The bandsaw blade that came with the saw was very poor, I bought a good bimetal blade and put it in. I started cutting parts for the traction bar.



This is the cross bar

This is the side bracket and both pieces will make the cross member for the front of the traction bar



Two piece for the front shackle

 

This bandsaw works pretty good with a good saw blade (click on the pic to play the video)




Set it to cut and then get some other things done and let it do it's thing

 

im definatly getting me one of those band saws,pretty good deal from harbor freight!! i figured it would come with a cheap band,but,thats easily fixed...

 

Mmmm that shop of yours is just amazing! Cant wait to see more progress on the traction bar!

 

Looking goodie mang!!

 

Got my 240 volt plug for theplasma cutter today and rewired it, tomorrow I'll cut the pieces for the axle mount.

 

I cut out the axle mounts for the traction bar


It was getting dark and hard to see, do I'm going to recut one of the mounts

I also got the vise mounted to a brake rotor so it can be moved around

 

I finished the axle mounts


Even got my wife involved, she was having fun

 

Did she want to play too?

Yeah, I know, power tools are hard to resist.

 

Ya, she wanted to play with three power tools
