Well Zlurgh

Stationary work piece and moving blade.

Principle of band saw mills.

Only difference is the moving blade is mechanized to control its feed rate. instead of "along handled bar to drag the saw" Now thats the part that me find kinda needs some repenting (you know Fr. verb ponce ~ to think) You may wanna rethink that dragging part. Never seen a manual feed band saw mill. must be some reason.

Ya I read them words about the hold down switch which is a really good idea. However and never the less...whats it gonna take a dude with your skill set to mechanize driving the head...a beer, a quick sketch and a few hrs of shop time.

Other than that it sure be a nice shinny looking thing you be building.

Sorta reminds me of what W.C.Fields said about women. "Nice to look at but I wouldn't wanna own one."

From an idiot that stuck a worm drive through ply to make a table saw it makes me a bit nervous...

Cool, I like it. Where did the rails and linear bearings come from? I've bought from VXB Bearing, but always looking for new suppliers.

Bob

Both the bearings and rails came through McMaster-Carr. The bearings are plain, frelon lined. I made the pillow blocks. The rails are precision 6061 annodized aluminum. They only come round so I had to make a flat side and drill and tap holes in them to mount them.
