UJK Bandsaw Buddy

Product Information

The problem with the design is that the top of the plate has unnecessary recesses milled through the middle. With its graceful curves, cabriole legs, and ornamental back splat, a Queen Anne side chair is a bucket list build for many woodworkers. It’s often overlooked, but a critical step in setting up a bandsaw is adjusting the table parallel with the blade.

Making a cut parallel to the blade keeps the blade from tending to torque to the side, resulting in tight and smooth saw kerfs. I realize that this set of steps is meant for resaw bandsaw setup, but the steps have always resulted in everything being setup properly including both the blade squareness to the table and the slot. it should be a cheap and easy thing to make from a piece of flat scrap MDF, masonite, perspex etc and a rare earth magnet or two.

And not in the hands of the 3D printing or software giants who own the competing platforms and exploit the designs for their own commercial interests.For aligning the fences for parallel cuts, the 250 mm long Bandsaw Buddy is attached to the saw band via integrated magnets, and serves as an extension of the saw band width. The Bandsaw Companion tool answers how to get the blade, miter slot, and fence parallel to each other to eliminate drift.

Which further led to the discovery of an out of round/ out of balance lower wheel as evidenced by carefully holding a soapstone to it inside and outside (NO BLADE! or wider works best), loosen the table bolts (keep one snug as a pivot point), and align the blade and miter slot using a finely graduated ruler.

There are many opinions on this subject but there are also objective facts and laws of physics/geometry that can't be ignored. Read more about the condition Brand New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable).

It is square to the table and to the slot (which for resawing probably isn't essential, only for other rips). The length of the Companion greatly exaggerates the path of the blade, making it much easier to measure its relationship with the miter slot. The Bandsaw Buddy simplifies this - two rare earth magnets hold the tool firmly on the blade, with an additional recess for the set of the teeth, providing a true reading off the blade. I don't know it is kinda hard to explain but it has to do with the fact that they are sorta like dogs. If you set your saw up properly in the first place, you effectively eliminate the need for all those gadgets.
