[TheForge] BANDSAWS?

Thu Dec 5 12:26:00 2002

I have two metal cutting bandsaws, they are both made by Jet.  The vertical one is about 20 years old, and I've never had a problem with it.  The blade is 1/2" X 80".  The horizontal can cut up to 12" wide and 7" tall.  I forget what size blade it takes but it's 3/4" wide, it's a long one.

BTW, IMHO, I hate chopsaws.  They are noisy and dirty.
