An everything you need to know video to get your saw running perfectly… very informative along with easy to follow instructions regarding every possible aspect in tuning your bandsaw to run perfectly…👍

I have the Same saw With the exception of having the option to cut metal along with a transmission in the back to slow the blade down,, the only problem is it doesn’t stay locked in that high or low position it starts to migrate out and drift into neutral so I have to pull that all apart and see what the hell is going on in there,, but as far as everything else you’ve done I went ahead and followed your plan of attack here and everything’s perfect.. thanks man..👍

Thank you for this Iain! I have an older band saw from the early 80s in dire need of pretty much everything you have done.

Emily the Rabbit thanks for watching! I wish I could describe the difference in this saw’s performance between when I first tried it after putting the motor on and when I got done tuning it up. It’s like a totally different machine now.

Thanks for the comprehensive alignment video. I now have 2 Delta/Rockwell 14” bandsaws one 1934 and 1990 (just got for free needed motor repair) it is amazing how simmer but different they are. Your videos are very informative

Does the 1934 saw have a miter gauge slot in the table? I’ve heard the really early ones didn’t have a miter gauge slot.

Why did you sell the Ridgid?

The Ridgid never left the shop. I put a riser block and a 5hp motor on it and use it for resawing now. It can be seen resawing in the desktop organizer video. The Rockwell is actually going to be moving out to the barn pretty soon to make room for a much older (and bigger) bandsaw.

@@SQ_og I run Olson number 23105 blades on it. It’s a half inch blade and the Ridgid has no problem tensioning it. I also put a Carter Quick release tensioner on the Ridgid.
