Bandsaw boxes

Hey Rich Soby I read a fix for the blade changing problem, I got it off Amazon. Here is part of it below;

There is one thing that really bugs me about this fence and that is that the rail mounts to the left, where as the original hung to the right. This makes the already difficult process of blade changing much more difficult. With a carbide blade I end up damaging them. Trying to wind a 1/2" wide blade around this thing is a nightmare.

I solved this problem by slotting out the left bolt hole to the top so that I can just loosen it and let the rail swing down. If you do a lot of blade changes, you'll hate the thing. I detested it before I thought of making the modification, which takes only 10 min. to do by cutting it out on the saw itself. Just add a star washer under the bolt head to keep it from slipping down. Now I love it. Kreg should have thought of this.


This may make sense to you because you have one. I'll have to wait until mine arrives.

Paul great tip on where the blade rides.

Thanks to all of you, I've leaned much!
