The sidebearings (all 4) should be adjusted on the blade just before the bottom of the teeth. That way the blade will last much longer because the setting of the teeth won't be affected by the bearings. The blade is going to be much sharper for an longer time this way. The bottom of te teeth should be in the middle of the upper wheel aswell for the correct adjustment. That way the weel won't iterfear with the setting of the teeth so again your blade will last longer / stays sharper for a longer time. Its just 2 advices for having more fun sawing and using this bandsaw (and all other bandsaws)
Hello, I do not know when you purchased your saw. But, I was delivered the same BAS 261 which I bougth online secondhand. The date of production is 4/2021 and user manual¨s content regarding adjustment/tension of saw belt & thrust and guide bearings is satisfactory- Chapter 10 and its sub chapters. Cheers!
Hi Zlatko! Congratulations with your new saw. And it is nice to hear that the users manual has improved. Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting.
The laughter from your voice when you checked if the table was square made me smile and giggle so much it made my day I'm looking forward to purchasing one myself love your vids buddy 👊🏼
Super helpful video. What a massive upgrade from the 260 to the 261. I had the chance to buy a 260 2nd hand, but will definitely go looking for a 261 instead with the much improved fence and bearing guides. Thank you!
I've always found my bandsaw to be my most indispensable tool. Since its versatility is the greatest strength of the bandsaw, you probably shouldn't limit that by putting a big fat blade which is intended for resawing - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the cutting power of a narrower blade. And you're right, changing blades really holds up production - you'll have to remove your rip fence rail, reset all the guides and tension and maybe even check table squareness - so in my experience, pick a favourite blade and stick with it. And if anyone suggests a foolproof and speedy method for blade and table adjustment... let me know! Good vid mate, I enjoyed that from start to finish. Stay healthy!
Thanks for your tip, mate! From your videos I gather that you use your bandsaw a lot. So, I value your input a lot. And setting up machines is down there with sanding and sharpening for me... :D What TPI/width do you think would be good for this? Cheers, and hope your shoulder heals well.
Hi. Just unboxed and assembled this saw recently. With no guide I set the bearings so that they touched the blade. Once I started sawing some piece of wood, the machine started rumbling severely. After watching your video I am off to reset those bearings to leave a reasonable space between them and the blade. Thanks a lot bud!! 👍
If your machine is shaking I think you have more problems than the bearings being wrongly placed. The tightness of the blade needs to be just so as well. Try "running the saw" with your hand like I did then video and see if it tracks right. Let me know how it went after you adjusted the bearings.
@@NomadMakes Thanks for your response. Well, I just spent quite some time fiddling about with it. In the end I had to shift the base that holds the bottom 3 bearings right back by about 4 mm. Reason being that the two axial bearings were so much in front and even tilted down that they supported barely the teeth of the blade. Leaving the back half of the blade loose. Now, they are in the middle of the blade and level. I also had to move the holder of the sawing table to the right because the blade wasn't running in the middle of the gap. These proceedings resulted in repeated positioning of the bearings also top ones, also because I watched the slant of the top wheel and of course taunted the blade. All in all the side bearings aren't touching anything now, the back support bearings are - just about, the blade is stretched right I believe and the saw is running like a dream now..
Hei! Tenker å kjøpe en båndsag etter å ha forsøkt «resawing» av eik for hånd😅 Har du gjort dette med saga og hvordan gikk det evt? Har du også funnet noen nye sagblad som du nevner i videoen? Ser for meg noe med laver tpi enn standard. Takk på forhånd, veldig god video!
Hei Jonas. Dette er ikke sagen for «resawing» av eik. Til det er den alt for svak. Da må du opp til minimum en Record Sabre av noe slag. Du kan se meg rippe noe 25mm eik i denne videoen: Scandinavian Furniture Design - Credenza - Cutting and Milling to S4S EP02 [0080] ruclips.net/video/FhfCq8BA45I/видео.html Så kan du tenke deg når du skal resawe.
