Making a Band Saw - Full Build Video

This video shows how I made the wooden band saw I designed. It's a 12“ model, and that means the wheels are 12“ in diameter. The max resaw capacity is 7-1/4“. It uses an 80“ blade. The motor I used is a 1 hp induction motor that runs at 1725 rpm. The pulley ratio is 2:1 with the lower wheel running at half the motor speed. The unique feature is the quick release tensioner. With a simple flip of a lever it releases the tension on the blade. ▶️ Project plans for sale: ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: ▶️ Patreon: ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: My “Scrap bin“ channel: #ibuildit #woodworking Website: Facebook: https://www.
