About this deal
long aluminum rule with four rare-earth magnets fastened to one side and a space next to the magnets for the bandsaw’s blade. My first round before tuning it up ended up losing a number of my boards due to varying thicknesses.
I made a lash up of one, it's rather handy for me, as my table can move about with the make it safe and learn to weld bracket I made for the trunnion. I'm not really sure what the gizmo you bought was, but I have never had any problems with alignment either at 90 degrees to the table or 90 degrees to the miter slot.Time will tell, but it may prove its worth down the road, if I find myself needing to change from the wide blade to the narrow one and back again quickly, with my flat tired machine, that means the tracking adjustment gets more turns compared to a cambered wheeled machine.
Timbecon is passionate about reliable and affordable products that will get you into woodworking today. With holes spaced every half-inch, you can also use the tool as a compass to draw circles up to a 23" diameter for bowl blanks. I set my wheels co-planer, I flutter tension my blade, I align my miter slot (table) with the blade. It won't work on any blade smaller than 1/2" and you must remove the sliding stop prior to putting it on the blade. Due to the convex running surfaces on the rollers, the saw band is distorted depending on the tension and settings.Heard many say that a non issue, my saw is tippy on a good day, tried swapping my base end for end with no luck.
