Some days ago my local men's shed acquired some more freebies from the same generous source that provided us with a very decent anvil, a swage block and a large bench shear. Four items in total: a Draper bandsaw, a Sealley pillar drill, a Miller Integra 201 MIG welder and a pretty big cut-off saw with a 16" steel blade (can't recall the name). I went to take photos of them all but the batteries on my camera died half way through the session. I'll add shots of the MIG welder and the cut-off saw next time I'm in the shed.

It needs a bit of a clean up but is working perfectly and, once I'd reset the vice, is cutting square. Cuts dry and the feed is a case of balancing spring tension against weight. Any info on this saw would be appreciated.

Looks to be a generic "4x6 bandsaw" (lots of hits on Google).

Available in umpteen colours, with very slight alterations, for at least the last 20yrs from a myriad of suppliers.
Mine is from "nutool", but I've seen Clarke, Axminster, and Sealey badges on exactly the same saw.

The bent metal stand is rubbish, but the saws themselves are actually pretty good once fettled.

There are LOTS of websites and threads on various forums across the internet detailing mods/improvements and info on them.

First thing I'd do is get rid of the stand.
Then add coolant.
Then a hydraulic feed.

You missed off add grease/oil to the gearbox before it self destructs!

I was looking to upgrade the Myford from ER25 to a drawbar setup so looked like just the job. Sigh will I ever learn.

If you're looking to move them on, would you be able to bung up a few pics and dimensions please?

Korloy SVJCR from amazon for a tenner delivered, last one

 

[Tom O]

What are your plans for it?

My Dad started a compound marine engine but never finished much past the castings with no real plans drawn up hopefully this will give more incentive to carry on and figure it out a steam supply was one of the barriers this is how far I got.

I acquired a second hand one recently and agree with you that it's a very good saw for the money The stand would benefit from some bracing and a decent wheel/castor set up. Coolant feed would be an option but only if I used it heavily. What do you mean by hydraulic feed - are you referring to the lowering/lifting mechanism?

They'll be up for sale once the regret wears off.

Edit sorry that was in response to @Mr Fro ...

The life form down the road asked if a dead Angry grinder was any good to me as spares.
I was told the motor was goosed, as he had "belled it out.



I said yes.

In between jobs today.



Oh yes the cable clamp is loose as well.




Fully working and now fitted with a flap disc.

Yes.
The lowering mechanism.
Someone mentioned using a "motorbike steering damper"?

Is that in the floor / on carpet? Fibres will block the cooling fans super quick.
