Proof Of Concept Hydraulic Bandsaw Feed Rate Limiter

[mklotz]

Very clever, as usual, Rick.

For folks without sinus afflictions, probably the most commonly available bottle would be the ubiquitous two liter soda/water bottle. A 'calibrated' simple hole in the cap used in combination with the down pressure spring on the saw should provide the correct feed.

I have a tube from an HF 13" tire that already has a leak. I'll have to give that a try.

I wonder if something like modeling clay or duct seal could be used; varying the width of the piece being crushed could control the descent rate.

Oh, and you have good taste in bandsaws. Or I do. I have exactly that model Enco bandsaw. One of the most useful tools I ever bought.
