Bought A Bandsaw

[pmarlin]

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.

So now I can get started on my build. I have all the wood ready to start.

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.

Regards,

Rob

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.

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.

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.

34" to the top adjustment knob, 20' wide out to the end of the work suface and 14 deep from the front of the work surface to the back side of the motor.

Thanks Paul, looks like a perfect saw to clamp or screw to my Bench.
