Ugghh...I'm not surprised this would happen. I do have an old Delta 14" bandsaw that I use for curves and such, so this new bandsaw would be dedicated for ripping and resawing. I had never looked at power feeders before, but the responses here made me realize how useful they are for this purpose. And then I find that a good power feeder needs a larger bandsaw table to work properly. Ah well...I'll figure that into the equation and maybe just save up a little longer to get the right setup the first time.
