Spent about 4 or 5 hours on modifying my bandsaw. It now has top and bottom roller bearing guides and a fence.
The top guide fit without modification. The bottom one required a bracket to be welded on. That went pretty well.
The fence required more drastic mods. I had to take the rable off and cut about 20mm off the front and back. Then I welded a 5mm x 50mm bar across the front and back for the fence to bolt on to.
Went much better than I expected.
Only problem I have found is I mis calculated for the bolt holes for the fence, and I cant quite adjust it to zero, misses by about 1mm. Tomorrow I will slot the holes a bit, that will fix that.
The fence doesnt have a drift adjustment but I can add rhat in very easily. I am going to do a few trials before I do that.
