      From: muratlanne@gmail.com              "Bob La Londe" wrote in message news:val753$33ff9$1@dont-email.me...              I moved the original fence to a solid location for 8", and then made a       new fence for the regular position with a tooless screw/handle for angle       cuts. Most of the time I do not use the original fence in its new       locations. Maybe never since I got the 7x12 bandsaw for larger stock.              Bob La Londe              --------------------------------------              That sounds like a better approach. I kept the original fence and changed       only the fasteners, so it's still clumsy to adjust.              I'd buy a 7x12 if I had the space for it. I got the 4x6 for $125 and it's a       Delta with upgraded small parts compared to others I'd tried. With mods and       careful adjustment it has been accurate and large enough for my metal       projects and cuts a 6x6 timber neatly enough to leave the end exposed. My       hoisting gear helps it handle long and heavy stock.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
