    I don't like mixing metal and wood cutting saws, simply due to all the metal swarf. What is your total budget to cut both and will a 14" saw suffice for metal cutting? By metal do you mean ferrous...

    Glad you got something good out of it. One thing to consider, if they are on Craigslist or the like keep an eye on them. It is unlikely they sell for the prices he is asking and they may come down...

    I fold them up put them in a box and dump them. Some people use the backer for scratch stock and the like but I never have. I kept a 1 1/4" carbon blade for that purpose and haven't used any of it...

    If it slips on startup, even though there is a lot of weight in those wheels to overcome, it will slip in any significant resawing as well and you likely won't hear it and it will get worse and glaze...

    While I suppose it is obvious now it is always a good idea to check every bandsaw blade as soon as you get them in. EVERY blade welder will muck up a weld now and then and some of them will get...

    I wouldn't let the 6" resaw height affect my buying decision in this case. It is unlikely you will do any significant amount of resawing at 6" on a saw that has roughly 1/3hp and practically limited...

    If you have a hard budget I would suggest considering PVC ducting over the admittedly great metal snap lock if it puts a better cyclone within the budget.

    You should be on the way to get it IF it meets your needs for a bandsaw. It looks like either a 10" or 12" from the BN/Driver line from the 1930s. Nice little saws for the size and at a fair price...

    Do you have a link to this? Never heard of Klein shaper tooling. Is it steel or aluminum? It is the only one that strikes me as a massive chunk of metal.

    One thing to be aware of is the G0529 has a polyurethane helical gear on the spindle sander, which is part of the reason it is inexpensive. To use a proper metal gear you need to have an oil bath...
