A square piece of plywood is easier to turn into a bandsaw wheel, and makes for a better wheel too. Bike wheels aren't true enough, too small a bearing shaft, too hard to put a proper corwn on, etc. They just aren't suitable.

Good job. Bandsaws get expensive in a hurry as the wheel size increases. A tilting table would have been nice but hey! I like they way you segmented the wheel rims. Surprised you didn't finger joint the segments together.

It's best to balance wood with wood. As humidity changes, the wood could easily change by 5% in mass. If wood is balanced with wood, then that doesn't throw it off balance.

Good results resawing. Craftsmen featured a 3 wheel bandsaw back during WWII made with bicycle pedals as hubs, if you can imagine that. It'd be nowhere near as good as real bearings today but back then they had two steel rods through where the pedal went and they were sturdy. The 3 wheel is smaller but has just as big of a throat capacity if not more. It's IDEAL for resawing. Good stuff overall but if I were you when some of these things wear due to wood on steel (and you can have corrosion issues) I'd consider oilite bushings. Also check out something called a "slide bearing" as it'd be perfect for much of what you do.

@Matthiaswandel Depending on the ratios of the pullies, either or should be fine. I'd go with 1/2HP since they're pretty easy to find and run at the proper voltage for home use. You need to be careful around some appliance motors because they aren't always fully enclosed to protect against electric shock or injury from moving parts.

Nice work. I built a band saw very similar to yours a number of years ago. I had a problem with the wooden support column warping over time because of the constant pressure from the blade tension. You might consider reinforcing he column with steel or a triangular truss up the back... Chuck

I thoght about segmenting the wheels, but that would have meant cutting them to length before fitting them to the wheel. And I figured they'd do fine segments and I already put a crazy amount of time into it as it was.

@MrBurnTec "Don't" seems fair comment, but with a surface that is suitable to hold the blade, I can see a benefit. It is possible to true up a bike wheel - i.e. no need to drill holes to balance it. Bike wheels have a convenient bearing too. Get the blade to ride it right and it might work. I'm a believer in never saying never.

I understand the wooden wheels won't hold a keyway for a pulley on the back of the frame. I am developing a metal hub that can be made with no machine tools but a drill press that will hold a keyway. I need that to place the pulley on the back of the frame because I am going to use a reduction pulley system that will slow down the blade to work steel as well as wood, and metal chips dropping down into the pulley will destroy it in short order.

Hey Matthias. Awesome videos. I've watched all the vids on your bandsaw and have a question concerning the balancing of the wheels. Is there any particular reason why you remove wood from the wheel as opposed to putting in a screw or nail opposite the heavy side? I watched a guy building from your plans, and he removed a significant amount of wood to balance it out. It would seem a screw would be good cause it is heavy, you can choose different sizes and is removable in case it is misplaced.

I like your tensioning mechanism, it looks effective. Do you think it's better than the more customary screw? Also, You didn't talk about the tracking system. I assume that's covered in the article. Thanks, again. Great job.

Fun idea, but I am concerned about your risk management.. I'm sure the clips don't do it justice just how many tests you did before running the blade under power, but it's quite scary to consider running a bandsaw blade at speed with no shielding of any sort.

I like the idea of a wooden bandsaw if it is designed to meet the specs of a prohibitively expensive commercial bandsaw, but if you simply match the specs of an ordinary bandsaw that can be bought used for $100-$250 then it seems rather pointless.
