No FB, is it missing half the vise ?

No, they usually have a C shaped piece of steel, with one clearance hole, and one threaded. A long pin goes through the clearance hole, and through one of the two holes in the fixed ‘jaw’. A long screw thread bears against the back of the fixed jaw, and pulls the mobile jaw towards it.

Definitely. We get tons of use out of ours.

One of the stranger set ups.

 

[jorogi]

Strange setup ? Hell what about a strange workpiece ?

 

[mjautek]

price is pretty good! super versatile saw to have... if you have the space. the footprint is pretty big. the only other drawback I can think of is that you can't get cheap blades (they're like 100$ from mcmaster)

They were lights for a butcher shop. New (empty) tanks, lop the tops off in the bandsaw, pull the hardware out, paint them bright red, and stick a socket inside.

This is to cut propane cylinder and make a small melting furnace. I did the same, just with angle grinder . Important to fill it up with water prior to cutting.

Wonder if anyone looks up and recognizes and thinks… hmmm?

It works okay. Has a tendency to pull round stock up off the table, so you need to pull the clamp up to the top of its travel as it comes into contact and tightens against the stock.


Robin Renzetti has a neat setup on his roll in saw, that I’ve always meant to try on ours.

Biggest issue I have with ours (and likely any of this design) is keeping the blade tracking well as the upper blade guide arm is moved up and down. The blade wandering in a cut, due to tracking issues or damage, tends to give you a really wide slot in the table. I think RR milled a pocket, and mounted a replaceable sheet steel ‘zero clearance’ insert.

I really wish I had room for this (and the money for it too ). It's killing me that it's still up and not gone.

Love the BBQ tank lights. Creative. A sliiiiight departure from the caliber of work you guys normally do though lol.

The one at my last job was pretty bad. The fence was too. I always wanted to mill out a dovetail and make some replaceable inserts, but there was just never enough desire knowing they would just get destroyed in a short period of time anyway by people that just don't gaf. Someday on my own saw.....

TBH, I don't think it's actually that complicated of a fabrication to build ones own. A good head start would be to pickup a cheap 7x12 horizontal. The table itself would be the next biggest expense, but having the saw head pre built would be a heck of a head start. Sure, a reduced capacity compared to a regular one, but sharing a blade size with a saw I already have, and the reduced footprint are all in the plus column. You can tell I've thought about this more than a few times..........There are some operations made so much easier on a roll in vs horizontal. Given the choice between either I'd take the horizontal first, but the roll in is certainly on the wish list.

Indeed, thank you.

Yes, they came to us with the idea, and there was just enough room in the budget to meat our... uh, meet our price.
Retail and hospitality (restaurants, bars, hotels) interior design is usually too cheap to make room for custom lighting.

I hope you at least got some free BBQ out of the deal though.
