Shop / Tools Let's talk bandsaws!

I have the swag table (not sure if v3) and that saw. It took a good bit of filing to get then to mate up well but I like the result.
I welded an electrical box to the stand with a switched outlet. I cut the end off an extension cord and wired it into the outlet and then plug the saw into that. Switch on the side of the stand. I tried the foot switch from SWAG and it's just a crappy HF one and didn't like it. Also, don't bother with the fancy miter guide, a straight cut never seems to line up with the guide.

Finally decided to go this route. Gonna pick up a Swag V4 table for it as I really like the idea of the quick disconnect for other uses.

If you can afford the corpses version, I’d highly recommend it. I have several bandsaw models at work and somehow the cordless full-size is the best of them all.

The Swag v4 table showed up. It's just an adjuster and a wingnut and it's all set. This is nice!

This is one of those "why did I wait so long to get one" kind of things. Cuts like butter!
