Homemade bandsaw (version 2) This project started when people started asking me about plans for my original bandsaw (version 1). I didn't want to give people plans for that one, because I already had ideas for how to build an even better one. This second bandsaw is a 16" bandsaw. I chose that size because that's the largest I could go while still using a 105" blade. 105" blades are used by 14" bandsaws with riser blocks, so that length is very commonly available and in stock at most woodworking stores.A few ideas made this bandsaw possible: Wood beam frame, laminated from boards Integrated pulley on the lower wheel The use of innertubes as bandsaw tires Truing the wheels while spinning on their own bearings Build, part 1 Build, part 2 Bandsaw trunnions Bandsaw plans A stand for the bandsaw More details about building this bandsaw in the bandsaw plans See also: Buy the plans for this bandsawSee the specs Building my 14" bandsaw (bandsaw version 3) Building bandsaw 1 (My first homemade bandsaw experiment) Carving canoe paddles on the bandsaw Rader built bandsaws How crowned pulleys work (blade tracking) Making a gear on the bandsaw vs. a CNC mill Dovetail joints on the bandsaw The physics of bandsaw resawing (Why blades can drift) 3D reindeer on the bandsaw Many more articles about bandsaws
