Central Machinery - 32208 14" 4 speed woodworking band saw. (Rating: 5)
My Used and Improved Central Machinery Harbor Freight Special 14" Bandsaw Review
I was looking at buying a larger bandsaw (19"+) for the shop and came across some blogs on the internet about the HF bandsaw and how well it worked for the money. Since I was not in the market for a small bandsaw I filed it away under useful info and moved on. Then I stumbled on a guy selling this bandsaw a 1/2 hour away on Craigslist. I offered him $115 for it and the deal was done.
Total Cost:
Central Machinery Bandsaw #32208 = $115
Throat plate, Tension knob and Riser Kit= $25
Graphite Guides = $13
TimberWolf blade = $25
Total (Plus my Time) = $178
I am a member over at Charles Neil as well…where the original review comes from. There are a lot of pics and video there of what I did.

This is the link to the video on youtube
Hopefully no one is offended by this link to another site but a review is a review and I already did the whole thing once, and if you are offended…well there are other issues at play-
Update - New Table
