4x6 bandsaw link?
A guy was asking me today about my little 4x6 bandsaw FAQ. I have a link in it
which has gone dead, which link is (or was?): http://www.tcis.net/~kwag98/shop/saw/4x6saw.html That page was done by someone who called himself "Wild Bill". Does anyone know where that page moved to, or did anyone happen to archive it? If the latter, please email me offline so I can work with you to get my link working again, it was a real good reference. Even though I haven't owned a 4x6 saw for several years now, I still have a lot of fun corresponding with guys who do. Those saws have to be still one of the best deals going for a home metalworking shop. Grant Erwin Kirkland, Washington |

No idea where the Wild Bill page went, but these are pretty good sites:

It can be annoying that some vendors such as J&L in the UK sell what
appears to be the same saw with a differing paint colour next to each other in the catalogue for differing prices. They doesn't seem to be any difference so why the price difference. I can say though that as my neighbour has a 4x6 which outwardly looks to same as mine it has detail differences and is of a better quality. He bought his maybe 10 years earlier but for the same price of about £170, so with it should better given the decreasing value of money.

Note that diff versions of these saws (same price--$199?) have differing quality, it seems. Or mebbe just a diff. paint job?? :) An acquaintance had one from MSC, seemed much better than mine (origins unknown).

Yep...HF still carries them. I just bought one. I was shopping around
for a 4x6 and found the HF for $199. I was still shopping around so I didn't order it at that time. I finally decided to order the HF one and when I went back to the site, the price had dropped to $169! The best deal was that shipping was $8.99! I got it a week or so ago, but it is still boxed up waiting for me to put it together. Had to get a place in the basement cleaned out for it. Tomorrow I am getting it set up. Mike |

I have a Doall 4 x 6 band saw, its about 30 years old and is alot like my
dads Enco version. Mine says "Made in USA" and seems to be of a little better quality than my dads. The casting is a bit beefer in spots, the stand is much heavier and the wheels actualy serve a purpose, maybe mine is the orginal that all the imports have copied, just like SO many other tools.

I got mine from Enco few years ago, also for $169. And Enco has free
shipping for their "special" customers, like just about everyone who can read. Don't know if they have theirs at $169 still, but just keep track of the sales. The one thing I liked better on the Enco is it has a bottom shelf. Piece of cake to add one yourself, but I didn't have to. Otherwise, I believe they're the same thing, pretty much. mj wrote: Yep...HF still carries them. I just bought one. I was shopping around for a 4x6 and found the HF for $199.
