Mate you're a Godsend. I've had the exact same problem since buying this saw. Couldn't work out WTF was going on with it. I'll go grab one from your website right now. Thanks so much for this.👍👍👍
Pleasure Mate, yes it took me ages to work it out, I was even thinking about getting rid of it. So glad I didn't. Cheers. Oh and thanks for the purchase.
I'll have to grab one as well, I thought it was an operator error for me... The challenge I've got with mine is the vise cracked and after attempting to weld it back it's no longer square.
Any help on stop the blade falling off the drive wheel when cutting an angle even with a new blade i can keep it on the wheels the saw is less than a year old with very little use
Been running the bigger BS6V, haven't cut stainless but done 50+ cuts on RHS without issue, 50x50x3 up to 150x50x4 . Works great for a neat and accurate angled cut on wood table+chair legs too ;) Was told to only run bimetal blades in it as it runs without cooling, anecdotal only. I'm still on the original blade and haven't tried my bimetal spare blade as of yet. Perhaps I should save that one for cutting stainless and use their standard blades?
G'day Mate, if it were me i'd stick with the Carbon Blade you're currently running. Cooling has only been an issue when cutting solid sections. From my understanding the BS6V isn't as prone to the Blade Fatigue problems experienced with the BS5V. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
@@TheAussieShed Indeed, the (longer) blade is barely warm to the touch after cutting a large RHS section. I also ran the blade in slow, and generally cut on the slow side. I'm not a machinist and have not had reason to cut any large solid sections, just a few shafts

Been a good saw for me for years but rhe blade slipping and breakages does my head in also!
Must give this a go 👌
Thinking on buying one of those band saws better than cutting with the grinder throwing sparks all over the place 👍
Good info Gary you have nailed it again 👍
Thanks Gary👍
