Bandsaw Buddy - Fence Alignment Tool

cults3d

Here is my version of the aluminium bandsaw buddy you can find online. It is used to align the fence to the blade by exaggerating the direction of the blade and offering the fence up to it enabling you to adjust the angle. The magnet recesses are designed for 2x 9.5mm x 0.75mm magnets in each recess. (4 in total) (they are the ones I had anyway) make sure the teeth of the blade go in the slot so they do not kick the bandsaw buddy off to the side. The holes along the length are simply an easy way of drawing circles at set radii and nothing to do with the aligning of the blade. Please dont even think about lifting this off the bed until it is completely cold as it will warp like mad rendering it useless. Mine is VERY slightly curved as you can see in one fo the photos but it's an even curve so I can get away with it by simply looking at each end. Saved me £20 anyway :)
