When I got my 12 x 9 horizontal bandsaw some years ago, it was missing the work table for vertical operation and the work stop. I finally got around to making a work stop.
The holes in the body were just under 1" - I'm guessing 25 mm. I got to use one of my adjustable reamers. A few tweaks and it cut the holes just right. That cast iron really takes a nice finish. I have a few pieces of 1" shafting with keyway. Perfect. Since I've read that the work can get wedged between the stop and the blade, I decided to make a tip-up version. Ignore the lousy welds. My Miller is set up to practice aluminum welding with the spoolgun, so I used the old welder.
And swung up ...
