Bandsaw bodgery
« on: September 05, 2012, 12:17:15 PM »
Hi
I have a small bandsaw from Warco.
After some fitting and faffing around I managed to get it working properly but the one thing that annoyed me was, it was not designed to shut off automatically.

1 hours bodging later and I had this,



The picture says it all really, all it needed was an M3 hole in the base to tether the bottom end of the cable and two holes drilled in the side of the switch box.
when the saw arm gets to the bottom the small bar is pulled down onto the off switch.
