See the back story at: /Startrite_metal_bandsaw_pledge
Specification
3 wheel, 5 speed, 24" throat bandsaw.
Cast-iron two-part tiltable table.
Powered from 415V three phase supply.
Usage
In the Hackspace, this is intended only for metal cutting, and the blade installed reflects this.
Safety
Blades and Maintenance
Blade length is 3200mm / 126"
The first blade bought is a Morse M42 bimetal 10-14tpi varipitch from Bandsaw Blades Direct in Heanor. This is a general-purpose production-quality blade for cutting materials between 6mm and 35mm in thickness.
For thinner materials (3mm to 8mm thick) a 32tpi constant pitch blade may be added later if found necessary (due to the use expected of this saw).
Further information concerning blade selection and troubleshooting.
