I recently bought a 610 and found a video from Peter Sefton that was invaluable (he sets up a 510). If you¡¯ve got the rails on your table, he adjusts them to square the fence to the blade. Video

Greg, I'm very much a noobie when it comes to band saws, but here are my observations from the last year or so with my Laguna LT14SUV (Asian-made, Euro-style 14" band saw, 3hp, ~14" resaw capacity):

Re: replacing a sliding table saw with a CNC router
1. CNC is indeed repeatable, results vary somewhat with size of end mills, depth of cut and feed rates. Good methods and practices are still required though. 2. Software is great, just depends upon

I've watched all the Snodgrass videos and have had success with his method on my 14" Jet bandsaw. I have an FB510 too that I use for resawing with a 1" Trimaster carbide blade. The Snodgrass approach
