I mean that, Can you make it vertical and add a table to make it work like a vertical? Because using it as it appears it looks like a complex cut-off saw. If you made it vertical and added a table would it be possible? Also with its slow RPM would it work for resawing wood cleanly? -Pedro

So a metal cutting bandsaw is ok for wood?

Even with the miter gauge?

Yea, you think that 1/2" blades would work? I hear they track better and for resawing they're pretty good. Also, it's an hour drive so shipping is not too big of an issue.

So it's possible to make the HF metal bandsaw vertical? Also can it cut wood?

Doug: Yes I thought about it and I decided to buy the NWGS plans two days ago. It's just a matter of time now :). Do you know where I can get tips on building it just in case I get confused. I think my drill press should be useful here. I have no idea what tapping is though... -Pedro

No? why's that?

I want a bandsaw and I have a ok amount of funds for a mediocre bandsaw, It's not my top priority tool so I don't want to go on spending 500$ on one. While I was at sears getting my sander fixed and what not I saw a craftman 10" bandsaw for about 150$, online I saw it was 200$. It is a...

Hahaha! Is it that bad? I mean it doesn't look to be to bad and there's no way of tweaking it? I mean this as far as i've seen i'm not going to get any better bandsaws for this price. Especially new... If it's that bad what other brands or machines do you think would help under this price range?

Do you think it's alright then? I probably won't start out with scales very often. and when I'm there I use my sander or hand tools but To make the scales and make clean, perfectly fitting and straight cuts I think a bandsaw would make it a little easier and I have the money for this one.

Franklin: Peters?

Rex: Haha a christmas forums. Tha'd be hectic but great! Ones of my best friends a while back was named Aldo, so that also inclines me to buy from him :P. Oh alright, I can't weld yet but i'll find something to put oil in. I will probably use old car oil or the canola for now. How long does oil...

ARcustomknives: I'm actually really interested in the NWGS but it does seem rather expensive when you consider I was barley able to afford a 100$ grinder. I am about to sell the tanks though. I got a about 400-500$ offer for them (I found them in the house I moved into, the previous owner could...

csiekman: I am also in North phx. That would be great. -Pedro

Rex: Haha I like to see the passion in your writing. I will make sure to start ordering from Aldo as soon as I get some money and yes I would like to take you up on that offer and i'll be glad to pay the shipping. I've been here for very little and I already see how great everyone on knife dogs...

CTaylorJr: Oh ok! Thank you for helping my understand.

Josh: Thank you very much :) I wish to learn how to heat treat myself (I like doing every process because it all comes with the experience). I have a make shift forge made of loose firebricks, Not very much space in it and I have no way to get Coal, just charcoal and thats expensive with the...
