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!

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.

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 S. , RV-6A ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:06:34 PM PST US From: "Kyle Boatright" Subject: Re: RV-List: band saw 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.

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.

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. Dennis Glaeser ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 09:09:47 PM PST US From: Dave Cudney Subject: Re: RV-List: band saw 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 (RV 7A, will be starting on the cowling soon) On Jul 21, 2007, at 8:13 PM, Dale Mitchell wrote: > > 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. > http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/about/cities.html > Dale > > > --- sarg314 wrote: > > >> >> >> My ten year old old Sears bench-top 10" band saw >> seems to have died. >> The motor controller is dead.

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.
