Grizzly G0514X2 enroute. Recommendations for installation?

[Myk Rian]

My 1st bandsaw (Grizzly G0514X2) will be delivered this Friday. I have a Shop Fox Super Heavy Duty mobile base ready for it. If any one has any tips/pointers/recommendations for getting the bandsaw assembled, installed, and tuned, I'm all ears (I guess eyes is actually more appropriate). Thanks.

Read the manual that comes with it.

Nice presentation on the bandsaw. Thank you for the link.

I thought the bandsaw base was flimsy and added a lot of flex and wobble to the system. Even though I generally don't move mine around, I put it on this base (or one very similar they were carrying years ago):

I sized the plywood as small as possible. Then I drilled through the bolt holes in the bandsaw base, and right through the metal and plywood of the base, and I bolted it down solid to the base. Between that, and the levelers on the mobile base, the saw instantly became a lot better. Anyhow, that's just an FYI. Getting this thing bolted down to something solid makes for a better saw. Getting it level helps too.
