Turning the Bandsaw Wheels - CNCnutz Episode 25

As part of my Bandsaw build from the plans of Matthias Wandel, I had to turn the wheels to ensure they are running true. Also to shape the main pulley and put the crown on the wheels. Lastly the wheels has to balanced. This video shows how it was done as described in the plans.

Great job CNC! I refer people to your video all the time since they are always looking for an alternative to buying wheels for the free sawmill plans that I offer. DIY is the way to go. Every person writes me back thanking me for the video when they should leave a comment here for you.

Very cleverly done! Thanks for posting.

Very nice setup! You could set up a great disc sander using the same motor / pulley!

Great vid, I'm nearly inspired to have a go. Can you tell us how long it took you to complete the project? How many man-hours do you reckon?

What is the radius of the crown?? good video

[FergH-K]

no no I have read it all, It is just a band saw dude!! this guy is just making one for himself, it is not like he is selling them or anything

[Serostern]

I've never had a hole fall off yet ^^

Blue, did you ever Prove that Matthias stole an idea from you? Did that guy that made a bicycle out of cardboard steal that idea from you too?

MacGyver - If you are experiencing because of his ideas - why give the video to the size and detail. All you got to the Internet - not a secret. I agree with cncnutz - do not mind paying a few dollars for the solution of many problems. Matthias sells ready-made and simple drawings, not ideas. Who prevents you from making the same plans and get money for them? Your buyers would be happy, and you too.

you are balancing these wheels way beyond their commercial counterparts..
