Hey Guys/Gals:
Sorry to be away for so long - but other demands on my time have pretty much taken me out of the shop and worse, away from you fine folks!
Thanks to the generosity of the company I work for and a good year last year, I can finally report that I have received/ordered some of the shop tools I have been talking about incessantly. Proud to report I am now the owner of a Grizz G0555P band saw w/riser block and a G0452 6" jointer! AND the G1023RLW table saw is on back order (till August! :wsad.
Thanks to all the input from you fine folk - especially on the bandsaw (had the same problem with having to re-set the tensioner assembly after the riser block install) - and I will be order some blades from WoodCraft bands very soon. You are right, the blade that comes with the machine is nearly pure junk!
Please excuse the sorry state of the shop - I have not had a chance to do my Spring cleaning yet!
Best to all!
Chris
