my 14" BS gloat

[chopnhack]

You are an aficionado sir. Not likely to happen for me, i can count on one hand the number of times I have been to sears, woodcraft, HF, NT this year and perhaps to HD/Lowes on both hands and a foot. Seriously great score enjoy and use in health.

I hate you right now. Great score

it took more than 2 months, but i finally got all the missing parts ( sears is much harder to deal kwith than HD). here it is complete. it's a really nice looking little saw. CI wheels and table, light, 8" resaw, dual voltage 1hp motor, 2 speeds, enclosed base, 4" and 2.5" dust ports, blade viewing window, edge facing thrust bearings. the fence isn't the greatest, but once set up, it appears to be adequate. a blade detensioner would have made it almost ideal. it's easy to see why pop.wood made it a best buy in a 2006 comparative test of 14" bandsaws. lots of good features, good performance and a resonable list price ($570 @ the time of this purchase). now all i have to do is find room for it in the garage/shop.

I missed saying, "Great score," in October. So here it is now: "Great Score!"

Toolguy, 2 months for $450 is a good trade. Since you don't have the space I will be happy to drive over and remove it for you ;P
