comp56 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 well this morning while having my morning coffee wife says you need a Band saw? I say what kind of band saw?she says one of her friends father has one in her garage and she wants it out of thereI say find out what kind how old and how much.....she says let's just go look, if you want it I will get it for you.........Long story short, he bought it Dec 2013 used it for about 3/4 of an hour and decided to move away been sitting in her garage in her way ever since.......So we get there and see this........I say how much does she want because new they are around $800+ with tax, she says she wants $200 and most importantly she wants it out of her way ASAP.........well as you can see it is in my shop...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Your wife is definitely a keeper. That is something I would like to get eventually. Have you had a chance to take her for a test drive?Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Wow Comp, awesome stuff man. I can't get over how much that looks like the Jet 14" I'm specking out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 ya the 14" pretty much look pretty close to one another until you get into laguna then you step up huge in price also......ceramic guides, carter tensioners.....nice thing about this one is you can run it 110V or 220V and the motor is in bottom cabinet so nice and quiet plus it has 3 speeds ......let me know when ya get it I will share some awesome tips for set up..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 if it is the JET 708115K JWBS-14CS the only real difference is graphite guide blocks instead of bearings.....otherwise same thing when doors are open looks exact same...

comp56 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 thanks guys, well tell ya what if you don't know me by now, I save and collect stuff almost as bad as collecting tools.....jbw55 actually started a thread about collections and I should have made a post about my stuff.....wife calls it junk and she is not completely wrong a lot of it is while sitting by itself or until I find a use for it....anyway the new bandsaw I just got troubled me without a light so I rummaged thru my stuff...and found a perfect light for it.....I mounted it so I could easily wire it to the main power to the saw so the light can stay on or I can turn it off with it's own switch......here is what it ended up looking like....I say you would think it came like that.....did I mention it's an LED light....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sweet! A band saw is the last absolutely needed tool in my workshop, then I can start getting toys like a CNC, 3D Printer, Laser Cutter.. ETC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
