The COB finally arrived. I now have a fantastic shadow line for the blade which should really make lining up with pencil marks much easier!!
Whole thing including 2 redo’s probably took an hour.
So far I like your Shadow line light set up the best that I’ve seen! Definitely on the right track I think, great job
Thank you kindly!
Great idea! Just ordered some of the lights.
Would it be possible to measure the angle of your aluminum piece as a reference?
angle iron-----you mean profile aluminum good video thanx rick
Right. Never know what to call it.
Controller On Board.. 😎👍☘️🍺
Just a thought. If you take a torch and braise that white starboard-like stuff, essentially you'll make a shiny stickable face on it. We doing that on boats to take 3M5200 epoxy stuff.
So far all perfectly in place. Good tip!
What power was the cob to get a sense of the amount of power / light being thrown out, that obviously works well? And well done and thank you for making the video!
These are the ones I used. Not sure on the power.

The description of the lights says 9-16 volts. Did you experiment with higher voltage?
Do you have a link for the led you used?
These are the ones I used. I think the extras will be made into a new light for the band saw!!!! GrandviewTM COB 10-Pack 48-SMD... www.amazon.ca/dp/B071FC3P5W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
How is the life of those LED lights? Do they still shine bright after a year?
This setup is still working great! I am finding I would like maybe a more concentrated and brighter light source but this one and the ones on the band saw are working really well.
If you cardboard is working why change it . I think it’s pretty clever. Thanks for sharing
Chip on Board many different sizes and shapes available
If the COB should fall off your piece of aluminum, rather than use a zip tie, I would probably try some epoxy to make it permanent without losing any of the light. I like your mod much better than the sewing machine light. BTW, my electrical skills are extremely limited, but, what size resister would I need to wire the COB to a 9v battery rather than a power brick like you did.
I ended up just using another strip of double sided 3m tape to hold the wire. Overall this has been a fantastic addition!!
9v battery should power the light on it's own.
what size resister? oh, double sided tape LMAO
M33 only in China
No r in Bosch. Pronounced Baash. No negativity. Just an fyi. Thanks for the video.
Ukrainian chop shop. No Fs given!
😅😅😅
The way they put that opaque strip on the guard is the dumbest design. Makes it extremely awkward trying to hold the guard up to line up your cut. You would think for a 700$ saw they would include some way to see your cut on the saw. Shame on you Bosch you really dropped the ball on a few things with this saw
You know, I never noticed that but now you mention it…. I always look to the side of the guard to find the pencil line.
whaaaat ?
you dont want your face directly in line with that blade if anything ever happens LOL
Before you made your light it's good to use a flash light to see where the best location the light should be for the best line, also you would be better off with Led's that are more focused than the COB you used. Say like one that has four or six isolated high power leds on a COB which would be more directional.
I agree. At the time when I was looking at this there were no solutions other than the small bulb LED setups such as those on Amazon for sewing machine lights…. I was looking for something that would fit nicely in the space where the blade cover was and would project enough light to work. In this case that has worked nicely. In hind sight I could have gotten individual big intensity LED’s and made a circuit board to mount them to and soldered everything into a super nice tight package that would still give the ability so see the shadow line while sitting on the surface of the sun… This solution works. If it dies I might go the other way….
@@mbwoodbutcher The Dewalt are much easier to add the light I have an old Delta 10'" with a metal housing & I used a COB with four led's so two on each side of the blade makes a good line & I used the flash light trick to figure where to mount it. Good Video & thanks for the reply.
