Almost finished with this bandsaw update that will go with this Mark V. I got a Plug ordered for the access hole / My idea is a MacMaster plug :cool: . I will drill the hole once I get the plug I ordered in hand. I put a rubber grommet in the tension adjusting hole in mine to hold a short hex key i...

The two pulleys give you a choice of speeds. Only recently made bandsaws have a hole for tensioning. You'll need a window also so you can see the tension gauge without taking the side cover off. Here's an example of a DIY window: https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?p=182706#p182706 You can als...

I'm thinking about all the Eds and non-Eds in the storms path. Hope everyone comes out OK.

HDPE would be a great surface for the planer bed. Very slippery. But also very difficult to glue it to the aluminum casting ;) Actually silicone would work very well to hold it down. It can be thinned to spread a light coat. If it can be wrapped over the ends of the casting it could be held down wit...

Hard to tell from the picture. The lock screw is not supposed to center in the divot. The conical end of the screw should only contact the side of the divot. It is not supposed to reach the bottom of the divot. It is supposed to push on the side of the divot as it is tightened.
