    Hi everyone,

    Customary introduction -tips hat-

    Was given a bandsaw (BP-305) as a present at the start of this year from my fiancee, was so happy with her performance as a fiancee that I've promoted her to wife. (But that makes me liable to give her a Kitchenaid or a new set of pots&pans around the same price doesnt it)

    Been a slow learning curve as I have been busy. But I am moving along well and have the projects in mind:
    - DIY Drill Press from a hand drill
    - Jewellery box
    - Work bench
    - Small greenhouse

    Would love to know if there's a service where a person comes over and does a bandsaw tune up for me. I've done it according to the manufacturer's recommendations and also "Taunton's Mastering your bandsaw" video, but because I don't have exactly the same setup, I'm a little worried that the machine isn't set up well.

    Cheers!

    Another tack to consider is as follows. I gave my wife a cordless Dremel and now she (we) have a decent range of Dremel accessories

    If it cuts straight and square and the blade stays on you are 90% there.
