On my new/used bandsaw, which is a central machinery/harbor freight 14" model, I really couldn't stand the blade tension setup.
The knob was way too small and down behind the upper enclosure which made it nearly impossible to turn.
A trip to Lowes for a square nut and I was able to use some 3/8-16 threaded rod with a couple of nuts jammed on the top.
Now I just use my socket wrench to easily adjust the tension.

JarJar did, indeed, kill the buzz. Although in fairness, I was always distracted by the idea that Greedo is now a rebel.

Greedo has a positive attitude, but I've realized he never really says anything useful.

I got the jig for the truss rod slot made the other night.
I'm going to try my hand at a traditional single action heel adjust rod.
Should be fun for my first truss rod ever.

I also bought a coil winder on ebay.
Anybody have any idea how many turns a 51 p-bass style pickup would need with 42g wire to hit around 7k?

Thanks,
I'm hoping to at least have a finished bass when I'm done.
A prize would be icing on the cake.

And I hope people have fun watching.

Nice mod. I've heard good things about these saws, so how about an honest
full review? Did it come with the riser block? I think I read it could resaw
10 or 12" with the 104" blade. I need to upgrade from my little 9" table top
and since I've had about a 70% success rate with Harbor Freight, I'd like
to hear from someone that owns one before I buy it.

Like everybody else, I love this thread, btw. Thanks for sharing it, as I know
it's quite a bit of work.
