Re: new saw owner
Howdy, welcome.
First, check the message archives, there's some decent info there
for you to start with. Second, order a good bimetal blade after you
get your saw.
Last, go forth and cut!

Jim,
It's just (that) we are pouting, 'cause we don't have a piece of 4.5"

Gee - I hope the fact that my (I'm Jim E.) bandsaw's slightly
different didn't turn people off. Appears I'm the last poster.

Slight perturbation from the weld in the blade? Cyclic features in the
pulleys? I've seen it, too, never worried 'cuz it's a rough cut anyway.

Re: Digest Number 17
Be aware that HF has great prices on parts but doesn't seem to stock
much in the US. It may take months for your bearings to arrive via
container ship from China.

Re: Digest Number 17
I thought I had a Harbor freight band saw for the past couple of years
and when the blade bearings went bad I called them to get some new one.
When I went to get the model number I discovered I had a

On my bandsaw, the jaws are only about 1.5" high, and end about 4" from
the blade. BUT, I do have to make a "confession" here. I do not have
the 4x6 model most of you probably have. HF used to

I've got to cut a 3/8" thick slice of a 5" dia. Al round that is 2-
5/8" long. It looks like I can hold this round in my vise and make
the cut without any jigs or work-arounds. The saw frame will
