Are you sure you want this piece of crap? Why not look for a used
real one? (i.e. an old one with some cast iron in it). I once got a
14" Grizzly used with a bunch of other stuff and it was a total
thorn in my side. Eventually I tore it down and totally rebuilt it
with a lot of redesign. It worked well after that, but I could have
better spent the time and energy. At the same time I was having
this headache my friend picked up a Rockwell for $150.

Why would I knowingly want to buy a problem?

Are you sure you're in the right newsgroup? :-)



I must not be. I thought this one was rec.crafts.metalworking and
you seem to say it is rec.machinery.rebuilding.

My mistake. Sorry.

Nothing wrong with buying a new machine ready to go, for a small band saw,
you did OK. There is some satisfaction, however, in acquiring and improving
older quality tools, even if some time and ingenuity is involved. Most of us
wouldn't look at it as a problem, more like an opportunity.
