Don't stop, if you think of any new mods, we are always interested.

Hi Matt. Good idea using the plastic pipe and its exactly where its needed.
It will save a lot of dust landing on the lower wheel like conventional methods. Tony

[@Badgerworkshop]

It does seem to do a good job

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Matt, glad that all worked out, as always keep safe and well mate, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you Les

[@michaelplays2449]

Excellent videos Matt ,really enjoyed them all........Thanks

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@ASCarvings]

Good little saw series

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@DANDWYERIRL]

Add a T into the pipe with a stiff flexible hose that you can bend to near the cutting area. Think like the crown guard dust extraction on a table saw

[@christopherdean3606]

Great videos as always Matt. 👍🏻

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@bobhall2171]

Brilliant solution 👌

Thank you Keith

[@JerGoes]

Surely NOT the last video about this bandsaw!! looks to me like it could do with an outfeed system :)

[@talkingbeers]

Great to see it all come together Matt, the magnets update is simple “Eureka” idea too.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Wish I had thought of it at the start

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Nice fix to a dusty problem, mate 👍🏽
And an equally as nice retune of the fixings for the pipe. 👌🏽
Can't wait to see what your next project is working with this beast!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@briansworkshop01]

Great video thanks for sharing 🍺🍺👍👍😷

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@AaronWahab]

Another great video Matt, looking forward to seeing what you make with the bandsaw. Also I really liked the to camera into, sounded super crisp!

[@rusty633]

You did damn well with the saw, the videos are fantastic and with making of stuff is most enjoyable

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@normanbott]

That 1.3 TPI blade looks positively frightening ! Nice restoration Matt. There's not much in the way of used equipment where we are, I'd love to refurb. a bandsaw. We used to refurb. machine tools as part of my apprenticeship decade ago - so enjoyable.

[@Badgerworkshop]

This one took a lot of searching for

[@normanboyes4983]

Nice solution - good call on saving me suggesting magnets.🤣

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@erictheviking672]

Really enjoyed these videos. Scary new blade. Take care.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you.

[@DaveGDesigns]

Nice job Matt I’ve enjoyed this series 👌🏻

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@karlsjov]

What a great idea, thanks for sharing 🙂

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@animationcreations42]

Now you've got the bandsaw finished, I guess it's time for a new Table saw? 😂

[@Badgerworkshop]

Haha maybe

[@lefthandedwoodworks]

I knew it! Rob Cosman...

[@Badgerworkshop]

He is good

[@awantamta]

Great final piece of the jigsaw

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@divvyboy]

It’s a bandsaw.

[@krullibull123]

You could easily improve on that dust collection. First thing is to get a bigger hose, ideally around 40mm ID for easy connection to the pipe. I use a rather ridgid hose one for pools/ponds.
Second is that you need some more holes in the plate around the blade. To get som more airflow.

[@richardkeith2778]

You dont know how much dust didn't get collected , so how can you claim you could improve it ?
Drilling holes into a cast iron table around the blade slot ? Realy ??
I doubt much sawdust is queueing up by the hose adaptor, no doubt you will publish a video showing how its done ......
Publish your work like Matt, or stick to designing by sofa

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

good job...awesome bandsaw..

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@dougsaunders8109]

‘Recon great result for the time and money invested.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@OldTownFabricationDesign]

This is a really nice solution. I wonder if adding some brushes inside the tube to brush both sides of the blade would improve it further?

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes that night help

[@JohnColgan.]

See how much dust is sat in the bottom of the wheel covers??

[@iancreese9310]

First to watch it. Well done Matt great video as usual.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@MrGeroth]

I would enter but, shipping those to the United States would cost a fortune, thanks for sharing.

[@steviecator2108]

Have people been moaning about too many bandsaw videos?! No need to apologise to me I've thoroughly enjoyed all these bandsaw restoration videos and hope it proves reliable for you

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@nicolaasmarais1068]

Nice job.....the black paint suck the dark green looks much better

[@tinywoodshop5491]

How loud is the bandsaw, would you say as loud as the table saw?

[@jyvben1520]

that first moving of the bandsaw looked very unstable, could be painful if it pinned you down

[@iambueno]

Looks like it would fall over if you tripped into it.

[@js8039]

Judging by the way you were walking, I'd wager you felt motivated in getting the fit right the first time. Cast iron is heavy.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Yes it was pretty heavy
