Bill, I have the Ryobi 9" bandsaw from Home Depot. It ran about $120. It works
fine but at times I wish it had a deeper throat. The trick is in the blade. If
I remember correctly, Home Depot only sells two blades, both intended for wood.
The finest, it may be a 16 tooth/inch, is adequate for aluminum but it dulls
instantly on steel. The great thing about Home Depot is their return policy.
Leland
Expecting a Catto 3-blade prop Saturday
"It seems the old bandsaw I had been using might have finally bit the
dust. It was a cheap 14" saw my brother gave me but was variable speed
and worked great for cutting aluminum. The problem is the company that
built it is no longer around so parts may not be available.
With the thought that I may have to replace it in mind, I would like to
solicit some recommendations from my fellow builders.
What bandsaw would you recommend for cutting aluminum."

there was a short thread a couple of months ago about mounting the Dynon pitot
bracket. I was not clear on the suggestions and haven't been able to noodle through
the process on my own. The hole called out on the plans is drilled, but
it seems problematic to mount the dynon pitot there. Help

I bought a Delta with a 9" throat from Lowes, around $99. They have a 18TPI
blade that cuts like a hacksaw - great for metal. The depth of the throat
isn't as big of an issue as I thought, with some planning it doesn't cause a
problem.

Check the archives, keywords "gress" "pitot" "Dynon". The thread should be
there...no one uses "do not archive" on their posts to weed out the chatter.
If I remember correctly the problem was at the Gress mount and the Dynon
Pitot head juncture. The pre drilled holes in the relief on the pitot head
did not allow edge clearance on the Gress mast. Some carried the relief
further down on the pitot head to get the pitot head holes further away from
the head. If I remember correctly the recommended fix from Gress/Dynon is to
ignor the holes in the Pitot head and make new ones in the places you need
to to allow for edge clearance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (it won't be
the first time).
Ralph Livermore, Wings ... Fuse should be here today!

Bill,
The little Delta seems to be very popular and a good buy; often on sale.
I went with a Grizzly and doubt that I have anything much better. Grizzly
sells a variety of blades & you may be able to get one from them to fit
whatever you buy. Can also have blades custom made--there are shops with
blade welding machines that can take bulk blade stock and weld it to
whatever length you need, so any tooth count density can be had.

Actually, if you do a search for this information you would do better if
you spelled it correctly as "Gretz" :-) .
To the point, it is not a problem with predrilled holes in the pitot
head - there aren't any. The problem is that the holes in the mount are
too far from the edge. The Dynon pitot has a slight recess on the base
so that it slides into the mount a certain amount. That depth is not
enough to allow sufficient edge clearance when you drill the mounting
holes in the mount. The solution is to grind the pitot enough so that
it will slide into the mount a little further. Then there will be
enough edge distance when you drill the holes.
Now, if you are actually asking about where to mount the Gretz mount on
the wing, then you are correct that the hole location recommended by
Van's for the standard pitot is not suitable. The Gretz mount must be
located more aft in the wing skin. I believe (if I remember correctly)
that the Gretz mount comes with appropriate instructions for this aspect.

| Subject: | Bandsaw question |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Bill Repucci" <bill@repucci.com>
Thanks for all of you who replied. I was able to find the part I
needed, which was a new drive belt. The company that made my saw went
out of business 11 years ago and I was having a hard time locating a
replacement belt.
It turns out that my drive belt is just a VERY big O-ring and I was able
to locate them on the web today. I should have a replacement in three
days.
As for bandsaw blades, I found a very good site for ordering custom
blades, www.ebandsawblades.com. I should have a new batch of blades,
cut to my custom length by next week. (18 TPI, 1/4" X 57")
(The saw I have I would never recommend for woodworking but seems to
work good on the light cutting required for the -9 and does have a 14"
throat, which works out well. More so since it has three speeds and I
can slow it down for cutting metal.)

Just received my wing kit this Saturday and while completing the inventory found
that I didn't have an ST4130-035X1/2X 48". I was sent one only 38" long. Looking
at DWG.15 it shows the pushrod needing to be 27 1/8 inches long. I assume
that the intent was to cut the 48" rod in half and end hardwre makes up the
remaining 3 1/8 inches. My question is, what is the proper length on the pushrod?
is the DWG correct or is the 38" rod long enough to fabricate two pushrods
(~22" long).
