4th Axis timing pulley + Axminster bandsaw review

[Jonathan]

I think the reason you have the taper cut is due to the way you held the bar in the vice, and being to aggressive with the force of the cut.

You should have a piece the same diameter at the other end of the vice to stop the vice jaws pivoting "See Picture" and a piece of flat bar under the piece to stop it tilting.

Ok, I'll run it more slowly and put another bit in the other end next time. I've just checked and the bar did not move in the vice at all, it was the blade that wandered.
I think I should have moved the guard/bearings closer together...it didn't want to budge though.

Where has the router gone or is that in another department ?

It's still in the same place - yes the workshop is getting a bit cramped now!
