    hi, A couple of months ago Laguna had a couple of Knapp machines in stock. They priced them very aggressively. I think there is still a 16" J/P there.

    Really good thread. I like woodworking shows. I've been to the IWF since 1986 and the AWFS that was in Anaheim and now Vegas since 1999. Great shows. The Woodworking Shows just aren't that good...

    Hi Dave, I'm sure there's still some craftsmen hidden away in the region, turning out products like Jameel pointed out. Years ago when I was working in West Africa I was amazed at the stuff some of...

    Hi Rick, That particular miter indexing attachment does work well. It fits on the outrigger and since you want to use the saw just for cutting solid pieces I don't think this is the way to go. You...

    Hi Jameel, One thing I just read in your post was that you tensioned the blade to the scale on the bandsaw. That might be cause of some of the problem. Those scales are notoriously inaccurate,...
