Congratulations on the new member of the workshop!
Thanks so much Judith 😀
I am really happy for you Mike. You will love having a quality bandsaw.
Thanks, it has made so many jobs so much easier 😀
Congratulations, Mike on your Great new addition to your workshop.
Thanks, it will be getting a lot of use 😊
Whoo hoo! Happy days! Very well demonstrated. Record Power machines seem very well designed for setting up, using and maintaining. This is looking to be on the same lines. Thanks Mike and well done for not gloating!
Haha thanks Rachel 😂
Hi Mike, what a nice piece of equipment. You explained and showed how to assemble the Sabre 300 Bandsaw very well. Also pointing out where to be aware when following the instructions. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one..⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Glad it was helpful Roy, next episode will be out this weekend 😀
Now I have bandsaw envy. I have 3 second hand bandsaws of varying sizes but nothing as fancy as that. Nice unit, Mike.
Thanks Shawn, it is pretty amazing! 😀
I appreciate your careful attention to the assembly instructions. A simple rule to always read and follow those instructions prevents a lot of headaches.
You are welcome! I have made far too many flatpacks not to follow 😀
Some people are theorists and must read the instructions first. Some are activists and just have to get stuck in. And then there are the pragmatists that grab the pack of elastoplast and a strong coffee before chopping into packing tape....😂
@@loopinnerthe Haha, I unfortunately generally fall into the last section
Congratulations on the new tool. Remember "He with the most tools wins". I hope you enjoy it.
Haha never heard that but sounds right to me 😀
Looks like a very nice bandsaw. Good that it came with magnetic switch. I had to upgrade my bandsaw switch from manual to magnetic.
I see some bandsaws with the slot facing forward and some with the slot on the side. Must be manufacturer preference. Mine is on the side. You did added the pin in the slot but did not mention why is it used. For your viewers, without the pin one side of the slot may be higher or lower than the other side. It is the nature of the casting. It was likely ground before the slot was machined. A local turning friend did not have the pin in her table and the two sides of the slot were out by about 1/16in. Her slot was on the side so the far side of the slot being a tad higher sometimes caused the wood to stop as she was cutting. After inserting the pin both sides of the slot are at the same level.
A long time ago I was at a woodworking show. Alex Snodgrass who works for Carter, the bandsaw accessory company, gave a demonstration on tuning the bandsaw. He has CZcams videos of the demonstration. Highly recommended.
A couple of his key items
a) The blade tracking should be so just behind the gullet is at the middle of the crown of the wheel.
b) Without using the fence, make a manual cut in a piece of scrap wood about 6in long. Cut as straight as you can by hand. About half way through stop the saw. Compare the line of the cut with the mitre slots. This is telling you how the saw is tracking. Setting the slots to be parallel with the blade is a static setup, but when the saw is rotating things can be very different.
I did this. I did not have sufficient movement in the bolts for the table to the trunnions. I had to also loosen the trunnions to get sufficient movement so that my saw will cut to be parallel to my mitre slots.
You will have a lot of fun with the new bandsaw. I know your old bandsaw was often not up to your needs.
Dave.
Thanks so much for the advice and tips Dave, these are very welcome! My old bandsaw was as close to useless as you could get lol. All the best, Mike
Beautiful machine. That will make a handy addition to the shop
Thanks Eric, I am one very happy boy 😀
Congratulations on the new tool.
I love it, thanks 👍
Thanks for upload Mike.
You're welcome 😁
What a nice new rig! Love my bandsaw! Have fun with it but be careful! Thanks Mike!
Thanks Brenda, will do I promise 😀
Wow Mike, what a great band saw! For it being a 12” it certainly has all the features of a much larger unit. Very nice! Congrats!🍾🎉
Thanks! for me it's a dream come true 😀
@@MikeHolton haha! That would be a dream come true for anybody’s shop! 😎
Awesome... Can't wait to see you work with it
It's an amazing machine 😄
Can't wait to see what you do with this saw.
I will be using it a lot, I have so many ideas 😀
A first class demo👏👏👏👏🤣💕🙏🇬🇧
Hope you enjoyed it! 😊
Hi Mike, some assembly required....always fun. Congrats and enjoy.
Haha thanks Will, I do love a flatpack 😀
Nice job with the explanations on set up and adjustments.
Glad you enjoyed it, took so long to film 😁
How fun is this?? Congrats on the new tool. Looking forward to seeing more amazing creations. Cheers!! 😊
Thanks Cynthia, this is going to get so much use 😀
Wow what a neat saw, nice colour, British racing green 😀
It sure is! 😊
Enjoy you new saw
Thanks, I am already 😀
Amazing machine, very happy for your new shop
Thank you very much! 😀
Congratulations on the new toy.
