I have a 17 inch bandsaw, and with the magnet base on the side of the frame, the head of the light is a little shy of the blade, but still lights up the table pretty well, and if I need to, I can always mount it to the upper wheel cover. Nice find. Thanks for letting me know that worked out. I also have a 17" bandsaw and put mine on the top wheel cover.

Ordered a three pack. One for the bandsaw, one for the leatherwork bench, one for the knife bench.

I did similarly on my drill press. RE: band saw illumination - Rob Young - 04-07-2021 (04-06-2021, 03:20 PM)Cian Wrote: This is the way to go. LED bulbs keeps the heat at bay.
