What’s a Trunnion? Building A Wooden Band Saw

DIY Trade Skills

This is part 3 in my 12″ wooden band saw build. In this one I make the quick release tensioner and stiffen the upper part of the frame, plus install the motor and wiring. After running the saw for the first time I made the trunnions and table from 3/4″ Baltic birch plywood.
