shelter the children..there's a guard misplaced.......

All,

There's no need for a tornado shelter, or worse.

I've recently purchased a metal bamd saw without a belt guard. No children, nuns, dolphins, etc., were hurt in making this item usable.

Stand back whilst I energize this demon.

Take this note in a light-hearted sense, please,

Heeeeeey, you better quit trying to be funny and get a guard on that blade too. That thing might have some sharp teeth on it and without a guard it might cut something. Too you better get yourself some type of safety harness to insure you don't get close enough to it to get hurt. Too, just in case the harness fails, you might also want to invest in a kevlar straight jacket so your not tempted to use it..............

Seriously that's a nice looking band saw. I noticed it will also go vertical and stay there. If there's any way to mount it it's nice to have a small 'table' on the rear rollers so it can alsp be used as a vertical saw for cutting things like a notch in a piece of angle, knocking off a cornet, etc,etc.
 
NC wayne,

Believe me. there's a guard for every guard. except for the belt.

If you're wondering, I've handmade a table and foot for that saw, using that saw without.

Hoped you saw the humor,

It looks like there is no switch to shut it off automatically when it gets done with a cut. I don't think it would fall in the safety category (if it did, I might refuse to mention it), but it is a handy thing to have so that on a cut which takes a while, you can do something else (like drinking a barley pop) while it is working.
 
Yep, I saw the humor..... In fact what I was saying was all tongue-in-cheak too....LOL

Except for the part about a small table for the blade to use it as a vertical saw. I've got an old Wilton saw that has about a 2 inch square 'table' that allows me to use it like I was describint and I wouldn't know what to do without it.
 
Paul,

Thanks or the reminder. I think I shall partake a pop.

D.

I am sure that the saw is without a shutoff, other than the manual off switch.

D.
 
Oh geez, next thing you will remove is the on-off switch cover and then........the rops on the skid steer.............nooooooooooo......LOL
 
Now that's a whole lot better than what I've got..... That said, thanks for the idea. I've got an old saw table about a foot square I picked up at the scrap yard years ago that I've been trying to decide what I wanted to do with one of these days. I think the way my saw is setup I can attach it where the adjustable stop rod goes and one other place and it'll work just fine. Thanks again for the idea..
 
downsouth,


Glar you caught what I was saying!

Sometimes I think I am the only one that gets a laugh about "safety".

Sometimes ther ain't enough, but there's times where there's way too much.

I have a cheep Carolina saw, It came with a chincy table, maybe 6x6. It is a rather pain to put on and take off. Then the other day I discovered a very small table, maybe 1x1 1/4". That one can be left on. I really like that small one. And that saw, is one of those exceptions to "you get what you pay for". It works very well.

gun guru,

It's a "carolina", and I'm in need of a manual. So far I am using my best guess as to make it cut true.

I have one of those and one of those. I do the pressure by hand as I didn't like the shock absorber type thing to control pressure. I use that thing to hold up the end of it while I am working material in and out of the vise. My power switch is on top such that when the saw cuts through the material, the whole boom falls about half an inch and hits the switch, cutting the machine off.

I went online and bought a couple of bi-metallic blades. That was in '05 and the second one is still in the box. I bought the ones with varying pitch and they really do a nice job of cutting.

Addition: The switch fits through the hole and keeps it from slipping off the stand as the saw is at an angle in the stow position.
 
Gordy,

Rest assured, there'll be a ghuard there, probably as of late morning.

Just a shot at humor, not negligence. I had just bought it and am going through it.

D.
 
I had one of them once uder a different name brand. My understanding is they were kind of a generic made by someone here relatively local to me and sold under several different name brands by places like WT Tool, HF, etc, etc.

Bad as I hate to say it mine never was all that accurate when it came to making a really straight cut either. I don't know wether there was something that was just off on some of them or what, but I messed with mine for along time and finally just gave up and figured out how to cut it 'close enough to work' until I got the saw I have now.

That looks nothing like mine. Mine is a lot chincier. When I get home in April I can e-mail you a copy of my manual.

Its at just the right height.After your foreskin goes around the big pulley you will make a belt guard.happened to a friend starting his garden tractor.
 
36coupe,

Scary thought!

Look at the later pictures, there's a guardon there.

I am not losing any flesh to this machine.