I've just noticed between 2.10 and 2.40 you can clearly see the base of the bandsaw sitting on your bench, you have a small piece of wood under the rear corner, ?? Is your base plate pissed, bent , not straight (whatever) ive just bought this machine and mine is nowhere near straight/level to my bench, it rocks like mad, I thought it might have been dropped but looking at yours they could just be poorly made, but I've decided I'll bolt it down with some heavy duty bolts probs about 10mm hopefully that will pull it straight just curious what yours is like
Yeah. I thought mine was dropped as well at some point. Only reason I didn’t return it is because it spent a few months in my basement before I opened it. I have bolted mine to bench. This machine is very much on the cheap and cheerful side of the quality spectrum. But I have been able to get quite a lot done on on despite it’s shortcommings. Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting.
This saw is notoriusly difficult to set up since the top wheel is fixing is not very ridgid. Also be aware that you may get some drift following the grain. Do you still get drift while doing crosscuts? Also, may I suggest checking out videos on how to set up bandsaws properly? Cheers and thanks for watching.
@@NomadMakes yes i buy new blade for Metabo 261 and still was drifting the Wood to left side so i send the Saw back.i think tere was som thing róm wiht the saw.i dont have the Saw.
Hi there! I ordered this bandsaw and now I want to build a stand to it so I just can place it there. But I would like to know the dimensions of the "base plate". There are no dimensions for that in the manual. Could you help me with that?
Hi, Not really. It is vastly underpowered. Really hard to tune. And I suspect the metal plate the upper wheel is fixed to flexes. Also the tightening mechanism for the blade is weak and the tracking changes when you tighten the blade.
@@NomadMakes thanks for both the reply and your honesty. I know that feeling of buyers regret when you wish you had just payed a bit more for the better option. 😢
@jrumbel The problem with these small saws is that they are mostly the same rebranded machine. So paying a bit more may not get you any better machine. Anyways, this was a cheap way of learning what to look for in my next bandsaw. And as such, it may save me money in the future.
Its all about where you use it for. These machines are at the bottom of the market and so only to be used for light work. Ripping 4 inch beams.....its just to much. This machine though has a great qaulity for its price (bought the BAS261 for 275,-- euro today). Brands like Parkside, Holzmann and Scheppach are crap compared with the Metabo 261and costs about the same. I geuss you have to sell this one and buy a 13 inch bandsaw. Could be a Metabo 316, record Power 350 Sabre or some other quality product like the Makite LB1200F. Machines that have more power and are to be used for more heavy stuff. They will cost something arround 700 euro. These are the ones direct above the 261 categorie. And from there is goes up and up.
Yeah. I have been considering a saw in the 13-15 inch range. One is a Sabre and the other is a Jet. Completely different machines. But that is a while in the future. For now this saw actually gets the job done. Believe it or not. I do my rewsawing on the cabinet saw though :-)
I'm unboxing mine just now and I'm so glad you posted this video! Straight away I'm like "how on earth does the table lock down"? And yes of course, the manual is of no use at all! Good man!
The one behind the blade? I believe that called a thrust bearing, and I have seen them placed both ways. On this saw it is placed radially towards the saw blade, and you cannot easily change it. I do not know if either of them has any benefits over the other. Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting.
I’ve used these: www.ebay.com/itm/153560640079?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DanJa4WuSt6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=WDH1XQBOT5a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hi! What I have done is generally used a smaller blade on it. However i keep a ripping blade in backup. Nice edit by the way ;-) Your new question is easier to answer. Most of the saws in this price range is for all intents and purposes the same saw. They are all OEM saws with different colors and sometime slight changes. So, I have not come across any saws in this price bracket that have made me regret the purchase. That being said the saw has some severe flaws. The main one being that it is not stiff enough, since the wheels are attached to the steel plate of the back rather than the frame. This makes the saw very hard/impossible to set up correctly. But if this is your first bandsaw, this is a very cheap way of learning about the tool. And it can do basic bandsaw tasks. The main problem is really that you need to spend quite a lot more to get a decent saw.

I have the same but I can't cut straight with this machine i followed all the recommended setting but still not cutting straight? Can you advise please
@@NomadMakes I tried this trouble shooting Yesterday and I noticed some improvement but still have an off set of 2 mm cutting peice of 200 mm means the error is not acceptable for me .another point I noticed that the tighten setting proposed by the constructor is not accurate according to the blad width which make me confused 🤔 does this have sense?!
Hi again Omar! I did not follow the instructions while setting up the saw. I followed the «Snodgrass method». If the amount of drift is constant, you can adjust the fence accordingly. But with a bandsaw the blade will to some extent follow the grain of the wood.
