I like the Stearman gauge but have rejected it for this reason.

My Stearman gauge was mounted just forward of the front windscreen. If I were
to use the magnetic unit I would like to use the existing fitting which is
welded into the tank bottom. It is a 3/4" female NPT. There is about 4-3/4 "
inside the tank at that point ( I will have to take an exact measurement. If an
adapter is used,there may be a bit more clearance at the top. Do you believe
my existing Stearman mount could be used ? Don

I was given some old magazines, and found an article on Hipec from the
early 80's, it is shown in Hipec advertising from 2003, still original
covering and paint. A pal came up with a great idea, we are going to
rig a test section, and mount it on a luggage reack on his truck, and
abuse it to death, inlcuding making rips and tears, and see if we can
get the fabric to ballon and part company. From the static test pieces
I have seen, I doubt we will be able to cause separation without
destroying the wood. We will also make a test rib, and try to pull it
apart and measure the force required.
Surprised the Jodel didn't go with ribstitching, as they do recommend it
for wingloading in excess of 8-9 lbs.

Chris,
I know you asked about slowing down the bandsaw. I thought I would add a possible
alternative. Use it as is. I have the same bandsaw. I wanted to get started
on cutting out metal fittings. I just used the wood cutting blade that was
on it at the time. I was shocked when it worked. I have since cut ALL of
my metal fittings using the band saw at full speed with either a wood cutting
blade or a metal cutting blade. I look back now and wonder why I wasted time
trying to figure out how to make something to slow it down. The only caution
I give is to make sure the saw is cleaned out after cutting wood and before cutting
metal. Otherwise the sparks from cutting metal might cause a fire with
the sawdust.
Hope this helps someone.
Ted

Hi all,
I have an older style (more like old) 80" Sears bandsaw. Has anyone been able
to figure out how to slow down this perticular band saw so it can cut metal?
I have been trying to figure out how to add a "jack shaft" and a pully to gear
it down but I can't figure out how to do it with the way the motor is mounted
under the table. So, if anyone else has this saw I'd apreciate suggestions.
Thanks
Chris T.
