Hi, I just purchased a used White 14" CS Jet Band Saw for a respectale $225. The previous owner thought the saw was around 6 years old? It does need some TLC. My question is can you tell the age by the serial number? Or any other way? Does anyone have any comments on this particular band saw? I am a newbie with a band saw and can use any helpful hints or ideas on how to really get to know my saw? I plan to do some re-sawing and crafting with it. What blades are the best for the uses I plan to use the saw for? I know this probably isn't the right way to ask, but before purchasing I would appreciate some help. I know you guys have been through this, and I just want to make the right choices and not have to throw away junk I would probably buy because the blade was on sale, or seemed to be a bargain. Any tid bit of information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jeff
