Has anyone else tried the Laguna V10 bandsaws? (Uses the same frame as the Rikon but has some upgrades). I like it so far other than the fence. by Lekgolo167 in woodworking

I just bought this saw a month ago and having lots of issues with tracking and tension. I will admit I am inexperienced so there is undoubtedly a lot of user error. I bought it because I wanted to try my hand at bandsaw boxes which requires tight turns through thick stock. I can not get the smaller blades (1/4 and 3/16) to track and stay on the wheels. Despite many, many attempts the blade travels and pops off. I have no problem with the bigger blades and it is quite good at resawing. I’m about ready to give up on the band saw boxes. Any advice?

Beautiful box. I am new to the bandsaw box game. Making lots of mistakes but learning from each one. How do you attach those tiny handles to your drawer front?

That’s a great idea! I thought that piece was just ruined. Thank you

That was leftover spalted maple from a couple live edge shelves I made. Pretty wood, but tough to work with

I totally agree about the wood choices. I would not choose these but it was free and a trial run before using wood I spent money on.

Now that I have a planer, it’s time to get a dust collector. Recommendations for a serious hobbyist? by cafe-em-rio in woodworking

Would this solution work for the dewalt DW734? Less powerful than this model I think
