I sold off all my Sears stuff (tablesaw, drillpress, joiner, disk sander, belt sander, bandsaw, lathe, etc.) and got a Shopsmith. It takes up very little space compared to all those individual tools. No money savings since it cost as much as the individual tools, but worth it. The bandsaw takes

I agree with George, the Tradesman is not nearly the tool the Craftsman is. I happened to be going to Sears yesterday and stopped in to see what the fuss was all about. There is NO comparison in the quality and capability between these two saws. At a $130 for the Craftsman, its a marginal

At a $130 for the Craftsman, its a marginal value, but its a much better saw than the Tradesman. If I was in the market, I'd wait for the Craftsman to go on sale. By the way, the Tradesman is only a 1/4 hp. You get what you pay for. 1/4hp is plenty for a small bandsaw. Every now and then

Are you sure it is D-flat and not F-sharp? Just kidding... I've found that setting tension on the blade has to be enough so the blade doesn't wobble when making a cut. I keep adding tension until my cuts are true. Kurt -Original Message- From: Bill Swingle [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
