Theyre average. I get my blades made up locally here in Adelaide by a saw doctor.

upgrade

you can buy mine when i upgrade lol

**floody_85** · 2nd January 2010, 05:12 PM

Id love to upgrade but I cant really afford it and I dont really have the room.. Im looking into diggin out under my house a bit lower and laying a slab and using that as a workshop cos its heaps bigger then where I am now...No natural light but...If I done that I would get a bigger bandsaw..Prob just come steal yours!

the problem with going under is the heat your gonna get down there...
your gonna have to put up a couple of decent fluros

that place will get hotter than my workshop

you can use mine... but its a fair drive,
and we know how you dont like to drive, so too bad

you have a 12" gmc(rappy) bandsaw yea?

**floody_85** · 2nd January 2010, 07:06 PM

yea gmc..It will cut wat i need if I go slow but I want a good one that will do it with ease..Just gonna have to wait I think...
Its actually cooler under my house then it is outside lol..Its weird..

**woodturner777** · 2nd January 2010, 07:21 PM

hahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahaaahaha

even if i do upgrade, i dunno if i will get rid of this one... its a nice lil unit apart from it being a PITA to reset for different blades.... (then again, maybe there is an upgraded bottom blade guide that is easier to reset)
