Thanks guys.

The woodslicer blade was easy to figure out. But the timberwolf blade has alot of options and honestly I don’t know enough to make a good decision. I would like to try my (safe) hand at some bandsaw boxes, Just not sure which blades to go after. I see a tenon joint in my future also.

-- Thank You Veterans!

Well, you don’t really have to choose. Eventually the one you choose first will get dull and you can try the other.

BTW, I have exactly the same setup. Enjoy!

In transit, 26 hours from order time on wed. to pick up at warehouse. Riser and base are UPS and the saw is fedex. I already cleaned an area for it to placed when not is use. All my toys are on wheels. I can say toys because my wife won’t read this…..........

-- Thank You Veterans!

Exactly my set up, so good choice :)
You are going to love it!

Fed ex just called, the saw will be at the dock on tues. It left portland at noon today and will make it to sacramento in 5 days ( yes 5 days ) for 580 miles. Trucking has sure changed, I drove truck for 21 years and I have made the portland turn many times. On my truck that trailer would be here tonight. Maybe with the cost of fuel being what it is they’ve brought back the mule teams. I wonder why UPS is doing more business.

-- Thank You Veterans!

Congrats on the new equipment. Keep us posted on how it works out.

It’s up and running, since this is my first bandsaw everything just feels wrong, I got a timberwolf 1/2×10tpi at woodcraft because thats the only 105 they had. Learning blade tensioning is really hard when alone in the garage. Oh ya my woodslicer showed up also, I havent tryed it yet though. I’ll put some pics up soon.

-- Thank You Veterans!

Maybe I just haven’t hurt myself yet, but the bandsaw feels like the safest tool in my shop. I’m acutely aware of the blade in front of me but the control is unlike any other big shop tool (in my experience). You got a great saw and will have tons of fun with it.
