Someone on KZitem (can’t remember who) made a push stick that looked like a pointing hand. I had to have one! So I made it. I wish I could send a photo. So I knew what you were making! Also, I made a rolling enclosure for my shop vac. Lined with sound absorbing material (but maybe not necessary) on casters, with an exterior on/off switch. Very quiet. 👍🏻 Congratulations and cheers from CA.

Mike. Does the saw have a "power out" that you can connect extraction to, so one switch does both things in a single press? What a great machine, I wish I had one. It is the destiny of every man to spend time in a workshop making pieces of wood smaller. Thing is though you are really good at it!

I use the 12 or 14 tpi raker blades for freehand and prettier cuts. It looks like that's what you have on yours now. It is a good blade and easier to stay in complete control of what's going on. Most of the time, I have a 3 tpi hook blade on for ripping and cutting bowl blanks. They are a lot more graby, and its better to use jigs when possible. They are easier to sharpen a few times, too. If I do not hit a rock or a piece of iron, the 3 tpi blade will always outlast the raker blade.

Nice machine! I've been considering replacing my ageing Charnwood one with something decent for a while... The micro adjuster on the fence seems overkill considering bandsaws will inevitably have a small amount of sway, but I imagine it'll be useful on small thin stock. I like the dust extraction features too. What's the noise like while in use?
