It comes with a 3/8 blade, but my first use is resawing wood down to thickness, so I figured why not, before I cut the legs Ill have to change it up.
Hey Allen- I am a totally newbie to woodworking, so my tool suggestions won't be worth a pile of sawdust (as a matter of fact, I will be soliciting tons of advice in the near future...especially about how to manage a new passion for woodworking with a wife who likes a clean and tidy house and zero balances on the credit cards (;-)) But since you are in the mood for a bandsaw and powermatic came up, Woodcraft is having a 20% off sale on Jet and Powermatic equipment May 15 and 16. That may be of some use. 20% off seems to be awesome on Jet stuff...I haven't shopped much, but I seem to usually see them at no more than 10% off retail, so 20% is pretty good, I think.
I dont understand why it takes me 25 minutes to change to a 3/4 inch blade, and only 2 minutes to put on a 1/4 inch blade.
Seems I have so much trouble getting the wider blade to line up.
(making a bandsaw box) and if someone can answer this-anyone?
