This week's class was "Band Saw Tune-Up and Safety", presented by Ted Riggs, a long-term member, the host of our turning special interest group, and a past president. Ted thoroughly covered the construction and adjustments of a 14" band saw, typical of what would be found in most home shops. We learned how to choose replacement tires, make shop-made guide blocks, and select a blade suited to the work. Ted explained the advantages of riser blocks and quick tension releases and went on to demonstrate how to quickly achieve a precision adjustment of blade tracking, the table, guide bearings and blocks. All of this was done without the need for any measurement tools.
