YES! Got a new Band Saw!

[SIKDMAX]

Way stoked.... won a contest on Pirate4x4 and won a new Bandsaw from Baileigh Industrial. Its their BS-128M 5" Hydraulic Band Saw. $895 and about $400 in freight from Minnesota, should be here at the shop tomorrow or the next day.

Anyone else have a big bandsaw? What should my first project be?

They have tons of cool stuff on their site.... www.Bii1.com

Spend less than $100 and set up a mist cooing system on it and your blades will last much longer, esp if your cutting SS.

This is the system that I run on my vertical band saw. It more than trippled the blade life when cutting 321 SS

Great idea... will do that for sure!

Thanks!

Congrats, you suck..

Would you have to put the whole thing in a tank to run/capture/recycle the coolant?

nope, thats the beauty of mist cooling. it diesnt use much at all so there is no need to recover it. I dilute mine (cant remember the ratio) but I used less than a pint building a set of headers and up-pipes. Prob over 200 cuts.

what contest did you win on pirate? I didnt know you did custom fab stuff. Looks like a cool machine.

In General 4x4.... lots of vendors do giveaways... you just post in the thread then when the contest is over they pick a post # at random and you win! Check it out.... theres prob 6 or 7 giveaways goign on right now. Gotta be a red or yellow star to participate usually. My $20/year red star just paid for itself several times over :rofl:

This is mainly gonna be used for my new cage, but it can do exhaust, DOM/mild/4130 tubing, flat/bar stock, pretty much whatever. I think it comes in today truck freight, the truck got delayed a few days due to the crazy storms in the midwest.

Just got a Miller 212 for here and on the hunt for a Hypertherm plasma and eyeing the JD3 hydro bender... should be set! Fabbing is fun

yes I know, I have a red star on pirate. I know and have worked for one of the owners of pirate too, you know the 'junkyard dog' project; Im the one who got it running like a freight train after some GM Master Tech's and a professional tuner tried but could barely get it to idle.

This is mainly gonna be used for my new cage,

what cage? Any pics of stuff you make? Im just curious, i love checking out what everyone else is making, sometimes gives me ideas.
