 |  Re: Band Saws The problem with the 3 wheel design is when a blade pops off, or you have to change a blade. It takes three hands to put it on, and I only have two.You can't easily push down on the tensioner and guide the blade around three wheels, or if you can you are a better man than I Gunga Din.

| Re: Band Saws He can probably even get the blade folded back the way it came out of the package. Still haven't mastered that one. Got em all hanging on nails in the shop. |

| Re: Band Saws Lorax, next time you change a blade, use a spring clamp to hold the blade onto the rear wheel while you slide if over the other two.

| Re: Band Saws [quote author=lorax link=board=General&num=1026862000&start=0# 0 date=07/16/02 at 18:26:39] Okay, so Im ready to throw my craftsman band saw in the river, it's the three wheel type--bad design. *So i am getting a 14 ' that I can put height spacer on (goes from 6' cutting height to 12'). *The two types I am looking at is Jet, and Rigid. *Has anyone got experience with these brands, whereas I should stay away from one of them? *thanks [/quote] I have a Ridgid bandsaw and believe it is a very good tool, I like it, the only drawback I see, they should have used a little more common sense in design in changing blades, have to take table off etc etc, I had a shopsmith a while back that was a snap to change blades on. Still like the ridgid tho |
