Well, son of a gun!!! I watched this 5 times, followed every step precisely, and now I can actually resaw with my Delta 16”. Just WOW!!! Thank you so much!!!!

What are we seeing differently with the saw guard removed? Seriously. We don't need to physically see the saw cutting the board. We know what goes on there. Keep your safety guard in place.

thank you very much ... best instructions you can get and they are very helpful ....regards

This is truly the most helpful and amusing information I have found in weeks!! I needed to know how to work with shellac........but not french polishing! mahogany chest. No one is discussing this. Just finished parts of this chest and struggling with the residual oil?? difficult getting around the single carved at bottom, but its not too badly done. And yes, this is quite a few years after the production.

Great video ! Thanks a ton Alex ! Just purchased my first bandsaw. I can't find Johnson's Paste Wax. What are people using now?

As a guy just about to purchase my first band saw, this is fantastic. Thank you so much. 12 years after the original post, this is still giving value.

I have to come back and watch this multiple times. I must remember this information. Also get another bandsaw.

Great video, learned a lot

Nice!! Thanks for sharing 👍

Eye opening! Still the best video I've watched so far!

Bandsaw safety : My father grew up in Elkins, WV. from 1904 to 1926. At one time, in my youth, he told me about a man being accidently cut in two by a bandsaw. At the tim e, I had never seen a bandsaw any bigger than those in a high school woodshop and couldn't imagine such a severe accident. later in life, I was in Cass, WV. and saw a large bandsaw, capable of 200.000 board feet per day. The blade is 65 feet long and 19 inches wide. The carriages feed the log into the saw at extremely high speed (90 MPH?). A careless worker might fall in the way of the carriage and be carried into the blade! What a horrible way to go!

Wait...the table comes *off* ?!? Blades *fold* ?!? You can unfold them without a first aid kit open and your wife yelling "Be careful this time, honey!" And I'm less than two minutes in. A life changing video -- I will never be the same. And I'm only about 20% kidding.

i found the third chuckle brother 😂

No

Oh "THANK YOU" . Having bought my bandsaw 3 years ago I made all the rookie mistakes I thought it was a waste of time and money so it sat in the corner gathering dust. Watched this hoping it would help. Followed your tutorial to the letter and blew my mind when I got a perfect straight cut 5mm thick . Total gratitude to you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent information for a newbie and a great review for experienced DYIers. Now I understand doing a climb cut on a guitar body and why it reduces chip out. Very clear explanations of why you do, or not do, a climb cut, and why it leaves a wavey, wonky cut line.

? The Router video from The Month Of Woodworking Shows is found where....?

24:16 This guy knows what he doing (and teaching about).

Wow... Just wow! Thank you. This is the most informative video I have come across. Now to my band saw...👍👍

Will you be in Collinsville, I’ll 2024 in Feb ??????? Woodworking show

That was great. I never got mine to track straight. The main worries i had was him brushing the top whilst it was running and also not using a pushstick when he cut that first board. I remebr this butcher who backed into his bandsaw, he got a little behind in his work.😜

If the thrust bearing distorts the blade direction, why is it there at all? And why does it touch when you put pressure on it? If the reasoning is that pressure makes it bend, why wouldn't you have it really far back? So I don't think the reasoning provided logically makes sense given that it touches anyway.

I met him at a wood show and thought I would buy and try everything he has and said when I got home I did what he said and couldn’t believe it worked, I was almost going to sell my saw and get a new one but now my old delta works perfect, thanks Alex

👍👍👍❤❤❤

Will you be in NJ?

Wow!!!!! Thank you so much?

Thanks for this video. My dad gave me his old bandsaw telling me that the guide bearings were worn out. Since i know nothing about bandsaws, this gives me a bit of confidence about where to start...removing the table. Lol. I now have hope that i can progress through your advice and actually get to use it.

He is so knowledgeable but he comes off as such a carnival barker. He reminds me of a shamwow salesman.

I could sit and watch Alex Snodgrass videos all day. Thank you sir

Super Lesson

Great tips for use of the bandsaw- glad l learned something new.

That was a moose😂.... this guy is great at what he does... you can tell goes home to the bandsaw.

I adjusted my bandsaw as described in this video when replacing my blade. The results were fantastic! I'm following this man's bandsaw advice from now on.

What cause blade to stop when you push the 2by 4 in the blade i go real easy but it still stops

No responses to any questions gets a thumbs down from me, great content! Make time for your viewers.

What a great tutorial

I was sad when he stopped cutting the snake. I wanted to watch him finish that.

Super!

30:34 - what's that yellow thing?

The best bandsaw setup video, ever. I'm shocked that there aren't more likes to it, but I have to assume that a lot of people just can't be bothered, because this is very well presented, and chock full of the most useful information out there.

How about a straight line 5' long

Why does my blade keep moving toward me after I’ve placed the gullet on the centerline? Tire or tension?

Question. What blade type do you have on your table saw? Thanks

Excellent!

Guess this is what a master class should look like. Thank you.

Crazy informative and helpful.

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzfaq.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

Great job!!!😊

Wish more videos would cover the bottom wheel. it's not an exact science for me yet

Thank you very much, I needed this.
