Bandsaw Restoration
This series of pages describes the process I went through (over the course of a couple of months) to restore my bandsaw. The photo on the left shows what it looked like before I started and the photo on the right shows the end result.
I've split the description of the restoration project into a number of parts; these are linked below. The sections of the restoration aren't strictly in the order in which I did the various jobs; I've tried to describe each part of the restoration on its own page, so some sections include work that was done after much later sections (e.g. assembly of a part onto the bandsaw being described before I've described assembly of the saw itself).
