Tensioning the Band Saw The usual band ssw tensioning devices are net only awkward to use but have no reference point. Relieving tension when the saw is idle (as recommended) is a chore, so one lends In forget about it. My solution is to make a wooden handle, as shewn, to lit over lie existing knob. I ran now relieve he tension by cranking the hancle a set number of turns and then return to the original tension by cranking the same number of turns in reverse. Robert England Eugene, Oregon fnCH THV OF rftlCgg Improved Disk Sander 'Hie one shortcoming of my disk sander is the sloppy miter gauge that came with it. To solve that problem, I made a series of hardwood, pre-set miter gauges at 90°, 45° 30° and 22.5°. I screwed the angled section of the gauges to the hardwood guide that slides in the miter track. If the guide becomes worn, it's a snap to replace them. R. B. Himes Vienna. Ohio Downdraft Table I used a downdraft blower from an old Sears cook range to help make this downdraft sanding table. Three casy-to-Gnd 12" x 2-1" furnace filters collect the dust. For the working surface, I arranged six pieces of 12" x 12" rubber mat (the kind used in commercial kitchens) supported by an "eggcrate" grid made of 1/4" oak. The holes in he grid match those in the rubber mats. The bottom third of the unit has a drawer for keeping sandefs ar.d sanding supplies. Locking casters allow me to move the unit around the workshop — and it is built at the same height as my table saw, so I can use it as an auxiliary table when cutting- Even when I'm not sanding,' sometimes run the unit to filter the air in my shop.
