Thank you. I am Czech and lived in the UK past 18 years. Mostly in Yorkshire but also couple of years in the yellow belly land.

Purchased the Aldi/Ferex version 18 months ago. Same experience till I upgraded the blade from Tuffsaws. After that it proved to be a great saw. Best advice when buying the supermarket entry level saws is to immediately change the blade. Guys at Tuffsaws very helpful.

Thanks for this excellent video. I bought this bandsaw a week ago, and it was quite easy to assemble and set it up with your help. I have used a few different bandsaw models, but this is the first time I bought one. Without your instructions, I could have plenty of problems.

So now I have it running initial impressions are positive. It was reasonably easy to adjust everything to get it square following this video. The main things I don't like are: - it's hard to explain, but there is a lot of wobble in the the upper blade guide as you raise and lower it, which can make it hard to set the position relative to the blade consistently. I assume this is normal? - the supplied blade gives a somewhat rough finish, but this seems to be common complaint. I'm keen to try something better.

You impressed me greatly with such a professional presentation, young man. Accept my getulations, keep it up. Greetings from Poland.

​@@silverblogsurfer9338Hmmm...thats not good. The blade should not move left or right unless being pushed over by guide bearing or something. Its position is defined by the top and bottom wheel alignment. The bottom wheel can be adjusted at the back of the saw by 4 screws around its shaft. But please do some research before you start as I have never done it before and certainly not an expert. It should come set from factory and you should never touch these. If your saw is new in warranty take it back or contact Scheppach for support. Try running a proper blade in it first. The one that came with the saw is rubbish and you'll never get that to perform.

I have done little bit of resawing, not much. The heighest piece I've done was the african iroko you might have seen in the video and the longest piece I've done was pressure treated softwood, approximately 1m long. With a good wide blade it was cutting accurate and it was not lacking of power. Never tried any hard wood but I am sure if taken steady it will do the job.

Hi, both bandsaw jewellery boxes you have seen in the video will be featured on my channel soon. Each will have a dedicated video where I'll explain how to make them from start to finish along with mistakes I've done during the making so you can avoid them. Concider subscribing so you dont miss anything. The internal cuts on the piece you inquiring about are done on the bandsaw. I started the cut through a stem which is a common blade entry to each leave. The entry cuts are then glued back together and what had been cut out from each leave becomes a drawer to store jewellery in.

Excellent video!!! So in depth detail of the setup. The best one i´ve found so far. Im looking forward on upgrading the blades. Which blades would you recommend for straight cutting and radius cutting from TuffSaws? As TuffSaws seem not to be shipping outside the UK at this moment is there other reliable brand/supplier i could get decent and reliable blades? Thanks again.

@pscraftydiy

Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I've never tried any other brands than TuffSaws blades to be fair. These have been recommended to me along with the Bandsaw Shop blades manufactured in Leeds. These also have good reviews. I made some inquiries with both manufacturers but only TuffSaws were able to supply the 3/16 blade and actually said if it snaps or does not run in the HBS261 they will replace it with 1/4 that they know for sure it runs. That was convincing enough for me to stick to them. They recommended the Supertuff carbon range as lot more tension can be applied and better traction can be achieved because these blades are thicker. One disadvantage is that the cut is slightly wider kerf than standart blades. No bother so far though. I use the 3/16 6tpi blade for tight curves and the 1/2 4tpi for long straight cuts in higher stock. But since I found the 3/16 runs with no problem and cuts straight I run it on most task I do, straight or curves in lower softer stock. Saves me changing and setting up all the time. Its a shame TuffSaws don't ship outside the UK but you will find that with most small companies in the UK after Brexit. Try joining a bandsaw FB group in your country and see what blades people use in the community more local to you. Thats how I found out about TuffSaws and the Bandsaw Shop. Hope it helps and if you find europian manufacturer that is good and makes 3/16 tpi blade for HBS261 please share as there is a lot of interest from EU viewers. Many thanks

Hello, what to do to make the tape cut straight along the line and not run to the sides? 

@pscraftydiy

Жыл бұрын

Hi, I explain the whole set up in this video. First you need to make sure your blade is tracking correctly and has a correct tension then you set the guides. After that you set your table 90 degrees to the blade and set your fence parallel to the mitre slot. If the blade still drifts from the line you need to set the teble by twisting it to componsate for the blade drift 4 bolts underneath. The set up starts round 4:24 in this video or you can use my other video which is dedicated just for bandsaw set up. Make sure you have decent blade as the one that came with the saw is not great and I could not get it to cut straight on the line.

Sorry, is your blade oscilating left and right without even cutting? Is that what you meant? If thats the case your top or bottom wheel is not balanced or concentric or one of your tyres could have high/low spots that could cause this as well.

@pscraftydiy

Жыл бұрын

Also, open both guards take all guides off to keep these out of equation keep rotating the wheels manually and see if the blade catches anywhere on spine, frame etc. Check tyres are not slipping if the blade cannot be tracked and keeps slipping of the bottom wheel and you 100% sure it does it with every blade then your bottom wheel is not in line with the top one or not centerline with top. There is 4 screws round the shaft for the bottom wheel at the back of the saw I beleive thats what they for. But I am not familiar with how to do the adjustment there properly and would not touch those without researching how to do this. Is the saw new or have you had it for a while? If its new and nothing works take it back. Hope you get it sorted and if you do, let me know what it was, I am interested.

Brilliant video, so clear. Can you please confirm/advise where and what you bought to replace the supplied blade?

I got my blades from TuffSaws tuffsaws.co.uk/ and I went for their SuperTuff Carbon range as that's what they have recommended to me when inquiring about running the 3/16inch blade in my saw. The blades are slightly thicker which can be bit of downside as the kerf is slightly wider but they are very strong and I really like them. Blade lenght for Scheppach HBS261 is 1790mm. Hope that helps.

I took your advice and got some new blades from tuffsaws - three all together, one the same size and tpi as that supplied with the saw, one larger ( half inch) and one smaller for finer work. I have only used the 3/8” one so far but had quite some trouble getting it tight enough. Did you struggle also? Do you slacken off the tension when you are not using the saw? What about the spare blades, do you leave them coiled up or un-coiled.

@pscraftydiy

Жыл бұрын

​@@johnfreezer7239Hi, no I didn't have any problem tensioning new blades from TuffSaws. Check if they've sent you correct lenght and check your tensioning mechanism is not damaged/ stretched, are the threads on tensioning threaded bar OK, not slipping? Hopefully it's just the blade being to long. Did you try the original blade back in, how did that go? Compere the blade lenght with that. You are not supposed to leave tension on when not using/ storing the saw. It can stress the blade, tyres or tensioninig mechanism. But I must admit I sometimes forget to release tension when I am done. So far I had one blade snap on me when started the saw due to this but no damage to saw found. I always coil up my blades that I am not using and put them back in the box they came from due to lack of space in my garage. Hope that helps, let me know how you get on.
