I appreciate the TWO symphonies here. One is the music, and the other symphony is the artful work you do, Your channel is a 2 for 1 channel. Thank You for showing us the way. Both very beautiful.
This is just wonderful work, I appreciate people who design build and use their own tools. They have that special quality and sentimental value that will make you use them with care and a sense of accomplishment. Parts always turn out nicer if the tool itself is a work of art :D Thanks for sharing, keep up the wonderful work!
Your channel is criminally under-subscribed. The care and attention to detail is wonderful. I have seen so many little tips and tricks used in just this video alone that I can barely hope to remember them all!
Michel Your designs are very clever and well thought out. I know some may be put off by some of the machining required. You amaze me that such a small mill can make all the parts. I am really enjoying making mine. I just made the table and guides and was really delighted that the dovetail fits well without slop. I had never cut dovetails before but really had little problem. Enjoyable few hours in the workshop. John
Hi John, How nice that you have started the construction and that it is going well! I hope that you will also enjoy the rest of the construction. In the meantime I use the band saw often and am happy every time with a nice straight cut and even happier with the absence of a tired arm.
Amazing work! thank you for sharing. coincidentally, I’m in the process of building a band saw myself. I’ve been thinking about an automatic feed as well. However, I wonder: what do you think of using a constant pressure mechanism instead of a motor as you were eluding to? Something like an gaz spring with a clutch to engage it. I’m afraid the motor would make it harder to set the feed, particularly in case of round stock for instance where the cutting width varies as you go along. That would result either in too much wear of the blade or rubbing. A constant pressure is basically letting the saw decide the feed, within a certain range that is, isn’t it?
Ah, nice! I suppose it's a tad bigger than mine? Constant pressure, regardless of the thickness of the material to be sawn, can lead to tooth breakage in thin workpieces (after all, the pressure per tooth increases when less teeth are engaged). So you will have to achieve an adjustable pressure, low pressure for thin objects and higher pressure for thick objects. And so the problem with the round or odd shaped material remains basically the same. For this reason I think I will forego an power feed. Even though I can continuously adjust the feed rate to the thickness of the workpiece, even during sawing. Such a provision is especially desirable for thick workpieces where sawing can take a very long time. I think I will rarely use it, and would rather opt for the manual control and the associated "Fingerspitzengefühl". I have now made a manual fine adjustment for the cross slide with which I can also achieve the low feed rate required for thick workpieces quite accurately.
@@Michel-Uphoff Yes a tad bigger indeed! I was originally going for a very similar design as yours but then i figured i had two weels of 400mm i could modify easily for it. So i ended up with a bigger band saw. Coincidentally, rotary smp put a video out the same day in which he shows the automatic feed of his doall bandsaw. It works with constant pressure in fact (a dead weight) but it is adjustable through a balancing mechanism. So in any case you gotta « feel » the feed pressure (i guess « hear » would be correct). Then the motor solution makes a lot of sense, allowing to adjust the feed on the fly very easily. I might then go for this solution, as I would really appreciate it for bigger stock, which wouldn’t fit in my vertical circular saw. Thank you for the explanations!

And thank you for the compliment 🙂

Thank you!
I totally agree with that. I can only guess at the reason. I think:
1- Not USA
2- Not EGO
3- Content precedes appearances

Hi John,

This is going to be a beautiful tool, you will be enjoying working with it in the future a lot. Bravo!
I was wondering what (if) you would be adding a guide of some sort. My curiosity is now satisfied. Excellent work.
Nice work Michel, Well done!!
And nice to see some of your previous "tooling projects" being utilised.
Thanks Colin
Parabens! adimiro muito seu trabalho!!!!
Muito obrigado!

Where did you buy the dovetail cutter?
Hope this links works in your country: nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002760300372.html
Otherwise do a Google search for: Tooleye dovetail milling cutter
Yes it does, thank you very much!@@Michel-Uphoff
