I have a confession to make...

[Russell Eaton]

I am a TOOL JUNKIE!!! :rolleyes:I traded a 14" Jet for a 18" Jet bandsaw. I think I did real good. My friend bought the 18 and it was way to big for his shop. So he traded me for my 14" deluxe model with Carter guides and a few extras. The 18" was lightly used and had never been setup properly. My friend has a shop in his backyard that is difficult to access, so we made a trade, and are both happy. Enjoy, Russell

Congrats on that trade Russell! Should be able to turn out some really nice bowl blanks with your new saw!

[Tim Thiebaut]

Congrats on the trade! All I have is a porta band, and of course that isnt very practicle for cutting wood for blanks.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on a great trade. That thing should cuts some bowl blanks easily.

[Roger Chandler]

Russel...I have one of those 18", and trust me it will cut all the blanks you need and do it with dispatch!

[Russell Eaton]

The guy we got it from had NO clue how to set it up. The saw teeth were 1/4" behind the bearings. It still had the factory blade on it, we cut up several blanks today and I am going to do a few more after Church tomorrow. The 3 hp makes a difference when you are cutting 12" thick wood.

[Cathy Schaewe]

wow, sounds like a great deal. I really like my rikon, but that extra few inches and hp would make a difference sometimes -

[Baxter Smith]

Congrats on the upgrade. The bigger table will be nice as well.

Boy I hope you threw in a case a beer to least make him feel better when he figures out you got the better deal.