Hei! Jeg har kappet mye eik med denne sagen. 25mm. Men brukte et veldig grovt blad. Denne sagen har ikke noe sterk motor, men for denne størrelsen sager er det få som har noe bedre.
Veldig greit instruksjon du hadde laga👍 valget va lett etter æ leste på trehobby gruppa ang saga. MEN et lite spørsmål, har du funne ut ka den stanga bak på motoren e tel🙄?
Tenker du på den som kan trekkes ut? Det er en uttrekkbar støtte sånn at sagen kan brukes uten å boltes fast. Ikke at jeg vil abefale det. Har festet min med klemmer midlertidig til jeg får laget en egen vogn til den.
Got the saw home yesterday, so hopefully i can start using it this weekend. How big workshop do you have? Sqm? Im abit torn in what to do, i need to find a compromise about hopefully get the car in the garage, permanente place for saws ( maybe a moving table) and setting up a more mechanical workspace.
@@simeeen88 My workshop is 2,7 x 4,5 m so 1,2 ish m2. And the entrance is down a stair and a tight hallway. But I know guys that have smaller shops and get by, they have the ability to work a bit outside tough, and for me that is impossible, as this is in the middle of town. May I suggest you put all your machines on casters/on benches with casters? That works for me.
Need your help guys.. is there anybody here have used Metabo BAS 505 g? How is it? Is it a good machine? Tried to search for any review in YT but im unfortunate to find one.. thanks in advance for the answer..
The google translation is a bit strange. But I think you are asking why the blade slows down under load. This is because the motor is very weak. This saw is best suited for lighter work.
@@NomadMakes спасибо за ответ. Google переводит ужасно. Но вы меня поняли правильно. Пила доску толщиной в дюйм пилит очень плохо. Буду решать эту проблему. 🤝
Okay, taking 4 bolts OFF the table trunnion in order to fix the trunnion with ONE bolt to the saw and then have to jiggle about to get those 4 bolts back in was a bit weird ;)
@@NomadMakes I'm just being funny, I can imagine the table needed some tweaking. I have failed royally setting up my own bandsaw with an undertensioned blade but I absolutely love using it.
Love the styrofoam that comes with these machines... NOT. 😂 But this machine is a beauty.! One tip i have is, check your bandsaw blade for little cracks on the front side between the teeth. The one that came with my machine had many cracks and ripped soon after 😄
Yeah, that styrofoam is not pleasant to get rid of either. Thanks for the tip regarding the blade. I plan to get a general purpose blade as soon as I figure out the TPI and width I want. So the factory blade is not staying on for long. Cheers, and thank for watching and commenting.
@@NomadMakes i dont have an all purpose blade, i have a thin 6tpi one which is 6mm deep and a more agressive 4tpi one which is 12mm deep. Im happy with these two. Amd dont really mind swapping them out sometimes
Did the ear protection work that well? :D You can hear the saw for a few seconds, but then the shopvac and air scrubber chimes in. So, I had to lower the volume in the video. Cheer, and thanks for watching and commenting.
@@NomadMakes Ha. .Ha ,like your sense of Humour. i have lot of Norwegian friends here in italy. Did you try to rip cut some hard wood? actually i am planning to buy this For Guitar building over italian brand DOMATO.I don't know which one to choose.
Do not buy the nuendo earplugs! I'm a musician and have owned 2 pairs. The first pair fell apart in the plastic after using them about 5 times. I got a pair of new ones that was supposed to be upgraded, but the same thing happened to them. The idea is great but they are crap quality i'm afraid (and expensive). But I liked this video for the Metabo :) Thanks.

Weird to see the top blade guide bearing isn't sideways, is that an option or is it always like this?

Hva skjer når bladet «sklir/hopper av det øverste hjulet når jeg tester ved å snurre det? Selv når det er strammet.

@@NomadMakes jeg skal kappe 28mm terrassebord 🙂 men da i en bue for å få litt mer fasong på noen hagemøbler 🙂
Det klarer denne sagen fint. Men du må nok ha litt tolmodighet.
Du kan også sjekke Alex Snodgrass sine videoer for båndsag tuning. Går ganske dypt i materien.
Takk for tipset :D Jeg skal sjekke videoene hans.
