Last spring, I made a film (documentary) about my working with my new sawmill. (QuickTime). It's only in french, sorry. But I hope you'll like the images. ...
I recently bought a ripsaw setup and have enjoyed it so far. I really don't have enough experience with it to have any specific questions yet, just wanted to...

Looks like the blade is not tracking properly. The teeth should never come in contact with the wheel in that area. If this has been ongoing I believe the crown...
I recently bought a new Ripsaw and haven't had much time to use it, today being about the second time out (still using the original blade). I noticed when...
I thought I'd start a post to get a few opinions/procedures on your method of bandsaw blade cleaning/sharpening. I'd also like to get opinions on blade...
Kevin, Sounds like this is something new to me and I have been dealing with Ripsaw parts directly for more than 15 years (yikes!). Were you able to lossen the...
Deb, thanks for the reply. I did a follow-up post to the original with the results of my conversation with Roland but every time I do a reply to a message, I...
Deb, I spoke with Roland yesterday morning and replacement parts are on the way. I don't think the tension bolt had been lubed prior to shipping, it was seized...
I've noticed that at times that I'll start getting wavy cuts and a blade change will cure it. The blade will still seem to be sharp but the set is near gone....
We have encountered the same problem. At a woodland owners conference a few years ago I sat next to a sawmill guru. He told me that the small diameter wheels...
Hello, Al here in PA. I was planning to buy the setter for my XL4 in the future.... Have the same problem too. For now I am just building up my pile of ...
Hi, I found a "hand-setter" that is fairly low priced. http://www.hud-son.com/band_blade_setter_link.htm Also Wood-mizer makes an entire sharpening and setting...
The teeth of the Ripsaw blades should not come in contact with the wheels. There is a crown on the wheels which the blade rides on to prevent the blade from...
Thanks for the comments and tips, I hadn't even considered watching for the teeth making contact with the wheel. I think my guides are set correctly (will...

I think I want to sell my Ripsaw, with a Sthill 065 on it. I have it for many years but it is still a low timer tool. I don't need it anymore since I bought a...
This is a Snow Blower story but if you have a problem with your XL4 with the Honda only running with the choke on full this may help. Last time I used my mill...
Hi, I have a ripsaw that I've been using for about five years with no significant problems. However, I now have a problem with the blade moving upward (at...
I would check the individual bearings on the wheels to see if the bearings are shot and the wheels are turned up. Can you wobble the big wheels with the blade...
Al, I think you've pinned it down. I checked the wheels as per your suggestion. The drive wheel is quite wobbly and the idle wheel, while not wobbly, does not...
While I am no longer associated with Ripsaw, the product line, nor it's current manufacturer, I did stay in touch with the blade manufacturer. For over 20...
