This small bandsaw does not have much power, but may be used to cut soft metals. As it has rarely been used and we have a horizontal bandsaw now, we might transform it into a belt sander.
The blade guides are very simple, just consisting of two pins for the sides and a bearing for the back of the blade. We should turn an eccentric bearing mount to increase their lifetime (by default, the blade runs too close to the center of the bearing).
Please refer to the proper blade-guide distances explained in our bandsaw introduction, NOT the ones from the manual!