I love it 😊
Congrats on the new toy!
Thanks Alicia 😀
All I will say is , CONGRATULATIONS and I'm jealous !
Sorry John and thanks 😀
@@MikeHolton 😂😂😂😂
That’s a nice saw. Looks like you will be able to cut some fairly deep turning blanks with that. Enjoy!
Thanks, it has a 10" depth of cut which will do me just fine 😀
Thank you for the video!🍺
You're welcome 😀
Watching a tool review over breakfast, could it get any better. Nice sturdy bandsaw and a decent clearance for larger material. Slap a thin layer of wood wax on the steel table, makes feeding wood through a lot smoother. I do the same on the bed of my thickness planer. Have fun😊
Thanks Andy, I've put beeswax on there 😀
Very nice Mike... Now I'm jealous 😅😅😅..
A nice addition to your shop .. Congratulations..
Thanks! This is going to be so useful! 😀
Looks great Mike. Looks to have a really deep cut depth too, especially for a 12"... that'll be handy for resawing or cutting up big lumps!
Indeed it has about a 10" depth of cut 😀
wheeeee! new tools!!!!
I know, I'm a very happy boy 😀
New toys 😍 you so deserve nice things 😁
Thanks Troy, so nice of you to say 😀
wow now that is something else i worked in the woods for years and have a great respect for saws and wood if not watching it could cost you a body part enjoy
Thanks Debra, I will be very careful as I'm very attached to all my body parts 😀
Mike did you build it then build it again on camera. I reckon you did because you were aware of all the pitfalls. To be able to do that is a skill of immense patience. I couldn't imagine building and dismantling a piece of IKEA furniture...
Something occurred to me. Metalworking tools are made of metal, woodworking tools are mostly made of metal... but metal is made by burning coal (wood) and earth together, so it feels like a full circle. Poetry.
Thanks for making this, and for anyone that actually needs to assemble one of these it's going to be gold dust.
Are you going to be doing a, "how to unwind a new coiled-up blade, without it chopping your entire shop in half" video?
Haha so close to the truth, this was the process:
Read the instructions quickly....
Find the parts needed
Re read the instructions
Set up cameras
Start filming the section
Do two or three takes while I try to get the names of parts right and re re read instructions
Re do the take when I figure out I've made a mistake.
It too me a long time to make haha
I've heard the best way to unwind a blade is to throw it and run lol 😀
A good method for setting your upper and lower guides is to use dollar bill(pound note) wrapped from the sides of the blade and around the back. With the blade under correct tension close the guide against the pound note, tighten them and slide the blade up to remove the pound note.
Thanks, I may have to try that one 😀
Very nice. I look forward to part 2.
Glad you enjoyed it, part two is where the fun begins 😀
Nice looking saw !
Thanks 👍
Nice addition. 👍
This will be so useful! 😀
Looks like a nice piece of kit.
Thanks Mark. so far, I would have to agree 😀
Another nice bit of kit mike. I need one !! Plus a bigger garage to put it in 😊😊
Haha, thanks, all the best, Mike😀
A nice looking saw for a 10" model
it's 12" 😀
Very nice saw.
Thanks Matthew 😀
Hello, Mike! I bought a Xiaomi Android console and now they will follow your creations while sitting or lying on the couch! It's a shame you don't have 4K video yet.😄 With a great purchase!😉👌
Thanks, I am considering 4k, my cameras can handle it but the extra storage space required would be enormous. Each video would produce about 300-500gb of data.
@@MikeHolton I agree, this is a lot of volume! I can see the shavings in 1080p!😄
@TRUCKTUBEGAME Haha thanks 🤣
Very nice addition Mike.
Was just thinking, with your growing collection of equipment, you're going to have to expand your workshop 😂
Well deserved Mike.
Looking forward to part 2
Have a super weekend 🤗
Hahaha that's hilarious 😀 but probably true 😂 have a great weekend
@MikeHolton 🙃 Thanks Mike. Going to try and finish a puzzle I started some months ago and just haven't got around to, and maybe some painting.
But right now, relaxing with my coffee and reading lol. Great start to a Saturday methinks 😋
@@fionacrouch1732 Nice! I still need to start this weeks project lol so I have a bit to do. I only have a week of teaching left so after that I'll have a bit more free time 😀
@MikeHolton Your free time hopefully equals more content for us! Just putting it out there lol 😂
@@fionacrouch1732 I completely agree 😀
Congrats my friend
Thank you😃
Looks like a great saw. Looking forward to the next video to learn the specs. I’m thinking that you and I are wanting very similar specs.
