New member from Perth
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!

If it cuts straight and square and the blade stays on you are 90% there.Been a slow learning curve as I have been busy. But I am moving along well and have the projects in mind:
