Thanks for the email Bill, yes its the same, reviews on the web were very good and this is why i bought this model item # 03111. It said it was $199.99 on sale...

Found a project to put the new Homier to the limit of its capabilities. and it did GREAT!! I have a new 6x26 knee mill, and the spindle to table travel is...
... Yes, its a little hydraulic cyl with a regulator to control downfeed rate, very handy in some cuts, though not in the case of that monster I was...
What is the purpose of adding a cylinder for the downfeed instead of useing the spring? I only cut 1" to 4" solid rd stock and I don't seem to be havin any...
Not much point if all you cut is solid 1" or greater stock. Where it shines is when you are cutting angle or channel iron, pipe/tubing or a 1/4" plate on...
Hi: Hmmmm.... was wondering that myself, as I mainly cut solid stock in prep for downstream turning and milling operations. Angle, channel thin-walled pipe...
Thanks Glenn I understand completely, I went down to the shop and put in a piece of 1 1/2" tubin and had to hold up on the saw to keep it from diggin in to...
As long as you don't do much aluminum that will work fine. I do a lot of aluminum extrusions etc. and it is wonderful for that. The other hand thing is I can...
Glenn May I ask where you sourced the cylinder? Des ________________________________ From: 4x6bandsaw@yahoogroups.com [mailto:4x6bandsaw@yahoogroups.com] On ...

...lately, I've been toying with the idea of replacing the flimsy vertical saw table supplied with these machines with something a little more robust. Ideally,...
I bought my Starrett bi-metal's on sale for $11 each .. cut like a dream. The Chinese blades are good for selling the saw, and that's about the extent of it. ...
I got my blades at a industrial supply for $5 each, I ask them to make them up from scrap pieces cut off from the rolls, I got a few different TPI, he told me...
Yup!..... but not with a mitre guage and stuff. Keeping it simple, I just replaced the flimsy plate with a robust 1/4" plate made from 6061 Aluminum. I...

I didn't put a miter guage slot in it but I built a table that is easy and quick to change out. I replaced the stock screws in the metal plate that you remove...
