Final video in a series where youtuber Der Stöpselkopf restores a Kity 612. With subtitles, so also interesting for non-German speaking viewers.

Short video showing Kity 612 cutting action. Not very useful, but one of the few videos out there and shows what this machine is capable of.

The switch on my handsaw has packed in, so bought a new switch, but original has a black extra wire…is this necessary and what and where?
I don’t own this saw, but I replaced the switch on my Inca bandsaw (which is from the same period I think). It also had an extra wire, which was earth/ground and was just attached to the machine base itself.
Have an electrician take a look, they’ll be able to give you a definitive answer.
hi
an new here…
considering buying a used Kity612 bandsaw… as a better alternative to the china made Einhell and Scheppach…
what are the things to look for when i go over and check the machine ?
Hi Mike, a few things you could check for in a used band saw:
A. Are all the parts there, and does it turn on?
B. Are the tables flat?
C. Are the wheels straight (if they are bent, you will never get a straight cut)?
Things that don’t need to be perfect, because they can easily be replaced are the bearings for the guides (but make sure there are guides to begin with), and the sawblade itself.
Hope this helps!
Hi
Are there any parallel and angele supports out there as spare parts? i would like to have 1 of those for my Kity 612
Very very hard to find originals, the mitre slots are 15mm wide so if you could do what did and get some 15mm flat bar and retrofit a Picador 110 or 120 guide to suit, they’re fairly easy to find on eBay
Buoungiornio avevo bisogno di reperire uno o due nastri per il legno per questo attrezzo, Kity 612, sapete dirmi il costo e dove posso acquistarlo? Grazie
Just purchased a Kity 612, very cheap. However, it’s struggling to switch on. Not sure if it’s the actual switch or the starting capacitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Nick, if it’s making a buzzing noise when you switch it on, it’s probably the capacitor.
You can try pushing the saw blade with a piece of wood while you switch on the machine. It should run fine once you help it over the initial inertia. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely a different problem.
Hope that helps!
