Picked up a new bandsaw (Jet HVBS-7MW) for the garage last weekend. As usual I found it on Craigslist but it was up in the mountains about 40 minutes north of me. Sent the guy an e-mail and he responded that he knew who I was...
After deciding he wasn't a stalker I continued the conversation and found out he's a long time member but doesn't post over on Pirate and recognized my e-mail since it's the same as my username everywhere.
So I drove up and paid the man.
Here's what it's replacing. I bought it for $100 a couple years ago, replaced the bearings, aligned a new blade and just let it work. Sold it Tuesday night for $120, can't beat that.
New setup. It was interesting to unload by myself. Ended up using the cherry picker to barely lift it off the bed then have my sister drive the Dodge out from underneath it while I steadied it.

I have been wanting a similar saw for years. My old one like yous has done the job but man a new better saw would be nice. It will happen some day.
