English Wheel & Bandsaw


I will need a metal cutting bandsaw to cut out the shapes from the 3mm 5083 aluminum sheet, i already have a wood cutting bandsaw the only difference being the blade speed, so all i need do is gear down the blade to about 1/3rd the speed so im going to cast up a bigger pully to slip over the original fit a longer belt and a metal cutting blade and its job done.

for the next stage of the build i will need the english wheel and a metal cutting bandsaw, so as privously mentioned i will be makeing a wheeling machine from the frame of an old potters wheel im planing on useing the brake drum and stub axel from a Saab 96 pictured.
