to those that made their own bandsaw mill.
I was just thinking about safety shields and such. What I was
wondering is, if you break a band or it comes off your wheel all the sudden, how much damage can one of these do to the operator? Should a person place some sort of protection between the operator and the band saw carriage in a manually pushed carriage design? |
If you are running the machine yourself make sure to tell the wife to check
that you are still upright every half hour or so and keep a stock of blood and ice handy. If you have employees keep your lawyer on retainer. "Modat22" wrote in message ...

Not much happened ec\xcept PING. The band had little motorment. But if there had been no guards, it could have been a mess. With a 1.5-2" band, it would be worse. |
