Woodster 2 bandsaw repair/commissioning

Open LukasFreeze opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

We got a Woodster 2 BS 412 from @Jrosy a while ago and I finally had time to take another closer look at it this week :-)

Success:

  • switch unit mounted under the table
  • case cleaned from year-old dust
  • dry run: motor & wheels run true and quiet

Missing parts:

  • we only have one compatible sawband at the moment
  • dust extraction is possible by squeezing a festool hose in there, but an adapter that really holds the hose should be made

Problems:

  • the bottom blade guards are pretty hard to reach or see - we definitely need to include new photos in the introduction and may think about some kind of helper/feeler tool
  • the top thrust bearing was completely shredded 🤕

Checklist (to be continued!):

  • [ ] design & make a Festool vacuum adapter
  • [ ] replace thrust bearing (608ZZ, @LukasFreeze will bring one)
  • [ ] document/improve(?) blade guide alignment
  • [ ] test cuts with existing blade
  • [ ] buy & document additional blades
  • [ ] further commissioning in the wiki
