don't know if they're on sale now, but McMaster-Carr handles Starrett, you can order online with a credit card, no account necessary. I think I paid around...
Thanks for the tip, I have been paying about $20 a cartridge for my replacements for my cutter. Jerry ... filter http://weldingdirect.com/subairfilfor.html I...
I **finially** had a Homier tent sale in my area and grabbed the only 03111 that they had. It looks pretty darn good to me although I haven't tried using it...
... After a brief look I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work vertical. You'd need to devise a pin to lock it in the vertical position. Oddly the existing...
Congrats on the saw Dave ... let us know how it works out. I am interested since today I went to the Homier sale with every intention of getting the 03111 saw....
Ah, well you must have seen **something** that changed your mind. I'm sure Taiwan is a step up from China. This is my first horz. bandsaw and it looks good to...
Yup .. sounds like you got a fine saw. As long as you like it and it works for what you want, then it's the right saw for you. Since I had already tuned mine...
Yeah, I've been wondering about a coolant scheme for this one. Seems that a large collection tray would be needed and you'd have to have holes in the tray so...
Thanks Mike for forwarding the photos. It looks like a lot of tweaking is involved to get the coolant to go where you want it to go and to come off the blade. ...
Actually once I saw some other machines and played with mine a bit it all fell into place. As you can see from the pics, the feed is just a copper tube, bent...
The manual here; http://www.use-enco.com/Machinery/505-6840.pdf contains the following warning; "Caution: Vertical cutting is prohibited in the machine. No...
... Actually there seems to be no mention of this in the Homier manual, but if the Enco is an identical design I'd suspect it is a warning worthy of some...
A neighbor gave me a 4x6 that looks like an early HF model. The label says it's a Vulcan, made in Taiwan. He had two, and said that this one had problems...
Mine came with a table for vertical use but it was flimsy so I made a beefier one out of 6061 Aluminum, which I use regularly. One just has to be careful, ...
The biggest area that causes this problem is the pulley away from the motor end. The pulley needs to be tilted back to where the blade rides back against the...
My Wilton is also not supposed to be used in vertical mode. The hydraulic damper geometry is what limited its movement to fully vertical. I replaced the bolt...
Yeah, I guess time will tell. The saw isn't that complicated. The hydraulic cylinder disconnects easily. It may be slightly top-heavy. I can't think of...
I had the same problem. The Guide Bearing Assembly looks like it's mounted with a tongue and groove arraignment and only allowed up/down adjustment. Just last...
About the only time this hasn't been an issue is when I was just trying out how my new jet 5x6 cut using small scrap pieces. Being that most steel pieces are...
1) I made a little stand which is adjustable in height. I can post a picture. You do need to move it but it will handle any length. 2) I assume you are talking...
It appears that a run on the Surplus Center has resulted in a stock level of zero. Just got my HF saw, and this was going to be my first project. Has anyone...
... first ... In my opinion, a hydraulic downfeed cylinder is not a must have ( it is nice to have ). A more usefull project is to reinforce or totally replace...
I agree that the base is more important. For an easy fix, tie the 4 legs together by mounting the whole saw on a piece of plywood, w/ casters on the bottom....
I've been lurking on the list for quite a while now. I think this is probably my first post. David's post prompted me to upload a few pictures of the mobile...
I have the HF version of the 4x6 bandsaw. Mine came stock with adjustable, cammed bearings, on both sides of the blade guide. Can anyone provide me with the...
