Jet came in today so I picked it up, got some Cool Blocks and a 1/4 inch blade. I also got a mobile base because I just don't have the room. Man, table saw, band saw, router table, jointer, planer, drill press and sander and some other stuff in a 12x16....... and I can still move....
It went together very easy the only thing that gave me a problem was getting the belt tension right while keep the pulleys on the same plane. They need to come up with a better way to move the motor, one hand to hold the motor in place, one hand to tighten the nut and one hand to hold a wrench on the bolt. (Now whats wrong with that picture)
I have only done a little cutting with it but it sure bets the jig saw all to heck. I did get a book on Bandsaws by Lonnie Bird, have read it so I think I have some what of an idea on what it can do. (not much)
I still am not sure what I am going to do for a fence there are 2 of them I am looking at the Kreg and the Woodheaven, still not sure which yet.