Thanks Doug and I think so as well 😀
You lucky chap!!
I know Bob so lucky 😀
Happy to the new addition to the workshop. Congrats.
Thanks my friend 😀
And here comes 3 shed Mike as he needs more space to dry his fresh round sawn bowl blanks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍well done mate
Haha thanks Vini, between you and me I added a third shed a couple of weeks ago to house my ride on mower 😂
Excellent video, well done. One thing though, I didn't see an emergency stop button. As for protecting the bed, I use a machine wax , apply and buff. I also put some on the blade, power switched off turning the wheel by hand
Good tip! Thanks 👍
Wow Mike you moving on up with all the new equipment proud for you 👍👍👍
Thanks so much Jim 😁
Yay! Mike has a bandsaw.
I know and I'm so happy 😁
Now I want one! I hate changing blades as I struggle adjusting the guides and Record Power have put a lot of thought into designing ones that are bloody idiot proof. Just for me 🌞
Haha actually, I hate to disagree but I think the idiot proof ones were designed for me 😀
Thanks Mike. I have been waiting for this, I will be placing my order some time next week from Yandels. Every review I have read all say how good it is, can't wait.
They just emailed out an offer of a free training session, so don't delay your order too long!
It really is a beautiful machine, get some help putting it together or make a sledge like I had, it is very heavy!
I got that as well, I guess it's too late for me to get the offer lol 😀
@@MikeHolton Ask them, the worst they can do is say no. You could promise to film bits of it to show on the channel.
Meccano for grown ups 😊
haha I loved playing with Meccano as a kid 😀
Looks a great bit of kit mike I’ve only got there bs250 but works well for me .renaissance wax on the cast bed will really cut down the chance of rust👍
Thanks, I've been using beeswax 😁
"Their" not "there." They're looking for their car over there. 14:32
@@nickgov66 ?
@@MikeHolton it was a spelling correction to the previous comment.
Great addition to your shop I’ll be curious to see what you think of the original blade that comes with the machine as opposed to one you will ultimately end up with…
Thanks Ken, till will tell, Yandles have sent me a nice wide blade try out
Oh, that was so interesting. Will the saw be attached to the floor? Congrats on your newest shop addition.
No need, it will be on a wheel kit so can be moved easily if needed 😀
ps Have a great weekend with your family 🌞
Thank you Ray! You too! 😀
I have the original BS300, and was wondering how this new unit gets an extra 2 inches of depth of cut while using the same size blades and wheels. Cleverly, they have added a little plastic cap that allows the blade guide to move through the top case yet stay safe, which allows the deeper capacity. I'm tempted to upgrade: the built-in base cabinet is nice, as is the micro-adjustment, but that front bar for the fence sticks out way beyond the table, and I would be forever hitting myself on it in my small workshop.
I guess it would depend where it was placed and at what orientation, mine is now side on so hopefully I will not have that issue 😀
Great bit of kit, can I ask the size of your workshop to accommodate the machinery 😊
It does not take up that much space but my workshop is about 6m by 3m 😀
Hallo Mike. Ich habe erst vor drei Wochen die Sabre 250 bekommen. Und jetzt gibt es diese Sabre 300, das ist doch zum blöd das ein Händler einen nicht aufmerksam macht das eine etwas größere Maschine im Handel ist 😤 Dir viel Spaß mit der neuen Maschine 👍
Yes, it's not like it was just released either - I tracked down the manual on-line (I wanted to check the specs), and it is dated December 2023. So the dealer should have known this was coming.
Das ist eine Schande, Mike! Das ist mir auch schon einmal passiert!
Don’t think i ever have seen a bandsaw come shipped pre installed with a blade. Is it at least a good blade?
The blade is ok but I will be upgrading when it dulls 😀
👌👌
👍🙏
You managed the setup properly with the poor RP manual? You must be a genius
Haha thanks Kerstin, the manuals do need a bit of a makeover lol 😀
🤠
😁
Nice bandsaw!
How much American?
Hi Robbie, not quite sure, it will be hitting the shelves now. It's £999 in the UK
Your wife lets you get the coolest toys!
She is the most understanding wife ever!! 😀
I notice that you swear much less than I do when assembling heavy machinery, or perhaps that is where you use the speedups
Haha I did not swear that much actually, all went fairly well lol 😀
