Default Now bandsaw - how to move

Nothing like that. I walk ~20mi a day (110-130mi/wk unless life
intervenes). I'm pacemaker dependent (heart doesn't beat without it).
I can do pretty much anything you'd likely encounter around one's
house but weld or ride a lawn tractor. Some gas powered lawn equipment
can be a problem but was just told to "be careful" around them. It's
the AC magnetic field (alternator, in this case) that's the problem.
They're shielded against electric fields but not magnetic.

With hospital cost today, The band saw is not worth a heart attack.

AH! Thanks for the explanation--now that reminded I knew about the
implant but had forgotten.

But they let you ride in a car, etc., don't they?

I'd think it not difficult to put some mu metal can material around it
that would be no issue with interference.

I knew there was some concern in early pacemakers; thought that had
mostly been solved by now other than the direct use of welding
equipment, etc., that is pretty good source.

I (we all) should be on such a regimen of the exercise!
