ridnharley Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 After doing a lot of research, I think this is best bandsaw for my shop. Any owners/users of this saw have any tips or tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barron Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 No tips or tricks, but I really like mine. I did replace the tires after three years or so. Also, a good light with a magnetic base is helpful to see under the table when adjusting the lower guides. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 After doing a lot of research, I think this is best bandsaw for my shop. Any owners/users of this saw have any tips or tricks? After a 3-4 years I finally found out that removing the table when changing blades is faster and a whole lot easier. Taking the table off is a simple matter. You will do a much better job of setting the guides. Last year I added a riser block. Works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea that the riser block comes with the saw now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHill Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I got mine used around 4 years ago. The only thing I added was the mobile base. Works great! Dust collection is not great but if you try running it with the dust collector disconnected you'll notice a lot more dust. I know I've forgotten the dust collector when a cloud of fine sawdust starts forming around me. So even though it's not great it is somewhat effective.
