I bought this bandsaw over the phone from Sam Blasco two years ago. This machine is a beast. I am so glad I spent the money and bought it. I was looking at the 16-18 machines like Laguna, Grizzly, Felder and so on. I bought a 1 inch Lenox Carbide 3 teeth per inch and it cuts through red oak like a hot knife through butter. The shipping was expensive and had to get a neighbor with a tractor (forks) to get it unloaded and set on my concrete. After using this saw the others I was looking at are mere toys in comparison. I have no regrets but the 18 inch looks good as well
Very in depth , transparent about the machines capability. I watched some of your cabinet videos on your comb. Machine , and I appreciate your willingness to teach your way of doing things. Your musical taste seem pretty sophisticated! I enjoyed listening. Jazz inspired funk lol?
