Homemade Bandsaw Bearing Guides Tuesday, 23 August 2011 14:15 I wanted to upgrade my bandsaw with some bearing guides. Now my bandsaw is an old Craftsman model and I really wasn't looking to put a whole lot into it, heck I only paid $50 for it in the first place! So looking around I see that Carter makes some for like $170 - what!?! for some bearings? psshhhhh I'll make my own for like $20 :) Read the Full Story

RC Helicopter Part

I broke my son's RC helicopter and lost a piece that goes on the blades - so I made one on my homemade CNC machine!

The part looks like a little dogbone and there's one on each side so I had one to re engineer from. I measured the part and re made it in Solidworks, then exported as Parasolid and imported into Mastercam for making the GCode. Then I cut it out on my homemade CNC machine - piece of cake :)
