Very nice Steve! I like the larger avatars especially. As always, thanks for all you do.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

I buy the 6X48 belts from Peachtree every year at the wood show. If they are the same material, I can say that they are top quality. Unless you gum them up they really last.

I think Polyurethane gives about the toughest finish, and waterproof.

Not asking the spot Russ, just wondering if it was in Tampa Bay or the other coast? I wouldn't tell me either!

Hate to rain on your parade, but I would have to agree with your wife. $100 difference (Woodcraft has them on sale often to) for warrantied and newer by 6 years?

When a bandsaw is acting up it is a true frustration. Once you get the hang of the setup it's like getting a new toy. Makes you just look for more projects to use it on.

Can;t speak for the excalibur because I haven't used one. I have had 2 hawks over the years and both were flawless.

My tires wore out so i replaced them with urethane ones. The 1/8 blades are great, but they do break more often.

Congratulations! Just use the same setup whenever you change blades and you will stay happy..
Russ it looks like we made another convert to Alex Snodgrass.

The subject of bandsaw drift goes on and on, however if the saw is properly set up, there is no drift. Search you tube for Alex Snodgrasses video on setting up a bandsaw and pay particular attention to the section on where to locate the blade on the wheels and drift can be essentially eliminated.

I have had several different bandsaw fences over the years and my favorite yet is the Carter Magfence. It works on any saw with a cast iron table and setup & removal couldn't be quicker.

I have had a couple of bandsaw fences over the years, but my favorite is the Carter Magfence. It works with any saw that has a cast iron table. Easy setup and take down. Sounds like I am a shill for Carter, but I am not. They just have a lot of truly great products for bandsaws.
