[TheForge] replacement 4X6 horiz band saw

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

I see what you mean about the switch. Grrr...it's Grizzly frustrating.
I put a finger knob on the retainer screw for the bottom of the 
hydraulic unit so i could remove it by hand.
Did the same for the retainer screws on the blade cover.
Questions.
1 Does your saw still have those bright red safety blade guards between 
the bow and the blade guards? Mine seem ill fated by the first or second 
blade change.
2 Is there an easy bolt on system to wipe/brush debris from the blade?

So long Rong Fu! You were a hell of a lot of saw for $135 and served me 
well. By retirement you had parts of 4 different saws working for me.

Oh crap!!! I've descended all the way down to, 
worn-out-cheap-Chinese-tool sentimentality !!!
Forgive me st Francis of Aspen!..pf
