Greetings; I managed to burn up the drive belt in my 10-325 Rikon bandsaw, and it will take about a week to get a pair of replacements and $50 worth of 1/2" hacksaw blade replacements.
In the meantime, I'm drooling over a grizzly G8292, which is a hand held bandsaw that can be mounted to a base (furnished) making it a small bench saw too, about the size and sheet metal build of a 14" abrasive saw but looks to be tougher built than an abrasive saw. If this can stand a 10 minute runtime while carving a 1.25 by 1.25 x 1.50" block of alu off a bigger block, to be used as jigs for making the brass tap holders once some additional machining has been done, then cool for a month until I get another wild hair, it will do what I need to do. And its $209.95 plus some shipping for 38 lbs. I don't have room for a conventional swinging power hacksaw. So, does anyone have one of these and can give me an opinion as to whether or not its worth the nominally $230 it will take to put it on my front deck? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
