I have a BS100 shop master bandsaw by delta that I purchased over a year ago. The unit is no longer functional. I always had a hard time getting the blade to track correctly and I couldnt cut a straight line freehand or with the aide of a fence. In my last attempt at tuning the thing up, I broke the blade tension mechanism. I have not looked to see if I could purchase the part yet becuase frankly, I've never been satisfied with the bandsaw in the least bit. The only usefulness I have gained from it was nibbling away waste out of notches, or cutting small stock that wasnt safe to cut on a table saw.
I have considered salvaging some of the parts for other projects such as the power switch, the motor, the light, etc.
At first, I wanted to use the motor to build a air cleaner, but I'm not sure it would be worthwhile considering what I could buy an attic fan for new.
Does anyone have any reccomendations aside from placing this thing out with the trash?
