Aussie Mike's machine shop

New addition to the workshop recently. A bigger, better band saw. A horizontal metal cutting band saw is a very handy piece of equipment. This is my third one now as I've gone bigger and better as the budget could afford it.

This new one is a beast. Cuts fast and accurate and has a really nice vise setup and swivel base for miter cutting.





Built in coolant pump and feed rate control. Taken a bit of tweaking and learning to get the feed rate right bit the results are great now.



I've got a big fabrication job making trolleys to go under 20 foot shipping containers so we can move them around the factory. Very heavy duty and designed to take an 8 ton load.

Here's most of the steel for them.



Cheers
