"Toy" Bandsaw
Have just been given a small three wheel band saw, had to make an upper
blade guide for it. Obviously designed for hobby woodworking, blade is 56 1/8 inch long 1/4 by 6tpi. Can this be converted to light metal cutting? I realise that the motor (direct drive ) will have to be slowed down; are there any metal cutting blades of this size (1/4 or 3/8 wide) available? Do not have blade welding equipment, how effective is silver soldering for joining blade ends? Is the joint a butt or scarf type? Ray, in sunny Victoria. |
