Official Luthiers Forum!

Link, I think you're stiring up dirt that just isn't there.

Todd has never said he has all the answers, he's just giving the answers that he does have. And for what ever it's worth, he's even asked to work with you so that both YOUR answers and HIS answers can be combined to form a much broader picture. I don't think it's about Todd at all. Really what does he have to gain from "being right"?

So either drop the ego or drop the subject. This has been one of the most informative threads on bandsaws and BOTH of you have great insights to offer. Neither of you has to be "right" and honestly, no one really cares one way or the other if either of you are ultimatly right.

Most people, if they really have the fortitude will listen to what both of you have to say, and do a bit more research will than come up with there own decision.

Besides, it's only a bandsaw. Not a versitile tool like a table saw

Sounds like some good information(Todd you have always blown me away with your knowledge of tools ).

Keep your blades clean, cool, and use plenty of vaccume . Best advise I can think of.
