UJK Bandsaw Buddy

Product Information

At 250mm long, it is an easy task to then spot any discrepancy in the fence alignment and make necessary adjustments. All the gizmos and gadgets are a waste of time and money IMOI agree the gizmos and gadgets are a waste but you are assuming the able is properly aligned and the blade is good.

I aligned my band saw table to the blade and I no longer have drifting problems, even when I change blades. If the wheels and/or tires are crowned then adjusting position of blade on tires with the tracking adjustment will change alignment.The Companion is also an accurate rule, has a sliding stop for setting distances, and can be used as a beam for scribing circles.

The holes along the length are simply an easy way of drawing circles at set radii and nothing to do with the aligning of the blade.it should be a cheap and easy thing to make from a piece of flat scrap MDF, masonite, perspex etc and a rare earth magnet or two. The fence is mounted to the table solidly and aligned to the miter track, not designed for adjustment. The Bandsaw Companion tool from iGaging has two rare earth magnets on one side, which attach it firmly to the blade, best on 1/2″ and wider blades. I was going to do a deluxe version with an embedded compass, so not only could you align your blade and fence, but also make sure the blade was running in a propitious direction according to feng shui principles. I did what he did on my bandsaw and I've only did one test cut but I was able to cut a test piece 0.

The table adjustment procedure is to loosen not remove these bolts, tap the table into the desired alignment position with a mallet, then tighten the bolts.intervals allow you to draw arcs or circles in 25mm steps from 75mm to 400mm, a useful feature for marking curves or when cutting bowl blanks. I prefer a normal compass for marking out circles, but I suppose that won't mark out such big circles. A steel ruler would be great, if you could actually find one that is flat, and has some thickness to it.
