Adjusting/setting up a bandsaw
#11
Here's a pic of my ancient 4 x 6 (1983?). It has long resided on the stout little angle iron bench that's just the right height for me.
I is sorta permanently in the upright position and is used whenever I'm in the shop for longer than taking a pic or two for this site.

   

I have had to replace the guide bearings, worm wheel and bearing and have had to make and attach a "ring" to the back of the drive wheel to replace the vestiges of the original "cast-in" ledge that suffered damage while the worm wheel and bearing wear went un-noticed.
That and a replacement motor are all I've had to do over the past 30 years to keep 'er runnin'.

Oh, you may notice that I practice similar "good housekeeping" and cleanliness as that of Greg. hey! it works for us. Blush
