I have decided to build a custom 17 inch floor style bandsaw so I can resaw lumber for furniture building. It will be about 75" tall with a 15" cutting capacity. Harbor Freight sells a 17 inch saw so I ordered their wheels as parts. The total cost for both wheels and tires was less than $70.00. The wheels are the exact same wheels that Grizzly uses on their 17 inch at 1/3 cost. Most of the frame is 11 gauge tubing and 1/4' x 2" x 2" angle. It has a quick release blade tension system. The backbone is 4" x 4" 11 gauge tubing with triangulation reinforcement. The pictures below are process thus far. The plan is of my design and it is in my head. I now have the upper skins installed and the blade shields in place. The skins are 18 gauge CRS. It will soon be ready for paint. I can see "THE END". More pictures are coming as fabrication proceeds. It is done. It works great. I will dismantal it and paint as soon as it warms up enough to paint it in my unheated shop.
