Well I need some muscle for about 10 minutes anyone want to come give me a hand Why do I need some extra muscle you might ask. Well I have this brand new 198lb Grizzly 14" band saw that I need to get up off the floor and onto the stand:d But first I am waiting on the Brown Box truck to bring me the mobile base so I can move the band saw out of the way when I am not using it. I have cleared a space next to the green tool box for the saw to go. It makes my old saw look tiny aye:d
Thats a heck of a saw Russ. And your right, the other saw looks pretty meager compared to your new one.
Zach. With the base and all the packaging the box weighed close to 250lb I had a heck of a time getting it into the shop as there is a 2ft step up into the shop:d The new saw should do everything I need it to do from rough cutting risers to ripping lams. That way I wont have to send them out to Kent to rip for me:d The only draw back with the new saw is it has a 4" dust port so it looks like my next purchase for the shop is going to be a decent dust collector that I can swap from 2" to 4" ports.
Pick the dang thing up ya big sissy! LOL! If you really get in a jam let me know. I don't know when I could get away but I'll figure something out. Things are pretty hectic what with Lily having dance and soccer twice a week each.
Steve Yeah and I was a little peeved aswell had a 1pm appointment for them to bring it. They never showed up till 7pm Greg. What do you mean let ya know your bloody phone is always turned off:d It's ok mate next door has workmen there and they said one of them would help me.
Lol!! Nope and neither am I. Little do we know Russ Is probably a big old body builder!! I just like giving him a rough time, he tends to poke at me so I try and get him back here and there.:d
Yeah, lately I haven't been using it for an alarm clock and I don't remember to turn it on until I've been at work for a while.
Steve. Atleast you got the old bit right:d Well she is up and running, you know I really didn't know what I was missing out on. I tell ya she runs real quite and makes short work of rough cutting a riser:d All the adjustments are easy to get at and she has 2 speeds fast and freakin faster I have a 3/4" 3TPI blade on order, it should be here in a few days so I will be able to test her out on some lams.
What you mean he's BIG body builder? haven't you seen him on the Jack In The Box commercials? I figured the saw should be eye level to him without the stand!Congrats on new tool Russ...should make work easier!
Nice piece of kit Russ , you'll be knocking bows up left , right and centre now . Another build -a-long would be cool .
Well they pay me more than you get for those Tavelocity commercials you do It is, but you would still need a couple of cinder blocks to stand on:evil: :d Zach. I am making another riser for the pass around bow on the other forum and another riser for my own Bogan But Steve should be calling me any minute now to order a bow to replace his recurve so I'll make that one a build a long :computer: :d Dave. Thanks mate I can tell you this the new saw certainly is making life a lot easier, I just ripped a piece of wood to about 1/32" with no problem what so ever and that was with the 3/8" blade should be a lot better with the 3/4" wide blade:d
