pmarlin Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I just got the Craftsman 10 in. Band Saw. Last night when I looked online it was $99.99 and went in today and that eneded yesterday, just my luck . Well I got it anyways, looks to be a nice saw. I didnt like the plastic on the Ryobi and Delta $99 ones so I went ahead with this one for $50 more. Craftsman 10 in Band Saw So now I can get started on my build. I have all the wood ready to start.

Robert Irizarry Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks for sharing. I'm going to start looking at purchasing a bandsaw for my next guitar build but first I have to set up a proper workspace. A cold, cramped corner of a garage is no place to build.

You're going to like that bandsaw. I was wondering if anyone here was going to snag one. $99 would have been killer, but even $149 is good for that saw. I posted about replacing the guide bearings on it's big brother, the 22401. It's MUCH nicer now. Craftsman 22401 guide bearing replacement.

Quarter Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I have one of the 10" Craftsman saws and although it is not perfect, it seems to be a good saw for what it is. I got mine after Xmas for $107, sale + Craftsman Club deal. Put a Timberwolf blade on it from http://ebandsawblades.com/ and it cuts quite well.

Carl762 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) I'm going to have to take a look at one of those. I have other Craftsman tools, saws. This saw looks killer, and the price is right. Hey, would you mind posting the height, width, depth, etc. Thanks. I do have a metal cutting Harbor Freight special, that allows you to cut in the upright position like this saw. My buddy says that will work, if I change the blade. Hmmm, I'm wondering. Rob, get propane. I've been very pleased with the quality of heat and it's fairly economical. I used to live in Palenville, just up the road, about 12 miles from Hunter Mountain. It's colder in NY than here in Oregon. LOL I use one of the single burner types, when its not so cold, and a rocket engine floor job type when its really brisk out. I bought a 50# tank. I get great gas mileage. Edited April 1, 2007 by Carl762 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl762 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks Paul, looks like a perfect saw to clamp or screw to my Bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
