OK, I finally did it, I got a used Grizzly. The thing is, the first time I used a bandsaw was when I turned this one on to see if it ran! That's right, zero experience on a bandsaw. You might ask yourself "How could he know if it was worth it?". Well, it's a Grizzly Z series 14 1/2" (that's right, 14 1/2) that runs, sounds good, has some rust on parts, a lot of rust on the table, and cost me $150 (and almost one of my man parts). This is not really a tool gloat, though. This is more of a plea for all things bandsaw. Tips, especially safety habits, tricks, parts links, do's and don'ts, shop made jigs links, anything you can think of, I need.
I know you all are going to ask me for some more info, but I still have to tempt fate and unload it out of my van. When I do, I'll take some pics and write down some info. One thing in particular I need is the owner's manual. I have found the Z series 14" model manual, but not the +1/2". Swear to God, it says so right on the upper wheel!
Thanks in advance, got to go break a sweat!
