abandoned using my bandsaw because of drift. However - changed the blade following your instructions, and was able to cut 100mm x 150mm x 1.6m cedar timber perfectly into two pieces 50mm x 150mm x 1.6m. All they needed was a light sanding for a perfect finish.

    This is, without a doubt, the easiest, clearest, most helpful video on DIY for ANYTHING I have come across. I understand now completely what to do where I was um "foggy" about it before. Great job.

    I was literally gonna sell this used bandsaw (had a buyer on their way with cash) and then I found your video. Apparently the joker I got this bandsaw from had 3/8 blade on a 1/4 inch wheel...no wonder it was slipping off anyway thank you for being soooooo clear and detailed. I’ve kept my bandsaw :) new blades coming tomorrow :)

    9 8 24 valuable presentation. esp' part about tension and measuring that 1/4".
    like others who are putting off replacing their blade and setting the guides et al
    now feel like taking it on.
    there is one minor omission tho ... forgetting to set the blade guides below table top
    to mention a new blade problem.
    many times the blade has come off the wheel
    via accidentally pulling backwards on the wood piece. this bends the blade every time.
    it can be flattened out and re-used. the new problem tho was the blade stretching
    asym'ly so it does not lay in a flat coil on a table top.
    the only sensible solution is to toss it and get a new one. 3 tpi of course

    Really well done video. Well explained, well filmed, no darned stupid music either! f. It's not that easy to get 3tpi blades though, in Europe, they all seem to be 6. Thanks anyway, I'll be looking out for more of your stuff, I was wary of getting into my Dewalt 3505 to change and regulate the blade.

    @jefferythole8988 7 років тому

    HELP... I inherited a nice CAV Brand bandsaw from my Father. I was making good use of it until the blade broke. I have been unable to get the new blade on. I got the length recommend in the owner's manual, but it seems about an inch too short. And the tension knob on top will only lower the wheel about 1/4 inch.. I know my Father replaced the blade a couple times, but I don't know his trick to get it on.

    Where do I get a well-behaved bandsaw and blade like the ones in this video? I’ve never been able to just slip the blade over the wheels of my saw, even with all the tension removed. Maybe my bandsaw was a dud and I was just too inexperienced to recognize it when I bought it.

    Can anyone HELP I have Delta bandsaw. However my problem is the blade keeps drifting and coming off. Also, the round rubber piece on the top wheel which the blade runs is getting chewed up and the blade keeps coming off. What do I do suggestions anyone.

    • @FineWoodworking
      @FineWoodworking  8 років тому

      You need to adjust the tracking of that top wheel. Also, check and make sure that your wheels are coplanar. Take the table off and put a straight edge on the wheels. Adjust as needed. Sound like you need a new set of tires once that is dealt with.

      If you still have the old blade, measure its length. Go to a website that specializes in bandsaw blades, they will make a blade to your specifications.

    Great demo extremely well done. The only problem is I can't find a band saw blade that is 3 teeth per inch. I have even gone to Mc Master Carr and the best that they can do is 6 teeth per inch. Any suggestions where I can go to get them.

    Everyone has their own method of doing this. I've looked at lots of these bandsaw how to videos and this one seems to be a little less than most. I don't think this is the correct way to locate the blade on the wheel or the correct location for the guides. I'll try it and see if it works for me.

      bottom of gullet needs to be centered on the wheel. The wider the blade the more wrong this video will be.
