Subject: Re: [TailwindForum] Leaving for Boo!!
Hello to everyone!
i am in Dallas for the week and will be going to OSH Sat and Sun.
i came across this on the Luscombe forum that may be of interest to
George;
Dennis in Dallas
I tried to send this yesterday, but apparently it didn't take.
The EAA put up wireless in the campgrounds this year, and one of the
antennas is pointing right at me sitting here at the intersection of
runways 9-27 and 13-31 at Oshkosh. If you're coming, bring your
laptop and WiFi card for free internet.
I've seen just two Luscombes so far. Jim Zazas's, which I think gets
here in June, and a nice cream and blue with square tail and wheelpants.
I had lunch yesterday at the volunteer kitchen with a nice gent who's
volunteering in Vintage who has owned 7 Luscombes (currently an 8-A
with flaps - !) and has restored a half-dozen for other people. He
lives a short walk from Gar Williams in Illinois. Unfortunately I
didn't get his name...
Anyway, so far so good up here in sunny Oshkosh!
Cheers,
Garrett

I'll be leaving for Boo early in the morning (Friday). The weather
looks great, I wish I were flying. I'll be bringing my son this year.
See you all Friday evening.

Free internet? At OSH? EAA? Boy, those things don't go together.
That must have been a MAJOR oversight by the EAA Revenue Committee. Oh
well, they'll fix that next year.

My ten year old old Sears bench-top 10" band saw seems to have died.
The motor controller is dead. Sears can't replace it. It was a useful
saw because it was variable speed and could cut wood and aluminum.
I'm having trouble locating a comparable band saw. Sears doesn't sell a
metal band saw for less than $1000. Does any one know of a small, cheap
(= a lot less than $1000) metal band saw?
Thanks,

Tom,
Any woodworking bandsaw should be able to cut aluminum, as long as the blade
is fine enough.
Home Depot has a $100 (or thereabouts) tabletop model that might suffice for
your needs.
They also have a very nice $275 floor (15", I think) model that I purchased
to replace my Sears 10" variable speed saw when the motor controller went
bad. ;-)
For steel, I purchased a Harbor Freight metal cutting bandsaw. Cheap, but
effective for the small amount of steel I cut.

I bought a Delta Band Saw from Lowe's a year ago and it has done an acceptable
job. It's not variable speed, but I do use a metal cutting blade on it. For
the money, I would probably buy it again.

If it's only the controller that's died, just replace it with another
speed controller. Depending on the motor type you can use a heavy duty
light dimmer if it's a TRIAC type, rather than the more common SCR type
or Harbor Freight sells a speed controller for a router but it may only
be for a brush-type motor.

Any wood cutting band saw will cut aluminum but the
blade runs to fast for steel.
Sears has one for around $325.00 that would work fine
fore aluminum.
Or look on craigs list for a used one.

Whatever band saw you end up with, get a bi-metalic blade for it to cut
metal. I get them from a local tool supply shop (custom made to any
length), but you can also get them from McMaster Carr. The wood cutting
blades are OK for a while if you are only cutting aluminum sheet. They wear
out rather quickly cutting any thick stuff. The bi-metalic blades cut the
thick stuff no problem and last quite a while.

Four years ago I purchased a small variable speed band saw from
Harbor Freight for about $60. It works great with a 1/4 inch blade
with 14 teeth per inch. Trouble is the machine is made such that it
won't work with a blade thicker than 0.015 inches. Although I
bought several blades with the saw, I am now on my last one.
Harbor freight no longer stocks these band saw nor the blades. I
have not been able to fine a blade that thin or have one made here in
southern CA. I also had no luck on the internet. Most common band
saw blades for small band saws are 0.025 - 0.030 inches thick. Last
month I purchased a Sears single speed 10 inch bad saw for $149 and
had several blades made up for it at a local shop. It seems to work
fine for aluminum, But I still like the old Harbor Freight saw --
just couldn't find any blades for it. I think with the next batch of
blades I have made up I'll try 18 teeth per inch for a smoother cut
as the sears blade turns somewhat slower than the old machine.
good luck
Dave

Any way to bypass the controller altogether and just wire it direct to the
motor?

Got our Royla for $100 range (spelling ?) at Home Depot. With several blades we
have cut stainless, aluminum, and wood up to 2X4 size. 59 1/2 blades are not
easy to find BUT we buy two of each. Working great for better than two years.

Was at OSH 2004 and "they" had a tent set up with PC's. Had to sign in, wait your
turn & there was a time limit (never saw it enforced) but it was FREE. Kinda
like using the "bathroom(s)" and showers, wait your turn & hurry up every chance
you get. FREE charging stations for cameras, radio's, shavers etc. GREAT
Show, great people (for the most part), lots of help if you needed it,
BUT there are those who will WHINE, and imagine how many more whinners there would
be if everything were free. Fee's do have the effect of reducing those that
feel they entitled to everything.
For those have not yet tried to put on a AIRSHOW themselves, get your feet wet
FIRST and tell me about how much "FREE" stuff you pay for. Start with insurance
& work your way down the list. KABONG Do Not Archive
