UJK Bandsaw Buddy

Product Information

The Companion is also an accurate rule, has a sliding stop for setting distances, and can be used as a beam for scribing circles. There are many opinions on this subject but there are also objective facts and laws of physics/geometry that can't be ignored. As best I can tell, they sit on the bandsaw behind the teeth, so removing any inaccuracy of a square running acros the blade and the offset of the teeth. Perhaps you’re looking for a quick way of marking bowl blanks, or maybe you want precise, wafer thin veneers for that furniture project. The holes along the length are simply an easy way of drawing circles at set radii and nothing to do with the aligning of the blade.

If you set your saw up properly in the first place, you effectively eliminate the need for all those gadgets. WORD OF MOUTH: Invite your friends to come, discover the platform and the magnificent 3D files shared by the community! The Bandsaw Companion tool from iGaging has two rare earth magnets on one side, which attach it firmly to the blade, best on 1/2″ and wider blades.When you first adopt them they can be kind of angry and/or scared but with a little love they begin to open up and do what you ask of them.

Compact band saw for curved contours, straight cuts, for cutting to length, separating and parallel cutting. Its a good useful thing for quickly sticking it down at whatever distance off the blade for when I want to cut multiple lengths of dowel or pegs . long aluminum rule with four rare-earth magnets fastened to one side and a space next to the magnets for the bandsaw’s blade. Once the blade is running parallel with the fence and by extension the niter slot, you can use other fixtures and sleds with better accuracy.

As mentioned, blade wear or use beyond the reliable life of the cutter will result in tracking issues and there are all sorts of ways (including an expensive fence) to handle that until your new blade arrives. The table adjustment procedure is to loosen not remove these bolts, tap the table into the desired alignment position with a mallet, then tighten the bolts.

I realize that this set of steps is meant for resaw bandsaw setup, but the steps have always resulted in everything being setup properly including both the blade squareness to the table and the slot. Instead I use Cadter's MagFence which allows me to lock the fence down exactly where I want it with the 2 integral magnets.
