This 64 minute video takes you through a complete rebuild and tune-up of a Shopsmith 11" bandsaw, any age from 1953 to present (even those made by Magna and Yuba Corps). This video covers a complete tuneup and repair of the bandsaw including the most common problems encountered and their solutions. It encompasses a complete teardown, component by component cleaning, inspection and evaluation, installing new bearings, tires, blocks and other parts, proper cleaning, reassembly, lubing, tensioning, and alignments. It covers various upgrades and modifications the owner can make or buy. The bandsaw repair and tuneup is relatively easy and requires only common, simple tools which all woodworkers probably own.

Most of the information will also apply to clones of the Shopsmith bandsaw.

This DVD is a computer burned DVD+R disk. This type of DVD has different reflective properties than the standard Hollywood pressed DVD. According to industry experts, it should play in 95 to 99 percent of players. Only 10 out of over 400 buyers I have shipped to have had problems with their older DVD machines. If it does not play in yours, it is because your player is is outdated and was not calibrated for burned disks. If it does not play for you, please return it with $5 postage for a VHS copy of the video. If you can see the opening screen, it is playing fine. Simply press enter or play or click on the photo and the video will begin playing. Playing burned DVD's in computers is not recommended since computers read different than players. Computers can have their own software problems and if there are any data errors on the disk the play can pause or hang up. Therefore it is best these be viewed on DVD players. WARNING: SONY equipment seems to have the most problems with DVD+R format. No other brand of equipment has ever been mentioned to me by the few customers with problems playing these disks. If you only have SONY equipment, ask for VHS copies rather than DVD.

This is not intended for professional use but for the home user. It is up to the viewer to research and to heed any and all safety practices necessary for shop work. If you are unsure, be sure to consult qualified professionals.

"Another one well done Jacob. Your DVD's are a great resource and this one is no exception. I think these rank just after PTWFE and the owner's manual in "must haves". "
