Which JET band saws do you guys have?
I have the real small one that only like $300 or so. It cuts pretty good, and its a horizontal and vertical

I've taken numerous classes on this. If its asbestos insulation NOBODY should be allowed in there and they should remove it immediately. If its just 9x9 tiles then as long as you guys aren't sanding it or scraping it up or disturbing it in a manner like those, then you'll be alright.

Hey Brain,
Did he sell that thing? The auction was ended early and I'm just wondering what he got for it.

I don't think this is completely true, argon is a gas that you breathe everyday, although i realize not in the same concentration. They do however mix it air used to fill scuba tanks because it is a "warmer" gas to breathe. I guess it has to do with the amount of heat that you lose when you breathe out regular air v. argon enriched air. I think i read something like a 7% decrease in heat loss through your breadth. I googled it but didn't come up with anything significant.

its the one that someone advertised tat southern-tools.com was havin a sale on, so far im having a ball with i, my manifold welding has gone up in quality cuz of the tight fitment due tot he vry nic cuts it makes, i cuts fast too !!

and yes i was consdering gettin a 200$ one, but in this industry its lawyas best t get something more than what you think you'd be using, and seeing that todd paid 1200 for his,. for 900 shipped to my door cant beat that, thts 300$ savings right there.

That's nice for $900.



My $200 one does not cut straight for ****. And don't tell me I don't know how to use it. It is ****.


Do not buy the $200 bandsaw.

I want to say 182 ? I can't remember right now. I bought it along time ago.

It is the most innacurate piece of **** ever. I am fairly good at making jigs that work. This thing will not do the same thing twice. Vertically it cuts crooked.

But what do you expect for $200. haha
