I put the Tuff Saws blade on the bandsaw today, it took a while though! I had to take the table off to get to the blade, there was a piece of the casing in the way, then I couldn't reach the bolt to take it off, I needed a socket wrench but don't have any. I was almost on my way back to B&Q when I realised the bolted piece of metal just swung to the side so you could get to the blade! :-[ As it turnred out it was much easier to set the guide blocks without the table there so it wasn't actually a waste of time. Yay! I set the blocks too close to begin with and just got a huge grinding sound, a little adjustment though and everything was fine. With that done I could start properly on the build.
The blank marked up ready for the bandsaw.
The blank marked with a chalk pencil when I realized I coulndn't see the pencil line!
The body cut out on the bandsaw. I enjoyed this bit, it felt very natural. The bandsaw performed quite well for a small one, the only time it ground to a halt was when I tried to turn a corner too quickly. Note too self - don't do that again.
The template stuck down with some vinyl flooring adhesive tape. Just a few strips around the edge as I wanted to make sure it came off! No problem.
