New Bandsaw

On Saturday we stopped at Harbor Freight where I was going to purchase a planetary ring roller. After I located the roller my wife asked me what I thought of the bandsaw they had on display. After looking at it I told her the legs seemed a little more wobbly than the Jet, and other than that I didn't notice any difference. She then asked which saw I would prefer and I told her the HF would do just fine. We then left with the ring roller and bandsaw. I noticed a post on this forum asking about cast iron blade guides. Could someone tell me where the blade guides are located. The blade guides hold the blade just before the beginning of the cut and just after the end of the cut. They should (ideally) be adjusted to clear the material being cut (and the saw parts) with as little room to spare as possible. (I think you have identified them). I took the wobble out of the legs on my saw by adding two pieces of 1/2" EMT (steel electrical conduit) to the bottom of the legs, one on each side. I flattened the ends (keeping both ends of each piece parallel) and drilled holes to match the wheel-mounting holes in the legs. (Measure while the saw is setting on a _flat_, and _level_ area or you will build in a twist - don't ask). When I bolted them on, the legs became _solid_. I really like this cheap and effective fix. I recommend it to you all - if you don't like the results, just unbolt it and your saw is back to its original condition. I don't think you will take it apart. ;-) RA
