Here you go Darren.

The article: http://www.machinistblog.com/a-chip-brus...6-bandsaw/

The plans: http://www.machinistblog.com/downloads/A...andsaw.pdf

That project has been on my list for quite awhile now. I even bought the brushes for it but have just not gotten around to making the modification.

Dave, did you make that bracket? It looks like a factory made part.

Willie & DaveH, thanks for the circular brush idea. It's now on my list (my long, long list, sigh).

DaveH, I'm sure he meant "non Asian factory made". Rotfl

Good point Steve! I guess I should have said it looks TOO good to be a factory part in that case. Rotfl

It's obviously a heavier bracket than what is on my saw. Blush
