I know you all like to see bandsaws. Seems to be one of the hottest topics here. Here's my new, used resaw. This is a Hitachi resaw. Took me a while to set it up. I bolted it to cinderblocks filled with cement. I also placed it on wheels to move around my shop. Have a custom made fence that I stole from my combination machine. That allows micro adjustment. It barely fits in my little shop I had to move some glue bottles.      Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ken |

Is it a 600 or 75 Ken? I have an old 600 that I really like, I also have a B100 (24") that is my dream saw but I sold High Mountain and moved off the property and into the city so will never likely set it up! The 600 will stay with me though. They are nice saws! Shane |

It is a 75. The only limitation is the 12 inch max height. But my jointer is only 12 anyway. I exchanged the motor for a 3 HP high torque one and it really has the needed power now. I have a bunch of the wide blades too. Should last a while. |

It came with a 220v 3hp motor which is enough. What a nice tool! I made an appliance to convert my 12" planer into a jointer which although a bit awkward to use works fine for wide planks. |

"That's no moon, it's a space station." Wow, I want one! Really, I need one. I own a bandsaw but it's nothing like that. I literally eyeball my cuts and only have about six inches of room to cut on the vertical. I shudder to think how much that cost. But I don't blame you one iota for buying it. Okay, I'm happy for you. -j |
