Keith, Another 4x6 to consider is Enco's 5x6 Model # BN505-6862 on sale for $199. Enco tech support tells me this bandsaw is made by Rong Fu (Taiwan) and comes...
Quite awhile ago, I bought a Palmgren #250 milling attachment from someone on this list who had bought a minimill and didn't need it anymore. One of the...
You're probably right. I've never paid much attention to how many there are, and as long as they ALWAYS put "OT" on their posts, I don't really care how many...
It's been pretty damn hard just getting people to use "OT" and there are still quite a few who veer from an on-topic subject to an off-topic one without doing...

If the belt is turning the shaft but the chuck side is not turning, it is possible you broke one of the plastic Hi - Lo gears in the head. The good news is...

What do you consider a light cut. I don't do much work in mild steel (use mostly 6061 aluminum) but I don't think I would go deeper than .020 per pass on mild...
light cut meaning .010, that is all i was taking off. i didnt even have a chance to cut any aluminum or brass with it before it broke. I bought the stupid...

Clint, When you are first booting up go to the system BIOS. Some computers you have to hit the DEL key on bootup others use F1 and there are more different...
That would make me even more suspicious of a defective machine. It should handle a .010 cut in mild steel with no problem. Take it back to the store! By the...
Sounds like you've got it figured out. Have you thought about making your own endmill holders? To get around having to cut the 3MT taper, you could buy one 3MT...
