Default Re: Help with a bandsaw

The dimmer switch sounds interesting, but is it a regular light dimmer? Seems that wouldn't be able to handle a motor.

I'm no bandsawologist, but from what I gathered, the blade moves too fast, which cutting thinner metal somewhat proves to me because then it goes nice and straight.
I did play around with adjusting the blade and double checking setup procedure according to the manual for an hour plus when I went up and got a thinner piece of metal which it cut nice and straight through.
I don't remember the thicknesses, but lets say 1/16 and 1/32.
I'm thinking too I should forget about steel and just cut alu on this, but I would really like to be able to cut 1/16 steel.
