[TheForge] New Bandsaw question

[David E. Smucker]

AMEN -- Ries,

I had one of the "cheap cheap" models and work on it a great deal and could 
never quite get it to cut square.  Close, but not perfect.  Friends have 
similar models that work well.  I ended up selling mine for $ 25.  It was 
one of the 4" x 6" cut capacity models.  Replaced it with another Asian 
model -- a Jet 7" x 12" and it is a great saw.  (Lot more money but still 
cheap for the quality of saw.)