Nice👍👍👍👍 Greats from Colonge 😊 😊 👍
Thank you :D Thanks for watching and commenting, and hope to see you back in the comments ;-) Cheers.
Gratulere med nytt leketøy.
Bra og underholdene video :)
Takker! Kjekt at du stakk innom :D
Need your help guys.. is there anybody here have used Metabo BAS 505 g?
How is it? Is it a good machine? Tried to search for any review in YT but im unfortunate to find one.. thanks in advance for the answer..
I have never tried that spesific saw, no.
Takk for god introduksjon! 🙂👍19
Danke fürs Zuschauen und Kommentieren!

Hello, are those woodpecker tools in cm ?
Yes, they are. They had both metric and imperial versions on their website.
@@NomadMakes DAMN IT, i dont have the option to order from them in my country :(. Thanks for the reply and review!
Me neither. I had to order using a forwarding service.
Здравствуйте, подскажите почему лента тормозит при нагрузки
The google translation is a bit strange. But I think you are asking why the blade slows down under load.
This is because the motor is very weak. This saw is best suited for lighter work.
@@NomadMakes спасибо за ответ. Google переводит ужасно. Но вы меня поняли правильно. Пила доску толщиной в дюйм пилит очень плохо. Буду решать эту проблему. 🤝
I am glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting.
May I also suggest you get a ripping blade. Look for a low TPI number. That relieves some of the stress from the motor.
Okay, taking 4 bolts OFF the table trunnion in order to fix the trunnion with ONE bolt to the saw and then have to jiggle about to get those 4 bolts back in was a bit weird ;)
Well… It’s not a very high quality saw :-D
@@NomadMakes I'm just being funny, I can imagine the table needed some tweaking. I have failed royally setting up my own bandsaw with an undertensioned blade but I absolutely love using it.
Ah… I misunderstood. The video is a bit old, so I don’t really remember how I did it. Thanks for watching and commenting by the way :-D
Wat moet dat gekke poppetje daar steeds ??????
That is Baby Vader. He is the workshop overseer :-D Cheers and thanks for watching.
Love the styrofoam that comes with these machines... NOT. 😂 But this machine is a beauty.! One tip i have is, check your bandsaw blade for little cracks on the front side between the teeth. The one that came with my machine had many cracks and ripped soon after 😄
Yeah, that styrofoam is not pleasant to get rid of either. Thanks for the tip regarding the blade. I plan to get a general purpose blade as soon as I figure out the TPI and width I want. So the factory blade is not staying on for long. Cheers, and thank for watching and commenting.
@@NomadMakes i dont have an all purpose blade, i have a thin 6tpi one which is 6mm deep and a more agressive 4tpi one which is 12mm deep. Im happy with these two. Amd dont really mind swapping them out sometimes
@@mathiashesshermida9647 I might get a detail blade like that as well.
after you put your ear protection, i can't hear anything ,bandsaw is completely silence.
Did the ear protection work that well? :D
You can hear the saw for a few seconds, but then the shopvac and air scrubber chimes in. So, I had to lower the volume in the video. Cheer, and thanks for watching and commenting.
@@NomadMakes Ha. .Ha ,like your sense of Humour. i have lot of Norwegian friends here in italy. Did you try to rip cut some hard wood? actually i am planning to buy this For Guitar building over italian brand DOMATO.I don't know which one to choose.
I have not tried ripping hardwood with it yet. I generally do that on my table saw. However, the motor on this saw is not very powerful...
@@NomadMakes Thanks for the heads up.. Greetings.
Happy to help ;-)
Do not buy the nuendo earplugs! I'm a musician and have owned 2 pairs. The first pair fell apart in the plastic after using them about 5 times. I got a pair of new ones that was supposed to be upgraded, but the same thing happened to them. The idea is great but they are crap quality i'm afraid (and expensive). But I liked this video for the Metabo :) Thanks.
I’m sad to hear that you had a bad experience with the ear plugs. But of course happy that you liked the video :-) Cheers and thanks for watching.
The box is the only quality part of this purchase.
Hehe! The box was actually damaged… :-D
Nevaljaaa to nistaaa.. ubrzati video ispadne da moze pilat..
Hi! I am sorry, but the goolge transation of this makes no sense. Thanks for watching and commenting anyway. Cheers.
