That part where I was building the tank, or basin drove me crazy. I thought I could weld but could not get that thing to not leak, so I finally gave up and used JB Weld to seal it, and I intend to get that gas tank sealer paint to make sure. I am researching vices. Mine is really heavy, like maybe 50 lb. and I'm looking for something that doesn't look like it was build by cavemen./ Actually my tank looks a lot like this one, except I made a deeper channel for the blade and a slanted bottom. I would like a little more detail on your vice as I really like it. Ok, I see that and thank you. I will see if I can make that. I think this is one of the most helpful for me. I see bearings on your bar. I am just drilling a 1" hole for the carriage to ride on. Thank you for taking the time to present your build.

Those V-Link adjustable belts are awesome 👍. they last longer take vibration out of equipment because you can make them tight and remove a link after a little use and make them tight again.

Nice saw, I would love to build a big saw like yours. Great work thanks for sharing. I am currently building a 14" saw. I cheated on the housing side and used a cheap 150 parts washer I bought of off Amazon, along with a motor. I got my arbor shaft, pulleys from Covington. Working on design for the carriage and vise currently.

I'm currently involved in building an 18" saw, and it's a bit ugly but I've owned my mess and will make it work. At 77 I've discovered I don't weld so good anymore.. My tub leaked so I have just used JB Weld to seal it and will follow that up with bondo in the seams. I need to see where I can find a 3/8th inch all thread. I'm thinking I need to rethink my rails and use a 5/8th inch steel bar, but I will have to cut holes in my vice, and I'm wondering how the vice will travel on those bars. I rebuilt a 24" HP machine some years ago and it wasn't near as difficult as this mess is. It was a home made saw with a sheet metal tub which I discarded, but I have the new moter and the usable blade.Thanks for your video. I see a lot of innovations I haven't seen before.

With regards to your tub leaking so did mine that is why you see me painting the Red Coat on the inside. Red coat is avaliable at auto parts stores . easier than bondo. Red Coat is formulated to seal gas tanks like rusty motorcycle tanks. I found the allthread I used at McMasters and Carr. They are a supplier of all kinds of usefull things. I will try to help in anyway I can.

@@sproulehomestead2902 You have already been helpful. Actually I built my tub with the slanting floor and a channel for the blade like you did. I've been looking at the product Red Coat, and I saw it was expensive,, $40ish for a quart. That may be all I need. I read about other products and I didn't like the reviews, so now you are making me think I should use the Red Coat instead of the Bondo, but how will that product adhere to the JB Weld epoxy I used? Is it actually a kind of paint? Can you paint over it? Thank you again for your time and your reply.

@@sproulehomestead2902 Thank you for your reply. I took the bondo back and am going to use the Red Coat as you have. Shocked me when I read the label on Bondo which basically said they won't honor any lawsuit brought against them by anyone. Crazy. An outlaw company.

Nicely done. And living in Oregon, you'll have lots of good material to cut in your new machine.

Thank you for sharing! I'll have to look up rotisserie motors to see if they have a clutch mechanism. I'm currently building a diy saw about the same specs. I'm using surplus 80/20 aluminum for the framework

Very nice thanks. Like the vise. I've built a couple a really long time ago but the vise used the threaded rod instead of the jamb bracket. This looks a lot easier.

I always knew I could build the arbor but coming up with an easy to build and use clamp was the thing that stumped me.

How much in materials did you think you spent?
@sproulehomestead2902 3 жыл бұрын
I'm not too sure, but even with the blade added I think around 1000.00 dollars. I found many of the parts on-line, Aircraft Spruce for the brass bushings, thebigbearingstore.com/ for the bearings and other parts. thank you for your question, always willing to help.
