Also, you know I have a 3D printer, if you need a part just draw it up, email me and I'll print it.
I'm slowly getting more time and printing stuff isn't an issue as it takes up about 3 minutes of my actual time regardless of how long the print time is.
Also, if you need it in metal, brass etc, give me the sizes, diameter and pitch as well as thread type (UNC, AF, Metric etc) and I can probably ask my mate down the road who has a fully equipped work shop to make something.
Failing that, send the fucker in, you know our address. I'll make something up that's durable either with the printer or on a lathe/milling machine down the road.
I owe you that for freezing you for two weeks, and I'd like to as well.

I appreciate that but I have resources here. The other brand of tensioner I linked to appears to be the ticket. The local supplier didn't have one in stock, but had already ordered more.
If that one fails, maybe I'll come up for a visit.

Perhaps I should have titled it "bandsaw woes of a non-injury nature".
You know, the bandsaw is actually an evil, sneaky bastard. Unlike the table saw, which loudly advertising its abundant dangers so you are super-cautious when working with it, the bandsaw seems innocuous. What could go wrong? The blade moves only downward, you don't have to lean over the work surface, it can't throw anything at you. But damn, that blade can remove a finger without even slowing down if you aren't always completely aware of where your body parts are in relation to the saw.

Oh but that table saw can be sneaky too. Husband basically cut a 1/4 inch dado in his finger with his old table saw and didn't even realize it til the blood started flowing.
I had a table saw incident in high school shop. No blood or loss of body parts but it scared the crap out of me (almost literally). To this day, I believe I was following all of the safety rules and don't know how I could have prevented it.geonuc wrote:gethen wrote:geonuc wrote:Swift wrote:When I saw the title... well, I'm just glad it doesn't involve finger reattachment.

Table saws are freaking dangerous. Glad it was only a small dado.
I was thinking more about fanatic paranoia than safety rules when I was 30 some feet up in a tree with a running chainsaw a few weeks ago. I was trying not to drop any of it on the nearby garage, fall out of the tree, or cut myself in half.geonuc wrote:Thumper, the safety rules are good but I find fanatic paranoia to be very helpful in preventing incidents.

Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
