Last week I received a wonderful birthday present: a new bandsaw! OK, I bought it myself, but my family contributed generously. After some research I settled on the Grizzly 14" model. It took the better part of a day to put it together -- and I had to get clever to get the saw (which weighs about 250 pounds) on top of the stand. I've only cut one board, but I can see that there's a learning curve. My knowledge of tablesaws is completely useless here: adjusting the bandsaw involves things like "tracking" and "tensioning". Once it's all set up, though, I have a feeling I'll wonder how I ever got along without it! (The dorky goggles shot is courtesy of my lovely wife.)
