Band Saw Upgrade to a flippable horizontal/vertical configuration
In this video I convert a horizontal band saw into a switchable vertical / horizontal band saw.
I also make various improvements and fixes to the machine. I know the saw doesn't fully reach a vertical position but it is close enough to use, and I think it's within my comfort once I mount a table.
This WP210 band saw was sitting around unused for about 6 years at my work (it was too small apparently). It made sense to put it to use in my shed instead!
The next video will focus on making a nice quick change dovetail work table for the vertical position, and finalising other workholding aspects and tidying up my work
Also apologies on the inconsistent lighting throughout the project. As soon as the world settles down I'll get some thick curtains on my sliding door.
And also yes, the 'click to analyse' shouldn't be there!
