I got mine at Hastings Saw in Rohnert Park, CA. They have a small
simple advertisment in the back of Woodwork Magazine.

T'anks... I'm thinking about trying the BC Saw route, as made popular by
the not-too-distant-past FWW Article on bandsawing by that Canadian
Feller...

Think he was using plain ol' Starrets, if I recall.

Anyhows - I'm on hold now thinking of whether to buy the riser and order
105" blades or stay with the 93 1/2"...

I put the riser in my Rigid BS and have never regretted it...
AFAIK, you don't LOSE anything (except for $50-60) by putting the riser in, and
I think I feel more comfortable with the upper wheel being further away from the
table..
Might be my height, or just a mental thing, but the saw just seems to "fit" me
better now..
